Kidd talks about the start of two consecutive losses: The offense is much better and we can no longer keep violating shooting players.
6686 Sports News on October 25th. In the regular season that ended today, the Mavericks lost to the Wizards 107-117 at the home court and suffered two consecutive losses at the beginning.
After the game, the Mavericks coach Kidd talked about the Mavericks' two-game losing streak and the team's offensive and defensive problems.
On two consecutive losses: "It's still early, this is the second game. We still have a lot to work on, but I think a positive aspect is that I think the group of players on the field brought us back into the game with high energy. They played in the right way. The way we play, it's not just one person trying to do everything, so defense is the reason we get back into the game, and then we start to make plays."
On offense: "I think (the offense) is much better. When you create a shot, you have to make one. Some, but right now we're not making them. You're always going to miss some shots and you're going to make some shots, but on the defensive end, we've got to be better and we're not up to par in that area a lot of times, our defense is our offense, so we've got to do that. "It's better."
On guarding: "We can't keep violating shooting players. This is a very bad habit of ours. To be able to defend the ball carrier, you must be able to keep the ball in front of us, and we are not doing that at the moment."
