Under Kidd, the Mavs to me have learned to win games in multiple different ways compared to what we saw with RC. With Carlisle it was basically we out shoot you or we lose. Hence the absurd like 32-1 record of games when we had a higher 3pt% compared to the other team. Definitely made us too predictable and one-dimensional.

I for one can't believe the defensive rotations I've seen to start the season. These are the same guys from last year that I thought could never really be a good defender. The defense is noticeably improved.

14x All-Star, 12x all-NBA, 1x MVP, 1x Finals MVP, 1 NBA Championship: Dirk Nowitzki, the man, the myth, the legend.
