What happened? A diagnosis

[youzigizag]

This does seem to be Kidd’s MO.  Jack around for the first 2/3 of the season with various lineups and rotations.  No sense of urgency when games are on the line.  Then the last 20-25 games put everything together into a cohesive winning strategy.  He’s even taking timeouts appropriately now.

It was going on with Rick too.

I forget how many years I have been following the Mavs closely.  5 years maybe.   Its been THE EXACT same way every year.

This board goes into meltdown and then last 1/3rd of season Mavs show another gear.

I have many posts with disclaimers at the bottom when I join discussion that say "If we dont get bait and switched as normal".  Most recently was a fire Jason Kidd convo from a few weeks ago.   I put the disclaimer "assuming Mavs dont show another gear late season as normal" or something to that effect.
