re: Did we wear out the Suns?

This mavs team had some of the worse Defense in the league the last 3 seasons with pretty much the same roster. Jason Kidd got them dudes to buy in on the defensive end.

Problem is they only had one wing defender. Dorian had to do everything and defend everyone with no help. Adding Bullock was huge. Now they have two guys, and Bullock is also good against smaller guards.

Sean Sweeney is the guy who got them to buy in on defense. Sweeney played a huge part in developing Giannis. The thing people don’t understand is Kidd is really just the name and face out front, surrounded by an incredible coaching staff.

One of the things people have talked about is how involved the assistants are, which is something Kidd wouldn’t have liked in his other head coaching gigs. I don’t think Kidd does much of anything.

To put it more plainly, Kidd is basically Ed Orgeron.
