Happy early birthday, Luka Doncic. The Mavericks 23-year-old superstar will turn 24 Tuesday — or on Wednesday night in Dallas for those keeping Slovenian time —...
After Dallas’ colossal collapse against the Los Angeles Lakers, Kidd called out his team’s immaturity and lengthy gripes with officials — a nod toward his young star.
“The line of communication is always open. I think when you look at our relationship, it’s a really healthy and good relationship where he knows I’m trying to help him, one, be accountable and, two, be a leader. He’s only — well, he’ll be 24 tomorrow, but he’s a young 24, so it’s just trying to help him navigate the leadership role and help him be better.”Doncic started the game shooting 5 of 8 from the floor, tallying 14 points, six rebounds and three assists in the first quarter.
The Mavericks fell to 1-3 with Doncic and Kyrie Irving together, continuing an early trend of struggles with game-winning or tying possessions. The two had a tense relationship amid Carlisle’s controlling style and in-game management. Doncic several times became demonstrative with Carlisle in public view — in the run of play and on the bench.
“The officials, they tend not to stop the game to change calls, so you have to understand that,” Kidd said. “There’s a point in time during games, dead balls, to be able to talk to officials. … If we’re lobbying for calls during live play, it puts us in harm’s way.”Recall a couple games later, when TNT analyst Reggie Miller said Kidd thanked him forDoncic’s response then: “I’ve got to be better.”
