I know it’s a regular season award. But if the Mavs toss the Suns from the playoffs. Monty Williams should hand Jason Kidd the Coach of the Year trophy. He might take Luka and a bunch of 2nd rounders to the playoffs. One of the best coaching performances in years. – 11:56 PM

Jason Kidd didn’t agree about calling Game 6 an elimination game (even though it, like, actually is) but he did say this on Mavs’ mindset: “We don’t have a ceiling. We don’t have any pressure to win a championship. We’re trying to win and learn how to win at the highest level.” – 7:58 PM
