The Dallas Mavericks recently got beaten by the Los Angeles Lakers, despite being 27 points up at one point. This is definitely an embarrassing loss for the franchise, and it definitely has implications in terms of seeding.
After the game, coach Jason Kidd called out his team, telling them that he is not a “savior” and adding that the team has to “grow up” as a whole. Elite teams don’t often have these kinds of losses, and hopefully, the Mavericks can learn a lesson here.
Jason Kidd: “I’m not the savior here. I’m not playing. I’m watching, just like you guys. As a team, we’ve got to mature. … We’ve got to grow up.”

It will be interesting to see how the Dallas Mavericks respond to this criticism from Jason Kidd. When a team blows this kind of lead, no fault can be really put on any one player, and it will take a team effort to do better in the future. Luka Doncic is widely considered to be one of the best players in the world, and it’ll be up to him to step up to ensure that this won’t happen again.
The Dallas Mavericks Could Win A Championship This Season
The Dallas Mavericks are widely viewed as a dark horse contender in the Western Conference due to the presence of Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving on their roster. Hopefully, they are able to make a deep run this season.
Previously, Kyrie Irving suggested that the Dallas Mavericks have the ability to win a championship this year. However, the star also noted that there are a lot of “great players in the way” of that happening.
“I feel very strongly about our ambitions to winning a championship,” said Kyrie Irving. “I can sit up and say we’re going to win one and put it out there, but we have all these great players in the way, and that’s the beauty of this game, that’s the beauty of this sport, that’s the beauty of this profession”.
It will be interesting to see if the Dallas Mavericks end up in the playoffs at all this year. There is still a chance that they could end up in the play-in tournament, and if they get eliminated there, then they obviously won’t get to the postseason.
With that being said, the Dallas Mavericks do have the talent to make some noise in the Western Conference. Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving are both elite playoff performers, and together, they are arguably the best one-two punch in the league. Only time will tell how far the Dallas Mavericks get, and they definitely have a high ceiling as a team.
