Jason Kidd may not think the boat is burning after the Dallas Mavericks (2-6) suffered the team’s latest loss, at home on Wednesday, 101-99, to the New Orleans Pelicans, who were down three of their top players and on the second end of a back-to-back set.

Even graded on a curve, the Dallas Mavericks’ 101-99 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday at American Airlines Center was a particularly ugly one. Dallas (2-6) shot just 6-of-22 (27.3%) from the floor in the first quarter. They shot 2-for-12 in the paint through the first quarter and a half of the game. […]

My concern is simple: the Mavericks are not doing right by Cooper Flagg. For a generational rookie, the ping pong ball could’ve bounced anywhere — maybe to Washington, where Flagg would’ve missed shots, lost games, but played freely in his role and grown through reps. Instead, he lands in Dallas — a franchise that went […]
