He had a lane open up last night that was as wide as a freeway and fired it out to the perimeter that raised some eyebrows. But overall Kidd just brings a calmness to this Dallas team. When things get hectic it's always nice to have Kidd bring it slowly up the floor and make the right decisions. He hardly even has to move with his vision. He can just stand there and survey the scene and all of of a sudden he's hitting a cutter to the basket or firing a pass off to someone wide open coming off a pick.
I'm hoping Kidd and Dirk get it done this year. I can't put my finger on it but the mavs just don't get rattled or lose this postseason. They could be getting outplayed and you look up and they are up 6 points. It's weird.
Dirk and Kidd definitely deserve a championship ring. It's way past due for these two future HoFers.
Also, Mavs have been so dominant at finishing out games. If you look back at the regular season, Mavs had a ton of games where they only won by 1-5 points. Granted maybe some games shouldn't have gotten that close, but it goes to show that they can keep their cool and close out a game when it gets down to crunch time.
And yeah I do also remember the games where they gave up huge leads and eventually lost the game. Won't discount those games, but overall, Mavs have been really good at closing out games this year. Perhaps that is why they are so ridiculous this year in the post season.
