Jason Kidd is correct. Boston doesn’t really have any adjustments to make. That’s what makes this series so interesting. The Mavs took 3 full games to find an answer (Pace, attacking cross matchups, not helping as much defensively) Now that they’ve “figured it out” Boston doesn’t have a counter,... show more

@kyriemavs Brother I'm not sure you understand the tactical aspects of basketball to the extent that you'd like to believe if you think the 64 win NBA team has "no adjustments" they could possibly make

Name the adjustment then

@kyriemavs My man really has belief and actually thinks in his brain that the Mavs are going to come back to win the series.. being an addicted sports fan will scramble the brain lol

@kyriemavs There is always a counter

There’s no counter to Boston getting attacked in cross matchups. That’s their best play. There’s no counter to switching everything because it will allow the Dallas lob game to get going. So they will keep switching. There’s no counter to the defensive issues Boston has when they can’t get back and get set. If they leak out earlier they won’t get any second chance points. There’s no counter because Boston had the best gameplan for this series in game 1. The only way to go now is down if they make adjustments to counter what the Mavs did in game 4. They just have to hope it doesn’t work again for Dallas

@kyriemavs If you take away those swing threes their offense haults.

It will be up to Tatum and Brown to consistently win off the dribble. And a group effort to stop the Mavs in transition

@kyriemavs This is so asinine today to say. There is always a counter, the question is, is the counter worth it? You could sell out on Luka more and dare the others to beat you on the road. They could throw a zone. They could go small and push more pace. There are counters...

Any counter Boston makes in a reaction to game 4 makes them worse. Not better. They have the best gameplan possible for this series, if the Mavs beat it, they beat it, but changing to something just for the sake of changing is asinine

@kyriemavs Boston doesn't have adjustments or they didn't have to? Kidd's Mavericks took 2 years to beat this team. Did he finally figure something out or did he get 75 pts from his bench and role players? Will adjustment have Lively, Exum and Hardaway outscoring JT,JB and Holiday again?
