PORTLAND, Ore. – It’s been an interesting first quarter of the season for the Mavericks.
They have played 21 games and shown several different personalities while keeping up a solid pace in the cutthroat Western Conference.
Identity?
Nope. Not even close. Not yet, anyway. But what Jason Kidd and his coaching staff have done is show to everyone, most importantly his players, that the Mavericks can hit the curveball and just about any other pitch people throw at them.
They’ve had a love of diversity through the first 21 games.
“We’ve had a couple teams here of late, just different groups playing at a high level,” Kidd said after the quick, take-no-prisoners 2-0 trip to Utah and Portland.
