One of the 4 teams from the Eastern Conference that has managed to reach the final stage of the NBA Cup 2024 is Dallas Mavericks. The competition is in its second edition, following the inaugural one won by the Los Angeles Lakers in 2023.
However, the coach of the Mavs, Jason Kidd, is not too fond of the way this cup is structured, using regular season games to spice up this part of the season.
Kidd is concerned about the limited recovery time his players have due to the travels they must undertake for this NBA Cup. "The schedule is a disaster," he said in remarks reported by the Dallas Morning News.
"It's something that needs to be looked at if they want the competition to be fair. This schedule has been a disaster from going out west to East, going from Denver to Miami to Atlanta; back home for one; to Utah and Portland in a back-to-back; and then back home for an NBA Cup game."
"We're not out here complaining about it, but it's definitely something that needs to be looked at if they want the competition and the players to perform," added the Dallas Mavericks coach.
