Mavericks respond to 'Fire Nico' chants after collapse against Bucks

Following the game, head coach Jason Kidd was asked how the negative energy has impacted the team. He essentially worked his way around the question.

"That's a good question. I think you've got to ask them [the players], they're playing," Kidd said, according to The Smoking Cuban's Noah Weber. "It's noise, so I would say that, speaking for them, we just continue to keep playing throughout the game. I thought, again, we put ourselves in a position to win tonight, but that's a question you'll have to ask the players that are playing."

Fifth-year guard Brandon Williams, who finished with 19 points, 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and one steal, didn't seem to be a fan of the chants.

"It's unfortunate for sure, but we've got to play through it, any and everything. But yeah, it's really unfortunate," Williams said, per Weber.

Bucks center Myles Turner even chimed in on the scene. Turner was born in Texas and spent a season with the Longhorns before declaring for the NBA Draft.

“It’s a crazy league. you have to be ready for anything at all times," Turner said per LockedOnMavs' Isaac Harris. "it’s a tough situation to be in making decisions and you have to live with those decisions. it is what it is.”

Though the Mavericks may not like it, Dallas supporters will probably continue to voice their displeasure when the team takes on the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday, November 12. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET.
