![[Weber] Jason Kidd said that P.J. Washington gave a message tonight in the locker room: “Give this group some time. This is a new group. A lot of injuries. We’re learning each other, we’re asking guys to change their role…Guys have been in a positive state, the energy is great.](https://www.rawchili.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/07uOR1wAncsHX0FGZVj0_t8aMRpVR3grzoGPrwZ_bwM-1920x1024.jpg)
Continued quote: “We believe every time that we take the floor that we can win but also knowing sometimes you don’t, but can you learn from that. It’s a long season, so I give P.J. a lot of credit for that voice in that locker room right now of keeping guys together.”

PJ has quickly become my favorite player on the team
PJ the GLUE as I been saying he keeping it together. Commands respect & is well spoken
PJ is the heart of this team.
Very fair we definitely over reacted a bit from the Griz game. Lot of the guys are handling the ball more, injuries and sickness have not helped with consistency and roster rotations.
Just gotta keep rolling with the punches and next man up. They’ll be some bad games but hopefully enough good ones for Luka and Kai to come back and fuck up the West.
This is a fuckin vibe. If they all learn how to play like this. Dear lord it could make for a unbeatable team going forward.
I love PJ! He’s so important to this team
thank god for Kyle Kuzma and his over inflated ego…PJ has been everything+ for the Mavs, you can tell it means a whole helluva lot to him to put that Dallas jersey on
PJ aka The Punisher Washington.
PJ needs to be on the mavs for the rest of his career. Has a real chance to crack top 5 mavs ever
PJ always looks like he’s having fun out there and that positive energy speaks a lot. i feel like him trying to take over that memphis game (and failing unfortunately) was him trying to send a message to the team. he did it tonight tho so that’s what matters!
My boy is standing on business alright 💙
Damn Mavs don’t hurtem
This is what the kids call demon time
Good for PJ. We need more leaders like this.
The fact we beat the Lakers with Bron/AD, but lose to the junior varsity Grizz shows that it’s not about talent, but about effort and being prepared for opponents.
Knowing the Lakers game was on national television, you probably had guys come in extra locked in. Meanwhile we saw no Ja and Banes and thought it’d be easier
I remember when Hornets fans were warning us about PJ Washington lol
Nothing better than having a leader like PJ and to top ot off he is a native. 
Alpha
He’s a Dallas guy and a absolute badass……the kinda guys there’s been a shortage of on this team in the past. Not anymore lol.
