What stood out about Cooper Flagg’s performance against the Raptors?
Cooper is 100% on free throws through 3 games. Nice to see.
Klay washed
I salute the Flagg
1 week into the season and Luka already hurt. Nico wasn’t right but he wasn’t 100% wrong either
A couple days ago these guys were crying that Kidd didn’t know what he’s doing 🤦🏿♂️😂😂, welcome back on the bandwagon
Those are luka fans not mavs fan smh 🤦🏿♂️ 😂😂
They call them Stalkers
Mavs embraced Cooper when they chanted FLAGG during the national anthem.
Man I loved Luka doncic ….BUT I'm all in on Cooper Flagg and the Dallas Mavericks!!
Y'all sad ASF praising cooper flag because if his 22 points lmao oh wow
Flagg will be a great player because of his motor and work ethic. This kid wants to be the best!
I hope Flagg doesn’t gain weight, or he’ll be shipped to the Wizards for 3 second rounders.
Flagg is 21-21 from the FT line in 7 games including pre-season
Time to send Klay to the bench. Start DLo, PJ, Cooper, AD, Lively.
Max, Naji, then Klay for depth off the bench for the wings.
Love Locked on Epilepsy!
Flagg is great but leaning on the lottery pick to feel better is what lottery teams do. The Mavs squeaked out one win out of three home games against teams that have lived in the lottery for a while. Lets see what the offense looks like against Houston, OKC, Clippers Minn, Golden State.
I was big on Luka prior to his draft and I’m just as big on Cooper. I think Copper has the potential to be one of the all time great 2 way players. While I sad to see Luka gone I understand the vision behind the trade and understood the concerns with giving him that massive contract when he couldn’t commit to his conditioning. If Luka did what he did this offseason in the past he would still be here.
NICK. IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON BRO. Living in the Past will do Nothing for you. MOVE ON FROM LUKA BRO.
Too many fans are about highlight plays. They are fun, but fundamental basketball is what wins games.
One thing I’ve noticed about us Mavs fans good/bad we are very volatile and reactionary. Leads to us being easily swayed by these “feel good” moments like yesterday. I still don’t think the roster is currently in a solid contender position though. Very separate issue, Flagg is in a great spot and will be vital to the team moving forward. We are no where near being contenders rn though. Wish they would just trade to rebuild. We are fooling ourselves thinking we can currently compete
Luka will always be a Maverick but I have embraced Flagg. Only 18 years old and is good on both sides of the ball, is a good play maker not only for himself but to his team. Most importantly he doesn't complain, he goes out and play.
The issue is not at all about accepting Cooper; I think most fans are accepting him as something special and will continue to embrace and support him. The issue is accepting Nico after letting Brunson walk and then ripping the soul out of the fan base by trading Luka, and for pennies on the dollar at that. Until ownership admits it was wrong in accepting Nico’s analysis of the value of Luka and lets Nico pursue a career somewhere else, the dark cloud of the trade will hang over this franchise: that would be a good business move in the long run.
11:46 “6 7”
For people who still dont buy the hype then complain about Luka its very simple go be a laker fan Luka literally said he moved on if you havent you have serious problems
Luka would be sidelined for the season if he tried to dunk four times in a game like Flagg did 😂
FIRE NICO
Flagg is great and I fully embrace him but it’s still FIRE NICO! It’s not that hard to understand
Let max start
Dlo max flagg ad and gafford
Flagg is a promising player. Nice to see that. Just have to stay grounded. For this team to enter championship run, a lot is still needed. Defense first. giving up 120 in regular time is not something to brag.
Fire Nico …fire kidd ..trade Davis .Thompson and flagg
Mavs go on a 20-2 run down 19 vs OKC.
Good to see a little heart and perhaps a quality deep option opening up with Christie. 13-23 from three and 12 points a game. It isn’t a lot but it’s critical if he and Naji can give us good perimeter defense along with 20 points a game from the shooting guard spot.
We are set everywhere else once Kyrie comes back.
What a difference 12 hours makes, huh?
Wow! A 6-9 NBA player made a dunk🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
2 PTS, 2 REB, 2 STL, 0 AST, 1/9 FGM – 11.1%, 31 MIN, -20, LOSS . He’s also got dunked on and blocked by Chet … Next LeBron James for sure …
Cooper Flagg is not showing signs of generational talent yet. Luka was 3 games in. He will not replace anyone for a few seasons assuming he improves a lot every year. This is a 30 win type season.
