This dummy said 2 games ago that "everyone on the Lakers besides Luka sucks". What a fool.
Better trade Cooper flag
Trade Cooper Flagg to Bronny James
Mavs are cursed! Fire nico! 💀💀🤣
Why does anyone even discuss the roster? That's not the issue.
Nico said he will shut you all up when they win a chip…win now mode loading
Tried to tell yall about pooper man.. now yall finding it out the hard way. Im tired of this hes only 18 when ppl were saying he would be a top 30 player in the league at 17. I like cooper he is a great role player
Thank you Nico, Lakers fan.
Yes after 7 games u were wrong about cooper .. he had a 2pt game . He looks like a great role player like rhe best role player ever who could make aallstar game or two.. but people were saying allstar caliber from the game
Who do we have to add with Klay to get Morant? At least he is fun to watch.
That Martin guy is complete trash
Cooper is too damn passive
The defense is solid, but the team lacks a scorer, especially in crunch time. If Ja Morant is available, try to get him. Maybe they'll accept AD as trade bait. Otherwise, due to his salary, a package consisting of Gafford, Klay, Marshall, and picks.
People should stop attacking Cooper; he's a rookie and is allowed to make mistakes; he needs to develop. That's the echo of the huge media hype. Kidd should protect him more and put him in a position where he feels comfortable. This experiment as a guard is doing him more harm than good at the moment.
They stink. Kidd is doing a bad job with this team. They are not putting in enough effort. I'm still not sure about Flagg. I really thought he would avg 20 a game but he has no offensive game. Also trade Lively now while you can get something good for him. He doesn't fit on this team and he is injury prone
The Adelson family ripped the soul out of the Mavericks. The team has no identity. Luka was the identity. When they traded and slandered him it destroyed the culture of the team. They have ZERO community relation skills so this Maverick team may be bottom feeders for a long time.
Not D-Lo, add all Mavs players, their basketball iq do not match Sengun.
You know what's whit Cooper? Kidd expects too much too soon. He should be fighting for his minutes a little bit at the age of 18 not being in the role of the most important player of the franchise. Let him grow a little bit. He's been playing student's basketball not like Luka who has been playing Eurolegue. There a significat difference! I feel bad for Cooper to land such a team. :/
This just showes how much inpact luka had on this team he made everybody looks better now no more pasion among the players
Nico screwed us, he a LA guy, all this is rigged… lakers vs knicks in finals this year to get ratings back up… just wait
That was my last game im not not watching anymore
Cooper Flag should have stayed in college or he could be the next Adam Morrison!!!
Where is your rose colored glasses?
PJ for Dalton, Maxi, Shake Milton and a second. Who says no? 😂
The Dallas sports scene currently sucks now !! 😂😫.
Trade Klay & Martin for Ja.
Remember when idiots thought Cooper Flagg would make up for the loss of Luka????
So ridiculous that Nico still has a job. Kidd should be next to be held accountable. Each player should also be only judged by their performance. Availability & dependability. This whole franchise is the joke of the league and it must start at the top. Flagg great 1st qtr then second half a no show. Morant will be given away, roll the dice Nico, make the trade Klay & Martin for Morant.
This team has fallen far. From fun to watch and finials to current bottom feeder. So sad.
D-lo is ok, he’s never consistent and plays sloppy once someone defends him. PJ was a beast and always attacking and plays defense. I enjoyed Max’s game he has stepped up. Again Klay needs to come off the bench. Cooper is still learning the system and isn’t ready to be a point guard. We need everyone that’s injured to heal quickly and come back to see what we really can do but until then we need to win some games.
Nice recap Marcel. It took the number one offense in the NBA everything they had to beat us. We are getting stronger and we could have once again won that game. The aggressiveness the Mav's played with was no doubt sparked by the ability to run. I saw our pace get faster and faster depending on who was on the floor. If we can play at this pace we can compete with anyone. Of course, we will not be able to run like this with the addition of AD. So Kidd has got his work cut out for him in deciphering the proper line ups so we don't throw a wrench in the faster pace. Adding lively to the mix I believe would have got us the win. Max was able to attack Houston's bigs even drawing some fouls. Kidd has to give Hardy and B-Will the green light to attack at least six times each in a similar fashion to at least draw fouls and get some of the bigs off the floor. With 7:22 left in the fourth after a 7-0 run by the Mavs we are clicking on all cylinders at this point. Kidd sends in Flagg as if he was the closer. Flagg throws a wrench in the flow and Houston does not guard him. It's like we are playing 4 on 5 to go on to lose. What's sad is we were in the bonus for a good portion of the fourth. Most Coaches would immediately attack the paint in a close game in any common scenario. Flagg like a deer in headlights during crunch time, should not be put in a high-pressure situation like this. Flagg played pretty much funky free in the first half. Bring Flagg off the bench, take the pressure off him and enjoy what he can bring. Very proud of our boys though, no quit in them. Don't jump ship to early, if you take a good look, the evolving of Mav's greatness is at hand. The final product we be something to behold as we all will bask in their greatness. Our boy's need us more now than ever so cheer on, brighter days are on the horizon. Go Mavs!
On the Awful Coaching Podcast 90% of the bad defensive plays he dissected were on Klay and Brandon Williams inability to fight through a screen, set up a double team correctly or pick up a man through the screen. We were down by 10 when hardy came in, and were down by 1 when he went out for Bwill. And Houston went on a 10-2 run. Bwill and Klay are horrendous defensively. If you dont believe me, watch the breakdown of the film. BWill should not be playing over Hardy! PERIOD!
Worst trade in sports history.
Bro we need to get rid of dlo and martin and get dinwittie back and that would put everything back into place dlo is just a offensive guard and he turns the ball over too much dinwittie did too at times but he's a better fit he played well for the mavs
Oh but it can keep on going..
Kidd keeps giving participation tropheys for this team..they shouldn't be this bad with the players they have….Not good!!!!!!!!
