Flagg was measured at just under 6" 8". That probably puts him at the height of Magic Johnson, and an inch shorter than Larry Bird. But he doesn't have the skill set of either of these players. I would put him in the category of Detlef Schrempf, which is not bad. Same standing reach.
They're starting to build some chemistry, that's what it is. As a Mavs fan, I can see the first days that Coop was too shy to take shots. Now everyone is feeling comfortable with one another. Coop and AD seemed closer too, sometimes you can see them laugh together in games. Damn, I just can't wait for Kyrie to come back.
People are just not that smart lately. The Mavs struggled early bc they played Flagg out of position and had no point guard. This team has been deadly all year. A healthy Mavs can challenge anyone.
Mavericks is team basketball on both sides of the floor contrast it with lakers, its LUKA ball, its not fun to watch, and mavs fans know what I'm talking about if they don't they've always been luka stans
6 games in a row for AD…if you get more consistency from him…get the value and trade. Build for 5 years…coop will be 23-24 and still have a 10 year window of prime performance
Another issue they were having was Dlive didn’t fit because it clogged the paint for AD and Cooper. Then you would have lineups where there would be 1 shooter. Klay moving to the bench has helped a lot. But the most important thing is that they have found health. The losing was way overblown in terms of determining how good or bad this team was. 14 clutch gam losses coming from 2024 where they were most clutch team and the clutch player on the team is Kyrie. If the clutch leader had been Luka then it would affirm they aren’t that good. But Kyrie led league in 2nd half scoring 20ppg and 4th q scoring.
Cooper plays harder on defense than Tatum and is more aesthetically pleasing to watch offensively (though not yet as good). They're both boring personalities, but at least Cooper has hope to grow out of that. I don't need to hear Tatum say anything else at this point.

They've been playing a bit better yeah. Probably cuz of nembhard and not playing Deangelo Russell as much
They have talent only AD have to stay healthy and playing for it to work. Unless of course Coop levels up again
0:35 so nasty 🤮 😷

you have to be special to be successful in the NBA as a sub 6ft'er. Wow

Defense Wins 🏆 CHAMPIONSHIPS. Faith over fear. Fortune favors the Bold. Nico is Always RIGHT ✅️. Luka and Lakers look SOFT

How crazy would it be if the Mavericks limp into the playoffs, beat the Thunder, and then win the Championship. Nico would be vindicated LOL!

The issue was point guard or lack there of, kyrie and Nem will solve that issue.
Ryan is not 5'11 is 6'1
Coop is playing well with AD. Chemistry takes time, and sometimes it never happens.

@7:30— Cooper Flagg: 8 ASST, 0 TO last night.
