Considering they have the second hardest scheduled left its going to get uglier but hopefully its worth in the end
Omax 16p 10r 1a 3s 1b on 70% from the field & 2-4 from 3. Another mistake by Nico
Someone needs to tell this team that no matter how much they lose by it only counts as one loss. This was an important loss though, we were even with Memphis in the win column after the two game win streak and it was looking bleak before these back to back losses to the Kings and Grizz. Hopefully the Pelicans can pass us, the sixth position sounds like a sweet spot
Potentially the most important loss of the year!
They just waived Tyus Jones LMAO so they basically took a chance or maybe you could say a gamble and it didn't pay off. They gave Branham for nothing without even thinking long term for Jones 😂 yeah this front office looks cooked and needs a revamp ASAP before (at least a month or two before the draft) LoL
NGL, it's a little depressing pod. Lots of negativity, but I understand the frustration. It sucks not seeing Cooper especially after what THEY said to Stein as a report. At the same time, Kon essentially has passed Coop again. It sucks in all aspects. I hope Coop does come back soon. BUT when it comes to the tanking, this is really good. This is great actually. We needed this loss to solidify the 7th best odds. The games are going to be very, very difficult from here on out. Going to be some ugly basketball for a month and a half, and we can finally wrap this crap season once and for all. It sucks today being this frustrated, but I do see a light at the end of the tunnel.
That's a good point, we can't have "good takeaways" when Coop is out. Each game feels like just sitting in a hospital bed waiting to die.
Smh. Dallas Mavs are such a disappointment. They never had to tank. They never had to trade Anthony Davis. Cooper Flagg is saying,"I didn't sign up for this. I'm all about winning. I know he wishes he was in his friend Knueppel's position. Coop was so excited about playing with Davis. Coop will be looking for a team that doesn't practice tanking.
Dallas will be tanking for the next 15 years. Kyrie will be traded. Good thing they are a major market. They had a great team with Anthony Davis and Coop. Dallas has definitely let the fans down. Real fans were excited about this season. Before the Davis trade, they were only five games away from 4th to 8th position in the standings. Coop saw this. They are tanking for what? They won't get another Cooper gift on draft day. Wow!!!
😏If I were to make a prediction, it would be that Washington will be a better team than Dallas next season. 😂. Coop is so angry. He said out of his own mouth," I don't like losing. Especially when he's seeing his good friend Knueppel winning. Hmmmm. Has Coop ever been on a losing team?
Like I said at the beginning of the season when we should have done this m, trade pj and gafford for trey Murphy, except it's way harder now 🤦🏿♂️,the people who were saying they would never trade gafford at the beginning of the season what now?
