I'm in Orlando, and tonight was my first ever Mavs' game! The boys played hard, didn't win, but they put up a fight. Better than losing by 80 in Charlotte. Thanks for the fight, I believe in us moving forward!
Solo night!?
Klay needs to become a starter option when kai comes back
Great game!!!I needed that loss…
This is how you tank baby!
Just finished the game, that was very entertaining. Middleton, Klay and Coop were on one tonight!
If Im Cooper Flagg I wouldn't care less about the ROYT and more on honing his FG and 3pt% Avg. so next year we.can go back to the playoffs… how that for a story! healty narrative for the him, its just yhat he aint winning ROY. Stop stretching rhat gum… buddy, buddy Kon "Quenepa." de Bayamón PR is winning that trophy, no hate towards our guy but Mr 50/40/90 got this 🔥
Khris Middleton is a great championship vet to have in the room with Cooper Flagg. If there’s any way you can keep him around at a reasonable price you should do it Klay also.
Who are everyone keepers on the team and guys they can let go of?
I really liked this game despite the loss. A lot of good stuff to take from this game
I'VE BEEN SAYING "SIMPLIFY PJ ROLE!" PJ ideal role is being a simple 3nD and having him as a weak side defender. I think PJ was especially great at defending the rim today.
Khris showed having another competent shot creator other than Cooper is going to vital for Maverick's success.
(lowkey extremely excited for next year to see the damage Cooper-Khris-Kyrie can do)
Obviously always need good shooters.
I do think the Mavericks need better perimeter defenders that are ideally guards. Those big lineups they used were okay, but aren't optimal. Im really hoping the Mavericks goes after Keon Ellis because i think he's an ideal fit defensively.
In a hypothetical lineup, Center, Cooper, Khris, Max, Keon is a good lineup and it's very interchangeable like benching Max, move Keon to the 2 and slide in Kyrie at the 1 and vice versa with Keon and Max.
