Did TANKING Influence Bam Adebayo’s 83-Point Game & Dallas Mavericks Struggle?
The Dallas Mavericks suffer another tough loss, this time to the Atlanta Hawks, as the Mavs struggle to find answers late in the NBA season. With Cooper Flagg’s offensive challenges, questions about Kyrie Irving’s return, and the effects of tanking on the team’s culture, Mavs fans continue searching for hope and highlights in Dallas.
Nick Angstadt is joined by Slightly Biased to break down the Dallas Mavericks’ defeat against the Atlanta Hawks and dive deep into what’s going wrong for Cooper Flagg and the rest of the roster. This episode covers performances from key Mavs players like Klay Thompson, Daniel Gafford, PJ Washington, and Naji Marshall as the team battles through injuries and losing streaks. They also touch on NBA storylines like Bam Adebayo’s historic scoring night, the impact of tanking across the league, as well as mentions of Khris Middleton, Max Christie, and the continued absence of Dereck Lively II. The hosts discuss the challenges facing Jason Kidd’s roster decisions and what Mark Cuban and Patrick Dumont might be considering as the season winds down.

Was Bam Debayo's 83-point more COOL or a sign of NBA problems?
Perspective:
Bam: 83 points and 43 free throws, 71.7 true shooting
Luka: 73 points and 16 free throws, 91.2 true shooting
Kobe: 81 points and 20 free throws, 73.9 true shooting
If Anthony Davis Plays He Scores 19pts… Washington DC The Tanking Capital 😂😂
43 free throws is fucking crazy
27:18 I do not remotely give one iota of the letter F, not even a full word, if Cooper misses a shot.
I hate this NBA
Bam took 43 free throws in his 83-point game. Klay Thompson has taken 40 free throws total in the 57 games he's played for the Mavs this season.
If bam hit 10 more shots he could've broken that 101 point meme
Slightly biased is actually just a little bias. I knew it
Dwight Howard had the previous NBA record for free throw attempts in a game at 39, and that was because of hack a Shaq. The league should be embarrassed
This tanking makes the nba really ridiculous. It does not make any sense at all and the games become a joke. Thats no basketball. It has to change immediatley or you can forget it. Nobody wants to see this kind of games. The people are going to turn off their tv because this is no game. This way of nba really sucks! Stop it!
Playing coop at point is not only losing the team games, it's destroying his soul. Also you can't frustrated, you asked for this
lame 83
Bam was the 14th pick in 2017 draft
GAFFORD! 💪😎
A Mavs podcast discussing a heat player scoring 83😂😂😂😂 Listen, we all know what that game was the wizards didn’t wanna win but Bam put in that work 83 points is 83 points. Don’t disrespect the man to highlight a problem within the NBA.
In my opinion,let Coop play the PG position until the end of season,sure he will make mistakes and most likely fail but i would rather have him develop this skillset until he get use to it
Flagg has mechanical issues with his shot. He’s not going to shoot a decent % from 3 without a major reworking of his shot.
ahhh doesnt matter 83 is 83. its not like wizards double tripple team him.
