  1. When I play with this team on 2k.. I’m starting to
    Flagg
    Christie
    Klay
    Middleton
    Gafford

    FLAGG NEEDS SHOOTERS

  2. So sad to hear that u are happy about loosing, that’s not sports anymore! So dissapointed in u and sorry but I wish u to loose next season too just because of this. Go Luka, MVP!

  3. just ran a tankathon sim mavs dropped to 7th, pelicans into top 4… obsessing over individual losses is pointless…. 39-43, 1.8% hit last year, the spurs moved way up, going back New Orleans jumped up for Zion, Memphis for Ja and I'm sure theres more examples between 18-25… just play ball

  4. If you really follow the Mavs, you know that was a great loss. We are like 30 days away from pairing Cooper with another top young talent. it's all about draft positioning! Don't look now but the Kings are on a 2 game win streak!

  5. I can’t believe you keep saying Cooper Flagg is playing well he’s looked like dog shit lately like he’s quit on the team

  6. this shyt is different…there is not an organization in the league that could get Michael or Kobe to be on board with losing on purpose….the world is weak af now….analytics has ruined sports….great message to send to the kids…i pray the basketball "gods" passes proper judgement on all these teams losing on purpose

  7. I have a deep fear that the Mavericks are going to revert back to the early 80’s/90’s teams that were absolutely awful under this new management regime.

  8. I wasn't convinced they were tanking, especially after the Cavs win, but now I'm convinced. Not starting Bags at the 5 was one indication. Playing him only 19 minutes is crazy and he still led the team with 9 boards. Gafford out with an "illness" when he was recently out for "rest." 🤷🏾

    Klay out for rest. Middleton only 18 minutes. Yeah the tank is on.

  9. Jazz has 5 games remaining against the tanking teams… Mavs have 1 game remaining against the tanking teams…. Let's go!!!!!

  10. When B.Will first came in, he was not looking to score at all. He usually is your 2cnd best scorer and his absence was huge. I think he got hit in the head, concussed or something??
