People who’ve been writing him off are so fucking stupid. He’s going to be one of the best players in the league.

Dependent-Effect6077

82 | 2 days ago

The whole situation in Dallas has kind of ruined his hype train compared to where it should be

He’ll kind of always be compared against Luka which obviously isn’t fair

joe4553

23 | 2 days ago

Luka Dončić’s first 10 games of his NBA career averaged 19.6 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 3.8 assists. Flagg right now is at 15.2 points, 6.6 rebounds, 3.1 assists. Not quite as good, but certainly not a flop.

LindberghBar | Pacers

18 | 2 days ago

especially when this is his first year of professional basketball and he’s 18 years old. luka was playing professional basketball for 3 years before he went to the NBA

EnriquezGuerrilla | Lakers

But but they told me that didnt matter cause Luka couldnt do it in US college?

papadondon | DAL

8 | 2 days ago

you forgot the defense part :(

lovo17 | Lakers

11 | 2 days ago

At least it’s good for him that Nico was fired quickly and the org made the quick decision to start the rebuild. Having to play behind Kyrie and AD would’ve been bad for his career development. At least he gets to go through some growing pains while playing low pressure basketball.

Also him and Lively is a very good foundation to start a rebuild.

StormTheTrooper | Mavericks

2 | 2 days ago

A bit, but less. Fanbase is more than ready to give him the reigns with patience for a long rebuild. The one that handles the daily comparisons to Luka is AD.

complexvibess | Warriors

1 | 2 days ago

This is a dumb thing to say. The comparison isn’t to Luka. It’s to nobody. It’s just about how bad that team is from fo to the team they assembled.

Initial-Distance-338 | Kings

There are more people who bring up that others have written him off than the actual number of people who have written him off.

TheRealestGayle | Magic

Yeah, I don’t know who is writing off a number 1 pick after a couple games. Especially when he’s actually played well. I still haven’t written off Sarr even after he looked terrible last year.

ltmon | Mavericks

People love posting his unflattering stat lines – mostly for karma farming really – but that’s a lot different to writing him off.

Unless you’re definition is like top 25 he’s definitely not going to be

Longjumping_Kale3013

1 | 2 days ago

I think he’s just not living up to the hype. He was viewed as a generational player, but currently would not win rookie of the year. He was third on the last rookie ladder. I think he moves up to number 2 now. But currently the top 4 rookies look about the same level, with knueppel leading.

So yea, he’s really good. One of the best rookies, and will be one of the best players. But he’s been hyped as a generational player

The_Rain_Guardian | Slovenia

Imagine what his stat line would’ve been if they didn’t put him in the corner for the 1st half

Public-Product-1503

Wasn’t really getting spoonfed spot up shots except one three he hit. Once he gets more confident in his shot from 3( already looks good inside ) he’ll really be cooking

bigtice | Rockets

77 | 3 days ago

That was a pretty pathetic call to foul out Advija.

And without him on the floor, the Blazers’ offense was struggling to execute with the Mavericks clamping down.

DevicePleasant1160 | Rockets

29 | 2 days ago

I agree, considering I’m used to watching Adams ragdoll centers like they’re playdough, that call was wild

butterflyhole | Trail Blazers

23 | 2 days ago

That absurd call followed by the no call on the Shaedon dunk had me heated. I’m being a sore loser tonight.

tomato_johnson

18 | 2 days ago

Especially with the Mavericks’ secret strategy of slapping the ball out of bounds and being awarded the ball

KW_1979 | Trail Blazers

Bad calls happen. No-calls happen. And then there’s this. NBA officiating has been awful this season with the endless whistles and free throws, but this is just blatant game fixing.

Damptoe | Mavericks

15 | 2 days ago

They’ve been fighting so hard this season and it’s made me realise I’m too weak to be a hard line Mavs accelerationist, especially since the witch’s spawn probably won’t sell for decades realistically. I was admittedly hate watching them to see fuckface fail, but I’m much less angry than I thought I’d be now that the cancer has finally been excised. Still a lot of sports sadness though because the wound is still so fresh. I had actually deluded myself into thinking I’d be fine with the Lakers winning to make the situation as toxic as possible for Humpty Dumpty, but I waver on that every time I see the piss yellow (no offense to piss yellow fans).

Go Mavs.

shortyman920 | Lakers

5 | 2 days ago

Don’t worry we hate the piss yellow Nike has forced onto us as well. I dk a single Laker fan who wouldn’t prefer the classic gold and purp from the adidas days

EnriquezGuerrilla | Lakers

3 | 2 days ago

I’m at the other side of the fence. I don’t think I can ever anymore support a franchise that self-exploded out of nowhere, esp. given that they just happened to get Flagg who was not even in the discussion when they traded away their franchise player. Dumont is still there, the bumbling buffoons who allowed Nico to do it are also still there, so you don’t know who to trust. Like what is the entire point of an entirely self-inflicted rebuild? I just can’t invest time in rooting for such a circus. Mavs might just remain to be a dysfunctional franchise forever.

Edit: But congratulations on the first post-Nico win.

incredibleamadeuscho | Lakers

0 | 2 days ago

As a Mavs watcher due to my favorites, Mavs accelerationism makes it hard to talk the game with a lot of Mavs fans. They want to tank so bad but just watching Cooper, you can see how badly he wants to win. I cant image watching a game with Cooper, Christie, and B Will balling and wanting them to lose.

nG_Skyz

23 | 2 days ago

In the last 1 minute of the game and OT, Flagg went ³⁄₄ from the floor, had block, huge rebounds and a long outlet pass to PJ. Unreal this kid is 18 years old and THRIVED in the high pressure moments of the game.

TheRealLukaDoncicBro | Mavericks

Block wasn’t counted cause of the foul by Klay but yeah… already the go to player in the clutch, he’s gonna be a star.

Deni’s 3 pointer was the worst decision he’s ever made in his career. Camara also building an MRP case (Most Regressed Player)

Inevitable-Scar5877

Somehow the Mavs haven’t decided to make #1 pick a focal point of their offense for the most part and it’s weird

luntiang_tipaklong | Mavericks

Yeah, it is frustrating to see him just stand in the corner. But Flagg has been great and aggressive this past few games.

Rickey Davis on the cavs LeBron’s rookie year vibes

incredibleamadeuscho | Lakers

-5 | 2 days ago

He isnt talented enough offensive on a regular basis. There are time he get lost under the basket, where he isnt able to pass out. He’s not an efficient scorer, so if he’s your focal point there will be a lot of struggles

ktpkchu | Mavericks

7 | 2 days ago

no better time to improve on that than when you’re 18 years old and your team should be tanking this year

incredibleamadeuscho | Lakers

-1 | 2 days ago

They dont want to just tank. It’s not good for development to just tank. Do you think Cooper Flagg wants to associate his first year in Dallas with losing? Flagg has gotta find out how to improve his efficiency while trying to win. They will be bad enough without a forced tank. And the flattened odds means tanking matters less. How many years have the Wizards and Jazz been tanking? Mavs got the #1 pick last year without even trying.

Edit: He tried to do the Dame “bad shot” while game is tied but got the Valentine shot instead

Leroy--Brown

Tbh that bad shot of his lost the game just as much as him fouling out for that BS call. We need our PG back, either one of them.

mcassweed | NBA

3 | 2 days ago

Has to be one of the lowest IQ plays in recent years. You willingly give the defense the exact shot that they want you to take, when you could have easily drove in for a potential foul (which he is good at drawing).

Here’s your Mavs Post Game Summary. Brought back for our 9th season

This was originally started when the Mavs first started to actually be a lottery team in 2017 so it’s only right to bring it back now that they’re back in the mud

Did the Mavs Lose? ⛔🏓🪖

Has AD been traded yet? ⛔

Tank Hit a Speed Bump 4️⃣-🔟

Back to Back Overtime Games 🥲

Anthony “Street Clothes” Day-to-Davis” Games Missed: 9️⃣

Welcome back PJ! 21pts knocking down 5 3’s 👌💦🉑

Cooper with an all around 21/8/5 & 3 Stocks. Wish he got more shot attempts in the 2nd half since he did most of his damage in the 1st. Once again has a game tying shot in the final minute followed by a game tying freethrow AND a go ahead bucket in OT and got his post game interview 🏳️🧊🎤

Gaffney with 20/6/2 & 2 Blocks . Hope he’s ok 🦶✋ ✋

Max with 13pts once again knocking down his quota 3 3’s 👌 💦

BWill with 15/2/6 👍

DLo nearly matching with 12/2/7 🪫

Klay once again upping his trade value with another microwave shooting game with 19pts on 5 3’s to tie PJ 💦👌🔥

Back to Back Overtime games but this time it’s with a back to back against Minnesota tomorrow 🐺

I was watching that game neutrally and it was great from start to finish. I’m PISSED that the ref’s ego ended up deciding it instead of the players on the court.
