cooper flagg is a talented player who i think is fun to watch. but just like any talented player who i think is fun to watch, i do not want to feel like he is the sole point of discussion for announcers the entire time i am watching the game.

It’s always like that tbh. When a big name does something, Jokic, Luka, SGA, Giannis, Wemby, Flagg, Bron, whatever comes to mind, the amount of glaze gets crazy even if they are having a bad game. The other day when Spurs were about to win their 3rd straight against OKC and SGA was having probably his worst game of the season for his standards, he gets a nice layup and the commentators are like wow he is unstoppable. It’s like the guy is stoppable this game and they are getting cooked by the same team again, why not save it for another game

FormerlyCinnamonCash | Heat

5 | 9 hours ago

Austin rivers and Jamal Crawford were good this game. Austin called deni an all star & big upped him the whole game. They also pointed to toumani’s defense on cooper and the fact that Toumani leads the league in offensive fouls called while guarding his matchup. Called him an elite defender.

They also showed a lot of love to Clingan. Don’t really get where this energy is coming from

Least emotionally exhausting Blazers game.

Chrisfull

37 | 9 hours ago

First Blazers game I’ve watched, Deni Avdija looks super legit, unless this is an outlier it’s sad that everyone’s been flaming him. I hate how he does the thing where he beats a defender then twerks on them to bait fouls, but I only saw him get 1 bad call, and a few where he definitely coulda got more FTs.

eddkov | Trail Blazers

18 | 8 hours ago

Deni does foul bait a bit, I can’t deny it or act as if it doesn’t happen, but he is also 6’9 250 and has crazy acceleration. Most of the time he just forces you to foul him, too fast for the big guys and too strong for the small guys.

Chrisfull

15 | 8 hours ago

Deadset, I was expecting him to be flopping around but most of the time he was just pushing through contact on drives like normal, kicking out when some other players would toss up shots, really thought it would be egregious based on public opinion

Leroy--Brown

6 | 7 hours ago

Yeah he’s a drive and attempt to layup sort of fouler. He intentionally initiates contact. Is he legitimately attempting layups? Probably 50-60% of the time. Is he legitimately just driving and raising his hands through contact while driving at the basket with a lot of physicality? Also yes, 40-50% of the time.

Good for you for differentiating it from flopping. I just wish he wouldn’t complain to the refs when he doesn’t get fouls.

We have more than half our starters injured right now, and no point guards. It’s deni’s tactics and clingans offensive boards that have won basically all of our games this season.

ComprehensiveLaw1012 | Nets

2 | 2 hours ago

100%. People cry about him (at least partially for completely non-basketball reasons), but it’s not flopping. Can call it baiting in the sense that he’s looking for contact for sure, but most of the time the calls are legit.

Plenty of times he gets mauled with no-call too.

icecream_for_brunch | Trail Blazers

6 | 6 hours ago

He’s very, very hard to cover legally on a drive, partly because of his combination of strength & speed, and partly because he understands the foul rules and knows how to gather prior to contact to ensure he gets to the line.

Basically, he puts defenders in the position of having to decide between fouling him and letting him score.

I’ve never loved anything as much as that man loves shooting the ball. It’s always fun when he’s on though.

coolycooly | Nets

9 | 10 hours ago

Its insane how well he has translated to the NBA, I thought he would be one of those dudes that need the ball to do anything but he is like the perfect 6 man off the bench and can play off-ball with starters.

TB_016 | Trail Blazers

16 | 10 hours ago

He has been great the last few games but up until recently his season has been full on basketball terrorism. Shot is really falling right now so Blazers will take it lol.

SeismicRipFart | Trail Blazers

9 | 10 hours ago

To be fair though he is a two-way rookie who was thrust into a way larger role than expected this year. Gotta expect the guy to go through a little adjustment period to get up to speed. And based on his recent play it’s looking like he’s getting through that phase and turning the corner into an actual nba player.

The odds of that happening are very low, I don’t think people really understand that. He deserves some credit.

d7h7n | Mavericks

6 | 9 hours ago

He is performing about as expected for anyone who watched him in college for 5 years.

beatrailblazer | Trail Blazers

2 | 9 hours ago

he has not translated well at all. He was downright horrendous in all but one game this whole season, until a few games ago. now he’s put together a couple good ones in a row. Hopefully this trend continues

Mazor007 | Wizards

5 | 10 hours ago

They’re both C+ tier teams. Not quite D or F tier but a little sub-mid (?)

TB_016 | Trail Blazers

14 | 10 hours ago

C+ seems about right. Blazers are so injured they don’t even have a healthy PG on the roster so they can’t get much better.

Mazor007 | Wizards

10 | 9 hours ago

Yeah, for sure. Jrue has been injured forever and you might need some missing person posters for Scoot.

Kyrie

TB_016 | Trail Blazers

7 | 10 hours ago

Can’t believe I spaced on kyrie after hearing how he taught Williams every single basketball move he knows 100 times during the broadcast. That’ll be a fun game.

SeismicRipFart | Trail Blazers

-1 | 10 hours ago

Nah Kyrie is their dame. Basically out for the year.

If you’re trying to argue their roster is even remotely as injured as ours is and has been for 2 months now, you’re very incorrect.

Dallass is literally below us right now despite that too lol we’re gonna finish very far ahead of them once we get a point guard or two back. Different tiers, just appears like they might be in the same one right now if you’re a casual.

msterling2012 | Mavericks

Missing three starters in AD, Kyrie and Lively sadly.

Brandon Williams vs Caleb Love was a fun subplot to this game.

fluxtable | Trail Blazers

12 | 10 hours ago

What a game. Refs definitely bailed the Blazers out at the end with those two calls. Im not sad about it but it doesnt feel good either.

Williams was really fun to watch even though he was killing us the whole game

Caleb Love was our savior. He made massive shots that killed the Mavs momentum

Peacock should have their broadcast license revoked. Absolutely terrible production and the announcers were dick riding the Mavs the entire game even when they were down 15.

VictorAkwaowo1 | Mavericks

I just think our sub put Ryan on this high pedestal too damn soon. He’s gonna have a long career as a fine rotational guard, but unfortunately his height will restrict him from ever being more than that.

A_MASSIVE_PERVERT | Mavericks

2 | 10 hours ago

Yeah his limitations were clear even his hot streak. He can’t score and can’t defend and his shooting was a bit fake. Gonna be hard to carve out a role for yourself when all you can do is pass.

SeismicRipFart | Trail Blazers

-6 | 9 hours ago

Bro you guys were saying he was the future pg of this team with a ridiculous ceiling lol. Now you’ve backpeddled all the way to saying he’ll be a rotational guard and have a long career?

Bro no. The dude isn’t good, and his brother is extremely overrated too. Except his bro is actual nba height and with a reliable shot and defender.

Ryan doesn’t have a bright future in the league. And personally I’m not convinced he even has a future in the league at all. He’s a bad player on both ends and is tiny. I don’t know what all of you guys saw in him. He had a hot little rookie debut and then teams decided to actually try and stop him and were able to quite effortlessly. If he had a different last name he probably would never have even gotten signed to an nba team.

VictorAkwaowo1 | Mavericks

7 | 9 hours ago

First off relax and take a deep breath, because it’s not that fucking serious. Second you’re acting like the entire fanbase were in joint agreement that Ryan was gonna be the long term solution at the PG spot.

Also you saying that Andrew Nembhard is extremely overrated, for the good production that he’s been putting up for a couple of seasons now with what he’s making definitely makes me question your basketball knowledge. I truly don’t know who the fuck made you this mad.

SeismicRipFart | Trail Blazers

-8 | 9 hours ago

What’s funny is you’re projecting super hard here because your comment is very clearly way more “angry” than mine. The rhetoric you used in your comment shows way more emotion/enthusiasm than in my own lol.

I’m talking ball, you’re talking shit. Quit acting goofy.

VictorAkwaowo1 | Mavericks

3 | 9 hours ago

How you’re talking ball whenever you didn’t come up with a single thing to backup your claim about why you think Andrew Nembhard is overrated. Not like he averaged 15/6/3 on an efficient 56/48/77 shooting splits as the 4th option in his first time playing in the playoffs.

It’s just weird to me how you’re trying to come off as edgy with your take, when everyone knows how good of a player he’s been thus far in his career while also massively outplaying his 3/58M extension.

loyola-atherton | Lakers

Didn’t watch the game but considering how close scores are, and Mavs are without AD and Kyrie, pretty well played by Cooper and co. Blazers are tough opponents to play against and I feel like they are a pretty clutch team when games are close.

There were two absolutely trash calls that went our way at the end and probably won us the game. It was lopsided towards the Mavs most the time but refs know what the spread was

The Portland Trail Blazers (14-19) defeat the Dallas Mavericks (12-22), 125-122.
