It’s going to be hilarious to hear about how much Flagg and his family love the Celtics every game the Mavs play against Boston. It was unhinged on the broadcast tonight

Yeah I was shocked the other Celtics Mavs game will also be on national TV. But realized it’s definitely just so they can talk about the Flaggs loving the Celtics again lol

Cooper Flagg is going to take that Luka-esque leap next year all the signs point to it. I can easily see him average 28/8/6 with all-NBA defense.

TatumBrownWhite | Celtics

11 | 10 hours ago

I hope you guys end up with Dybantsa

You guys deserve a shot at dual two-way wings after they ended Luka’s playoffs 3 times (Kawhi/PG 2x, JT/JB in the Finals)

hawk8024 | Mavericks

Peterson would be a much better fit with him. Feel like AJ and Coop would be more of a “your turn, my turn” offense due to how redundant they are at the same position.

I’d obviously be stoked to be in a position to have either of them though to be clear lol

TatumBrownWhite | Celtics

7 | 9 hours ago

Feel like AJ and Coop would be more of a “your turn, my turn” offense due to how redundant they are at the same position.

Think this gets overstated in how much that matters though.

We’ve consistently had elite offenses with the Jays, the Clippers when Kawhi/PG were healthy were a Top 5 offense.

The upside it gives you in the playoffs to have 2 wings who can matchup hunt is crazy.

hawk8024 | Mavericks

Oh I’m not saying AJ and Flagg wouldn’t work, they absolutely would. I’m just saying I think Flagg and Peterson would work better. He’s an elite shooter and honestly just a better player than AJ right now honestly in my opinion.

That lingering injury is my one concern with him. To that point, he’d fit right in with our roster if he had trouble staying on the floor lol

The other thing is that Peterson plays really well off-ball. AJ hasn’t shown that on BYU as much, and although I’m sure he could still score off the attention Flagg draws, the fit is almost perfect with Peterson. I think Peterson would be DEADLY playing the Kyrie to Flagg’s LeBron. It’d cover up the flaws (playmaking and conditioning/health) he has shown in college.

A_MASSIVE_PERVERT | Mavericks

I would much rather have Peterson but if we end up with him (lol the rest of the NBA would be BEYOND pissed if that happened…) I won’t complain.

Imagine you roll into next season with Kyrie, Christie, Cooper, AJ, PJ, AD, and a healthy Lively.

Anyone but AD. He’s burned bridges wherever he goes. He’s nothing but dead weight right now.

Dybantsa sucks. He can’t do shit against comp

goosu | Cavaliers

1 | 7 hours ago

Sucks is an exaggeration. He’s still offering up pretty great production, even in conference play. I’m starting to question him as the no.1 though. He has all the size, athleticism, and offensive skills that should give him the highest ceiling of those 3, but it just doesn’t seem to translate to dominant scoring against the best of the best. His functional athleticism isn’t as impressive as the hype.

I had him as my no.1 coming into conference play, but I am starting to question it. Peterson looks readier to instantly translate as an efficient scorer, and Boozer has a super high floor.

Celtics had 5 free throws as a team. What Bullshit. The Grifter King Reeves, coming back from injury off the bench, had 10 alone (Lakers 39 total).

DeepJunglePowerWild | Celtics

12 | 9 hours ago

But remember, the refs missed on foul call on Lebron vs the Celtics which totally outweighs 4 seasons of otherworldly positivity free throw disparity. So the refs hate the Lakers

Unusual-Ask6933 | Celtics

3 | 9 hours ago

The thing about that moment that nobody cares about is there should’ve been a foul on AD right before that, which would’ve prevented the entire thing. Only the missed laker call matters I guess. They could’ve won in OT.

JB got smacked on the head the previous play with no whistle, either. Crazy how history only remembers the play at the buzzer.

Joe Mazzulla is a really good coach and knows how to coach. Go back 3 years ago and a few Celtics fans would argue against this.

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

Did the Mavs Lose? ✅🏓🪖

Has AD been traded yet? ⛔

Tank is rolling 1️⃣9️⃣-3️⃣1️⃣

Anthony “Street Clothes” Day-to-Davis” Games Missed Tracker: 3️⃣0️⃣

Did Cooper get his points? 🏳️ ✅ keeping his red hot streak going with 38/9/6 & 2 Blocks 🔥✋✋

Landlord Gaffney with a ¹⁰⁄₁₂ & 2 Blocks Double Double 🔟🔟✋✋

Klay with 9pts also knocking down 3 3’s

Martin with 13/5/3 remembering how to play basketball since it was the Celtics tonight 👍

Naji had a rough go tonight going ⁴⁄₁₅ from the field. Really uncharacteristic of his considering how automatic he is from all his spots 🧱🔪

Jaylen Brown was one on tonight: Explosive off the dribble, big verticality, crashing the boards, locking dudes up, making the extra pass, scoring from all over the floor and then ultimately putting the game to bed….

He’s just amazing to watch right now.
