Cooper Flagg at the half: 25 points on 10⁄15 from the floor and 3⁄6 from three
Single-handedly keeping the mavericks in this game against they very much trying San Antonio Spurs.
ROTY.
Box score
Edit: fixed the link
Hooper Flagg
We have absolutely nobody who can guard him tonight. Not even sure if Castle could slow him down with the way he’s playing.
I was watching on my phone’s little screen and was thinking, good that the Spurs aren’t putting Castle on him. Turned out that was Vassell lmao.
CB. We should have started CB and put him on Flagg.
We played CB on him in the first half and he was getting cooked
Spurs are at 1st gear my guy. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wemby ain’t really even battling for the boards, too.
You have no good wings hopefully carter bryant develops
Vassell is definitely a good wing, maybe pump the brakes a bit
Hes 6-5 thats not going to hold up against the size and strength of some power forwards.
He doesn’t have to guard 4s, he was never drafted nor projected to do that, still a great wing player despite that
Nah he’s a pure SG, jusssttt big enough to play SF.
Relax
Vassell is very good and Castle can defend wings
Castle is basically the size of a wing and vassell is good. Also champagnie and Keldon are both good role players
Carter has put clamps on Flagg before
Coop has very quickly become my favorite player not on my favorite team.
Un-fucking-real to have a rookie class of this caliber that makes the ROTY genuinely a toss up with a guy like this.
It should be Cooper at this point. The Hornets are a good team and Kon deserves credit for being apart of that turnaround, but they are the 9 seed. If that’s part of the argument it just isn’t substantial at this point
Meanwhile Kon is having yet another stinker of a game. No way Cooper isnt the clear cut ROY at this point
Kia’s NBA ROTY Ladder from today: 1. Kon 2. Cooper
Cooper: “And I took that personally.”
Cooper Flagg
Cooper Flag
the lottery should’ve never been rigged
Where are the morons that said he couldn’t be a first option when he got drafted?
“nOt goOd eNoUgH sHoT cReAtIoN oR hAnDLeS”
Windhorst isn’t going to like this
Hornets aren’t going to either if they could read anything other than a Bojangles drive thru menu.
Mhh ,bo berry biscuits.
He’s so good.
Yea I wonder what mental gymnastics hornets fans are going to do now to deny this lmao
sTaTpaDdiNG aGaInsT bAd tEams - LOL
They’ll probably just start talking about how he’d look in a Spurs jersey instead.
Most are claiming cooper is chucking shots and his epm/vorp is less than kon
ROTY
Nah he’s a bum. I’m sure anyone on the hornets could do that to the tanking spurs.
Doesn’t count, he is doing it against a tanking team smh
That’s really good volume from 3. Just getting shots up from 3 opens up the spacing immensely. All these are pull up or side step 3s too.
His release is so quick off the dribble, defenders have to respect it even if he’s a couple feet behind the line. That gravity is gonna be huge at the next level.
The fact he’s creating his own looks from deep at that volume is what’s really impressive. Opens up his entire offensive game.
Cooper looks real nice out there
Plant the flagg
Dude is just a crackhead man, this brother fucking ridiculous
Kon is better than him apparently
BEAST!
Dude is so nice
Mavs won the backroom deal.
wait for part 2
might be another 40 pointer tonight… just normal Cooper stuff at this point
If he keeps on this pace he’s gonna put down an absolutely monster April ppg and break some records fs
Theyre gonna give Kon Kapono ROTY over this dude hahahaha
He’s had a great game. That reverse layup past Wemby was sick.
“Very much trying spurs” feels weird lol. I mean yeah but also no Castle
My ROY going crazy against the greatest defender of all time
he has as many points at the half as the leading scorer in the hornets/pistons game lol (lamelo with 25)
I’m a fan of this kid!
when we have kyrie, peterson, lebron, and co next season, dont run!
Nicos dumbass might actually win this trade if the Lakers cant build a team for Luka to win with before he declines
Mavs still have to build a team around Cooper
50 piece tonight
How is this game not televised
Give nico his job back
If they start fouling to get more possessions he could have 84.

Not sure what your point is? Have you seen the Mavs roster outside of FLagg?
