Game 17: Pelicans at Mavs

[Mavs2021]

The dark cloud has been lifted and it seems the Flagg is being raised.

Perfectly fine with such a win. Just don´t change strategy. Still need to get the lottery pick. Flagg and a top 5 pick for the next decade.

The tank is put on hold for a night, but I'm okay with it when Coop is the one closing things out. Another awesome 4th quarter from him.

Meanwhile Klank Thompson hit the side of the backboard at least twice. He might be out of the league after collecting next year's paycheck.

[BigDirk41]

I’ve seen enough. Cooper is HIM! He’s going to be a star.

Yeah. Anyone doubting this kid is crazy. He's a kid kicking ass against grown men.

[FireNicoHarrison]

Every win with a good game by Flagg & Max is ok. Tank can wait for now.

Our offense is really putrid, Kidd is awful.

Where the morons on here that were calling Flagg a mid-roster ceiling player? What were LeBron James’ stat lines as an 18 year old?

Think we’re gonna need to prepare ourselves to draft in the 8-14 range, Cooper is gonna carry us to wins against the bottom teams.

I think so.  The Mavs are bad and it will be rough for them to win games.  Dec schedule looks pretty rough.  I just don’t think they are going to have 6-7 worst records center if they tried to play with 4 guys.  

As flawed as the roster is Flagg, pj, max lively is a start of a foundation.  It will improve when Ad is back and in shape.  Heck they are not far from playoff range.  If Flagg is as good as we think, they are going to win some games too.

Really impressive game for Flagg.  Slower start but I am glad he came out aggressive.  He still needs to get better handling the ball but he has been much better than I was expecting.  In time, he is going to be deadly when the Mavs can spread the floor and have him bully smaller or slower defenders.

Yeah, the 6-7 teams currently worse than them are on almost all time bad levels. So honestly playing it out and hoping for lottery luck is gonna have to be the strategy.

[FireNicoHarrison]

Some teams in this league are at G-league level, trash.

We are in the play in zone with all healthy but it's a no where place honestly, not good enough for a deep PO run and not bad enough for a top pick.

They have to made a choice.

[Reunion Mav]

This game was fun! If you recorded watch at least the 2nd half.
I agree if our injury situation improves by New Year’s Day, we could make the play in. Unless we have improved dramatically, just lose like last year.

For now, Flagg has improved to legitimate go to player status and some others are stepping up as well. They are pretty fun to watch except for the devastating number of turnovers. We need to see AD before anything big can happen. We also need to be patient and find our GM before trades happen. Vision before action.
For now, go young guys.

I guess I picked the wrong game to skip.
