It does seem that way, because in the past few games Flagg’s stats have been getting better and the good thing is they’re actually winning. So this young guy is now looking like the face of the team, the new star. Honestly, I thought his chances for ROY already dropped a lot because of his rough start, but now that he’s been given the green light like you said, it’s expected his numbers will keep improving.

Has anyone here bet on him to win ROY? Or is the market still open in the sportsbooks right now?

Agree on this, Mavs is too hopeless with their current injury prone roster. They can’t rely much to AD since he is struggling even just to complete half of the regular games while Irving might come back from injury next year January to February as per report.

Cooper Flagg is still developing on NBA caliber games while the rest of the Mavs is very inconsistent. I doubt they can go too in the play-in.

They probably give this year and just focus on Cooper development for the next season.

Hahaha. It’s just I’m one of those supporter that too hype with their roster during the Cooper Flagg draft but in reality it’s all useless if all the key players are injured.

Max Christie should be the one to step up but he is so inconsistent when he has the chance to show off.

They won today because they are against the weakest team on the NBA right now.

Yeah, let’s hope for that. But the good news is the Mavs actually have a better record than the Clippers right now.

Both teams are supposed to be playoff teams, but they’re struggling big time this season.

At this point, I think the Warriors need to move on from Steve Kerr. Yes, he has won them a lot but I personally don't think his small ball philosophy is effective any longer. Who else thinks otherwise?

Edward also missed 2 free throws within that period. They lost concentration at the end.

Fans hate them for doing that to Luka and if they'll going to repeat that same mistake to Cooper I guess they won't see or feel any support from thier fans, though Niko was replacecd I hope the managements already learned about that mistake letting Luka go instead of giving him the max conract they almost win a title before Brunson  was traded and with Kyrie they start getting along just need one more season and if they keep him and renew another contract with that super max they might be a good contender for the ring again, moving forward let see if what's going to happen before the trading deadline if they'll be trading their players to support Cooper.

He was part of the one of the biggest decisions in the history of the nba. In 2011, the Los Angeles Lakers almost traded for Chris Paul. However, then-NBA commissioner David Stern, acting as the Hornets' owner, vetoed the deal. I think this was extremely f'd up. That deal was ok to become a reality. We saw crazier deals after that. Maybe in 2011 it was little bit unusual but so many crazier deals happened since. When some mentions Chris Paul, I always remember that deal.

Suns are good now but it is extremely hard for them to get the title IMO.

It is true that Sengun had a bad game, but it happens to everyone, even the best players have bad days and we just need to move on from that. If Alperen gets upset and focuses and gets stuck on this game then he is going to have a few bad games in a row, he needs to learn to forget.

There was even a commercial about NBA players having a 30 second memory, and the joke was Pippen said he was the best Chicago Bulls player ever, why does that matter? Because all players, Jordan, Kobe, Lebron all have bad days, you gotta move on and be better next time. Rockets are so great that even on a game Sengun played not so good, they still lost by only three points, imagine if Sengun played like he always does, they would have won very easily.

Edwards need to be investigated lol. That was a huge choke but I think it's kudos to the Suns defense, those guys are a pests tbh. If you see the game of Edwards and Randle those are lame plays with them, it was a mismatched now that Booker was fouled out yet they choke in the last moment, much more it was a NBA Cup, they should have done more.
