And Flagg. That is a massive front line.

Makes no sense AD literally gained weight and lost mobility.
DLive + AD will not survive quick lineups in an 82 game season.
Doesnt help DLo loses his man every 5 seconds.

Dallas is deeeep. But I think it will become pretty clear very fast that their best lineups dont have AD at the 4. Flagg with PJ as the forwards with Lively or AD at C is just so much better

Mavs should be running, not standing around in half-court sets with Flagg. Its idiotic. Run baby run.

Flagg is guilty for stopping the ball a few times during transition.

AD looks heavy and stiff. He still has good verticality though. Did he hit a single jumper tonight?

Flagg is an interesting player, thats for damn sure. It looks like he should be running the show on the floor, like a point-forward, which changes the Mavs outlook considerably.

Why wouldn’t you want to root for the Mavs?

They have a talented team who can play lockdown defense and have some interesting playstyles.

They got him as part of the Luka trade. Definitely well deserved in that case.
So many people who attain the heights of power in this culture—celebrities, for instance—have to make a show of false humility and modesty, as if they got as far as they did by accident and not by ego or ambition.
