This was supposed to be a good destination for Flagg because the team already had a lot of talent and wouldn't put too much pressure on him. Then we run him out there way out of position and ask him to run the offense. I really don't think this is the best option for his development, let alone the team winning games.

Next game, bench Klay, start a point guard.

[Deebo]

This game is over. Just play real pg with Flagg. Sit ad and Klay

You just don´t understand basketball at the level that Nico and FGump do. They have outsmarted the whole league. People just got it wrong the last 60 years. Funny that the ghost of owner Cuban lives on. Still the smartest franchise in the room.

Don’t even get me started. That guys been acting like he’s the authority on basketball all summer with this 4 bigs lineup. I try not to respond to him.

OK I'm actually kinda scared

[Chicagojk]

Spurs offensive sets just so more crisp. Moving and cutting.

Mavs looks really robotic running theirs. Also settling for limited creation two point shots. Killer in today’s nba.

I don think you can start dlo and klay. Too slow. Start the lineup nut replace klay with Nehmhard. Or at least give it a lot of looks.

The entire NBA should be in fear. I’ve never seen anything like this going back to the 1970s. The hype is real. This is the most dominant game I’ve ever seen. If Wemby stays healthy, I’d put a wager on their title odds tonight. I wonder how much their odds changed as a result of this performance?

[HoosierDaddyKid]

Don't feel bad Dallas. Wemby is going to do this to everybody.

[Chicagojk]

This is an amazing Wemby performance. What is scary is they really don’t have the right team around him yet. With youth and some upgrades needed, I hope they don’t find these extra pieces because that will be scary.

[Mavs2021]

Don't feel bad Dallas. Wemby is going to do this to everybody.

Yeah especially since this is the best defensive team in the league. LOL.

You need to make Wemby a shooter. Nobody 7´6 can dribble himself into the paint against double teams. He´s taken only two threes. He´s still not a good shooter, but if you spread your vagina like a whore in Vegas, he´ll look like this.

[DallasMaverick]

Turns out it was Spurs defense that was the key.

[Chicagojk]

I dont know if I can make a whole season of AD taking isolation long twos. That can’t be the plan right?

[Deebo]

Spurs are nightmare matchup for us. We can’t beat them.

[HoosierDaddyKid]

40 and 15 and 0 turnovers. Pretty good night.

Yeah that's the #1 option

And they were missing Fox and Sochan.

I didn't let up on Kidd -- for a brilliant PG as a player, his offense as a coach has been dismal. Relied too much on Luka when he was here, relied too much on Kyrie when he took over. Mediocre at best as a coach. Now about the game -- the Mavs should be one of the teams that can theoretically slow down Wemby, they have the players that can -- but the coaching still needs adjustments, you can have the personnel to do it, but not have the idea on how to do it. And about Davis -- he needs to play more C than PF. Flagg as the PG was not a very good idea, I'd have him as emergency SG but his position should naturally be a small forward. Flagg would be good, not worried about him. The other rookie is good. Nembhard would and should get a lot of minutes

[Mavs2021]

Lowest points scored in opening game:

Mavs 92
Clippers 108

Assuming the Carlisle and Jokic led teams clear 100 tomorrow, Mavs will be the only team not to score 100 in opening game.
