Game Thread Spurs (34-16) @ Mavs (19-31) (Thu 2/05/26) [7:30 PM CST]

[Ni-G]

On the one side it's good that guys get to play more meaningful clatch minutes, on the other it's unnecessary wear and tear plus some of those games are ending with lost Ws as not always they're getting dub. But holy shit, this team is frustrating to watch too often even more than last years. Especially when playing crappy teams.

Hats off to Cooper Flagg what a performance. Played with great intensity and he was hitting every shot it felt like. Really put a lot of pressure on the Spurs. Flagg is going to be a problem for the league.

He's gonna be good for a long time.

Man, one ping-pong ball away...

We were one lottery number away from also having Flagg, tbh.

Love DH, but can you imagine? We'd have a shot to ring this season with him.

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

They'll tell you Flagg scored 32 to Wemby's 29... except it took Flagg 27 shots to Wemby's 14.

There's levels to this.

Flagg is good but he's getting his points because Dallas is in the same direction SA was when Vic was a rook, and even then Vic very rarely played (or was allowed to play) the same amount of minutes.
Flagg's only edge over rookie Vic appears to be his attack mindset. Vic just seems to fluctuate too much between alpha and beta to my liking.

 

[LeBowen]

Love DH, but can you imagine? We'd have a shot to ring this season with him.

One number away from having both #1 and #2, not just #1.

 

[ginobilized]

We have officially surpassed last season's win total. Playoff bound more than likely, but, we could pivot and tank too. Best of both worlds.

 

[WembyFan]

We're we close to the actual numbers to get the number 1?

 

[Ocotillo]

Really need another 5 if Biyombo and KO are unplayable.

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

Love DH, but can you imagine? We'd have a shot to ring this season with him.

Nah. Still prefer Harper, even if Flagg appears to fill much of the team's needs this season.
Can't really gauge Harp's full impact yet considering he barely plays over 20 minutes and comes off the bench.

 

[WembyFan]

We're pretty much guaranteed to make the playoffs, we've played the best and have had a decent record against them.

 

[Davidicus]

Devin’s defense is actually…good? Felt like he was the only one who could stay in front of a Maverick. Some amazing efforts in the 4th.

Return of the Unc

Flagg is good. But he still looks like he’s dressed as a pirate for Halloween.

I wish Mitch would yell at our players more. Some really bone-headed sequences.

We are not tanking and truely last couple of weeks got me more excited…

Team is trying to figure out what’s working and whats not and still getting wins

 

[Correct Crusader]

lmaooo every BB member would feel guilty if they actually meant half the stuff they said. We're just talking over here and venting most of the time.

There should be no judgement about what is said during games. We're all huge fans of this franchise and the players. We all get caught up in the moment

 

[Spurs Homer]

Loving this team….need 3 straight wins to go into the all star break on a nice roll and confident that they can make a strong playoff run.

Stay the course.

 

[WembyFan]

Nah. Still prefer Harper, even if Flagg appears to fill much of the team's needs this season.

Nah this is crazy talk, Harper is good but he's no Cooper Flagg.

 

[LeBowen]

We're we close to the actual numbers to get the number 1?

Yes, just the last number in the lottery combination and we would've had both Flagg and Harper.

 

[WembyFan]

Wemby hardly ever does the handshake thing

lol it'd be wild if he preferred the kiss on the cheek thing that those euros do.

 

[Wemby_Island]

Fox made couple of 3’s, but easily had worst game…

Come on man…

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

Nah this is crazy talk, Harper is good but he's no Cooper Flagg.

I maintain that only time will tell. People talking as if Flagg is a given GOAT. I will never get that.

 

[DAF86]

They'll tell you Flagg scored 32 to Wemby's 29... except it took Flagg 27 shots to Wemby's 14.

There's levels to this.

Wemby going 9-14 in game the Spurs didn't win in a blowout should never happen, tbh.

I don't know if it's coaching, if it's his teammates, or if Wemby has problems getting shots off sometimes, but this is something that needs to be adressed. Far too many times in these 3 season we have seen Wemby just doing cardio barely being seen on the offensive end of the floor.

 

[heyheymymy]

I'm not say Harper is superior to Flagg, and yeah positionally it would've worked out better to get Flagg, but there is something special about Harper and I don't think I would swap situations even if I could.

 

[Rafa]

Yes, just the last number in the lottery combination and we would've had both Flagg and Harper.

You’ll sleep better if you don’t think about this

 

[sKiN20]

Wemby should’ve scored 40-50pts if shoot more. Great win though

 

[Kick-Stand]

Love DH, but can you imagine? We would ring this season with him.

FIFY

 

[LeBowen]

You’ll sleep better if you don’t think about this

I'm fine with us not getting him, it's just that the Mavs had no business being bailed out with 1% odds.
