I also want to talk about Max Christie.

I want to talk about Caleb Martin.

I want to talk about some of the things we didn't get to in the postgame show because there's a lot of things that happened to this MAPS win against the Raptors. But let's talk about this Cooper Flag Dunk because it's this poster dunk that's going to be seen everywhere. It's going to be the one that's shared on every single platform.

All the platforms are shared, bleach report, ESPN, all of them.

Every single account is going to share the one that's shared on every single platform. All the platforms are shared, Bleach Report, ESPN, all of them.

Every single account is going to share this Cooper Flagg dunk. And it happened. Lively gets a rebound. He throws it, he outlets it to DeAngel Russell, who's in the middle of the floor, and DeAngel Russell was a big catalyst and the reason why this Mavericks game went so different in the first two Mavericks games because he actually made some plays dribbled the ball was a threat in the open court and all that we broke all that down in the post game show but DeAngel Russell kicks it forward because he's always looking up he gets the ball and I saw this I made a note that he always is looking up when he gets the ball which I think is such a small thing I think that they teach you in like those like elementary school basketball camps that we all used to go to. But he was looking. He had his head up while he was dribbling. He saw Cooper Flag, kicked it ahead to Cooper Flag. Cooper Flag runs up. Tomahawk dunks it on Sandrew, Madamekajvili. I did not pronounce that as well as Mark Fowlewell would.

But then the crowd popped.

And it was the loudest I've heard this American Airlines crowd since the season has started.

And there has not been a lot to cheer for so far in this season after the first two games.

The Mavs did get a win and the Mavs fans did cheer like it was a playoff win after this game when they got this win.

But the pop when Cooper Flaug got that dunk was so notable to me that I want to talk about it. Because I think that there is this thing with Cooper Flagg that I have not seen Mavericks fans fully embrace him yet. You listening may have not fully embraced Cooper Flagg yet. I still get comments all the time. People have come up and talk to me and are saying, yeah, like, is he really that good? Like, is he really worth all the hype? Is he really? We just lost Luca. And like, I don't know, you're basically trying to decide if he can replace your ex, right? You're trying to decide if he can replace what you lost. Like, you lost something very important to you. Cooper flag is like the new puppy you get after your dog leaves or passes away or

I don't know. I guess Luca's not a dog that pass away. But it is, it's a thing. Like,

Mab fans are grieving. You were probably still in the grieving process. So many Mab fans that have talked to me are still in that process of like, I can't give it up. There's a Mavs fan that came up to me today I had a Luca Lakers 77 jersey on he's still in the grieving process and they still

haven't fully accepted Cooper Flag.

Like when Cooper Flagg gets introduced in the starting lineup,
