Maybe it was the bad juju of Nico Harrison leaving the American Airlines Center, but it seems like Cooper Flagg has been an absolute beast the past 3 games.

He's averaging 19.3ppg, 6.7 rebounds, 3.3 assists on 54% shooting since Nico left the building. He's 18 years old!

It wasn't fair that Cooper came into a franchise literally dying because some idiot traded it's life spirit away. The fans booing, and chanting "Fire Nico!!!" every home game this season probably did a number on his confidence and motivation as a rookie coming into the league with extremely high expectations.

I dare say, the past 3 games, it's become very apparent that Cooper is a special player who is taking the baby steps to become the leader of this team and willing to take the big shots during crunch time and I am extremely excited to see where this guy's career goes. With Nico gone, I am no longer afraid Flagg will be traded away for some washed up veteran and a bag of cheetos, this guy is here to stay.

I miss the Luka-era dearly, but I am very optimistic about the Flagg-era. Can't wait to see him play this month and next month in person!

  3. Yall please dont downvote but Flagg needs to get rid of the tshirt under the jersey combo 🫩 Mfer needs to let them broad shoulders shine.

  7. Everything you said is true and look how the 18 year old has handled all of it.

    Flagg being a closer, and a good one at that, 14 games into his career won’t be talked about enough. This is fucking wild what we are watching from an 18 year old at the end of these games.

    Unfazed, just going to work, playing the game the right way and delivering. All these haters out there can eat a dick cause Flagg is going to be dominant on ends of the floor in the league at some point in the near future.
