This should be like a 4 or 5 point game. Refs gifted Duke this game.

Duke has got to do something to do something about the momentum because it really feels like Arizona is getting stronger and stronger down the stretch.

 

[Guess Who]

100% agree plus I don’t know if he really got the athleticism

Yeah I wonder how he’s gonna do against NBA size and athleticism. It’ll be an adjustment.

My comp for Flagg in the NBA would be a more mobile Jokic. No, he wont be the best athlete in the league, but he has good size, decent shooting, and very good passing for a 6-9 dude. Plus, he doesnt seem selfish, which would be very helpful for whatever team he is on, if they also have great shooters already. He seems to be a very good plug and play piece for any team in the NBA

I don't agree with Jon Scheyer leaving Maliq Brown on the bench all second half.

 

[Guess Who]

Arizona has figured out Duke but it’ll be too late. Running a lot of empty side pnr.

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

This is bad coaching. I think Arizona is going to get Malauch out of the game. Brown has got to get back in the game here.

 

[charknicks]

That is on the refs, not Duke.

Its on the refs calling for/against Duke, so its on Duke.

It was the same exact play, pulling down the opp player. Zero difference, except it was a Duke player who pulled down, and no flagrant call.

He just back from injury. I get it. We gonna need him going forward.

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Flagg just spiked that shot

We gotta get out of this game first.

Agree with the assessment of attributes but he won’t have near the impact of Jokic. As much as Jokic is known for his facilitating, that only works because he’s a hyper efficient scorer when guarded one on one. I’m not sure Cooper is there yet.

Flagg will give you more in other areas though. Namely defence.

 

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

Im telling you.....this is going down to the wire. Horrible coaching by Jon Scheyer.

We good.
