Told yall about Flagg. nikkas thought I was hating. Nope. He ain’t there as an iso scorer yet. I don’t think he scored on one iso possession tonight. No I think he had that lefty finish that was nice. But that’s it. He needs work as a scorer.
lol we been trying to tell them he’s good but he not what they make him to be yet

We tend to forget these kids are not finished products

My comp for Flagg is Kawhi. Kawhi averaged 12 a game and shot 20% from 3 as a freshman. He’s now a career 39% and automatic middy

Flagg’s shooting splits 48/37/83 are that of a future 3pt specialist. He’s got that on a 6’9 powerful athlete frame. He’s gonna be just fine
He ain’t that but he’ll be a good pro. He’ll make a team better immediately

Duke was up 9 with 2:25 to go. Houston missed 2 shots but got 2 offensive rebounds, then scored.

If Duke just boxes out and gets 1 of those boards the game is probably over right there.

It’s a coach in every city rubbing his hands like Birdman ready to show that. Devil is in the details coaches don’t be lying :sadcam:

This was straight up on Scheyer, IDK he was thinking plenty of time to run a quick play or set...Not to mention leaving Proctor out there...

Whatever the case the will of Houston was impeccable....I already saw them beating Florida even more so now with this type of epic momentum..We'll see though it should be a dope game...

I can’t say the game is absolutely over with how Duke pissed on themselves but considering score and situation, Duke probably ices it on the play where the breh dribbled it out and bricked a 3. They get that rebound instead of a putback and you’re shooting FTs in a 3 pt game with like 20 seconds left iirc

I heard Scheyer specifically built the roster to not have a PG and let Flagg grow as the offensive hub. I don’t think you can do that with a guy who can’t initiate

At least a couple losses of theirs would’ve gone a different way if a league avg PG just had Flagg come set a screen and Flagg can manipulate the defense as a roller, not as a creator
He got the potential to be able to do it. He's definitely more of a transition player like Jalen Johnson. His half court offense is wip. He's way better than Jalen at this stage though

Houston knows how to win. It was always going to be advantage Houston in a close game

This is on Jon Scheyer, Sion James and Tyrese Proctor. I'm done. I've watched a lot of losses. 2004, 2011, 2018. 2019 and 2022. Those teams were good but flawed. This team was not flawed. There is no excuse for this loss. I'm absolutely done and I do not fukking care what happens Monday
