The Mavs Proved Something Huge Without Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving Against the Pacers

The Dallas Mavericks beat the Indiana Pacers 121-105 for their first win of the NBA season, even after Cooper Flagg left with a left shoulder injury and Kyrie Irving fouled out for the first time in his career. How did the Mavs role players hold off the Pacers, and how worried should Dallas be about Cooper Flagg’s shoulder? Nick Angstadt is joined by Isaac Harris and Slightly Biased to break down Aaron Nesmith’s hard foul on Cooper Flagg, Naji Marshall’s leadership, and Kyrie Irving’s aggressive start. They dig into big nights from PJ Washington, Morez Johnson Jr., Max Christie, and Zaccharie Risacher, and how Daniel Gafford and Marcus Sasser fit into a Dusty May offense that piled up 28 assists. Plus, Dusty May’s first-win water bucket celebration in the locker room, with Mavs Team President Masai Ujiri on hand.         Raccoon Squad Merch Store 🧢 https://raccoonsquad.myapparel.ink/     Join the Everydayer Club (Text Line): Be a Locked On Mavs Insider to support the show and get texts from Nick & Isaac on every Mavs Rumors, News Updates, Game Previews, Q&As, & More… 📲 https://lockedonmavericks.supercast.com/     📸 PHOTO: Imagn Images     **Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…**  📺 Locked On Mavericks YouTube Channel 🎧 Locked On Mavericks Podcast Platforms     📲 **Follow Locked On Mavs on Socials** \- Locked On Mavs Twitter @LockedOnMavs \- Locked On Mavs Instagram LockedOnMavs   \- Nick Angstadt Twitter @NickVanExit \- Nick Angstadt TikTok NickVanExit \- Nick Angstadt Instagram @NickVanExit   \- Isaac Harris Twitter @IsaacLHarris \- Isaac Harris Instagram @IsaacLHarris\_     **Locked On NBA** League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft, WNBA & More 🎧 https://lockedonpodcasts.com/leagues/nba     📢 **Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! |** Offers from our sponsors: lockedonpodcasts.com/offers   **Square** Get up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at https://square.com/go/NBA ! #squarepod   **KALSHI** Today's episode is brought to you by Kalshi.
