Latest news and updates about the Mavericks

It’s not that they look very much alike. Or come from the same continent or culture. Or were raised in the same basketball tradition. Or play the same position. Or arrived to the league with similar accomplishments. Cooper Flagg of the Dallas Mavericks and Luka Doncic of the Los Angeles Lakers are two very different […]

The Dallas Mavericks (12-23) looked lost Thursday in a 123-108 loss to the Philadelphia 76ers (18-14) at American Airlines Center. The offense was sluggish. The defense was porous. No one in blue could stay in front of Garland’s own Tyrese Maxey or rookie VJ Edgecombe, and Joel Embiid reaped some of the benefits of a […]

The Portland Trail Blazers went 2-2 this week with losses to the Orlando Magic and Los Angeles Clippers to start, then wins over the Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks to close it out.

For the Portland Trail Blazers, late-game thrillers are becoming just another day at the office. No matter the size of the lead/deficit at halftime. Or the quality of the opponent. Or who’s suiting up for Portland’s MASH unit. Blazers games this season seem to always end the same way: a one-to-two possession battle in the […]

The Mavericks were 1-3 this past week and fell to 12th place in the West.

With each new injury pointing to Anthony Davis’ inability to affect winning in a Dallas Mavericks uniform, the consensus view, at least among fans, that it’s time to move on, solidifies. Nico Harrison, the primary advocate for bringing Davis to town in exchange for a much younger and much better player, is long gone. Few, […]

There are too many Anthony Davis trade rumors. We decided to talk about the whole situation. The question posed was simple: How should the Mavs approach trading or not trading Anthony Davis? State your reasons! Matt: AD needs to be traded. Period. The concept of “seeing Davis, Kyrie and Flagg play together” is a fantasy […]

As the Dallas Mavericks currently sit on a 12-22 record at the end of the year, good enough for 12th place in the Western Conference, it somehow feels believable that they will be one of the better teams in the west next season, and/or at least certainly for the foreseeable future. Cooper Flagg is better […]

The Portland Trail Blazers faced a mixed set of circumstances on Monday night as they welcomed the Dallas Mavericks to the Moda Center. Coming into the game with 12 wins and 21 losses, Dallas was hardly a powerhouse, particularly lacking center Anthony Davis. But the Blazers were coming off an emotional win just 24 hours […]
