The Dallas Mavericks (12-23) entered Saturday night’s game against the Houston Rockets (21-11) on a four-game losing streak, but found a way to get a second-straight big win over their rival to the South, 110-104. The game got off to a painfully slow start, with Rockets center Alperen Sengun rolling his ankle a minute in, […]
The Dallas Mavericks (12-23) host the Houston Rockets (21-10) on Saturday night. The Mavericks are riding a four game losing streak straight towards the dregs of the Western conference, most recently receiving belt to behind by the Philadelphia 76ers in a home game Thursday. The Rockets pummeled the Brooklyn Nets on New Year’s Day and […]

Happy New Year! I hope 2026 has started as well for you as it did for the Philadelphia 76ers, who had one of their finer performances of the season in taking down the Dallas Mavericks, 123-108, on New Year’s Day. Now, the Sixers will head back up to Madison Square Garden to face the New […]
The Dallas Mavericks have been in 26 clutch games this season, which leads the NBA. Dallas is 10-16 in those games and haven’t scored particularly effectively in those games. But they have played good defense to help them in those situations. The Houston Rockets, meanwhile, have only played in 14 such games. They are 6-8 […]
The Dallas Mavericks (12-23) are in a bad way as the Houston Rockets (21-10) roll into town Saturday for what appears to be a scheduled blowout at American Airlines Center. The Mavericks are as healthy as they’re going to get at this point, missing just Kyrie Irving, whose rehab from knee injury that ended his […]
The hype continues to build in the rookie campaign of VJ Edgecombe. The third-overall pick in last summer’s NBA Draft, Edgecombe has dazzled this past week. He nailed a game-winning overtime three-pointer in a win in Memphis on Tuesday and followed it up with 23 points and five stocks in a victory over 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, losers of three straight, kicked off 2026 by hosting the 76ers on Thursday night. Looking to draw even in their season series with Philadelphia, Dallas instead extended their overall losing streak with a 123-108 loss. Let’s get to the grades! Ryan Nembhard: C 9 PTS / 2 REB / 3 AST / […]
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 Dallas Mavericks fell to the Philadelphia 76ers on Thursday night, 123-108. Tyrese Maxey once again roasted Dallas, scoring 34 points to go along with eight rebounds and 10 assists. Max Christie was the high point man for Dallas with 18. The Mavericks attacked the paint early and often in the opening quarter, which paid […]
A win to kill all agenda wars, how nice. The Sixers knocked off the Dallas Mavericks 123-108 Thursday night. Tyrese Maxey had another exciting homecoming, leading all scorers with 34 points with 10 assists and eight rebounds going 14-of-24 from the floor. VJ Edgecombe shot 9-of-14 to go for 23 points, five rebounds, two assists […]

The Dallas Mavericks (12-22) host the Philadelphia 76ers (17-14) Thursday evening in a match up on New Years Day. The Mavericks are coming off a few days of rest following an annoying loss to the Blazers in Portland where they got down huge early and couldn’t claw all the way back in. The Sixers played […]
Happy New Year, Liberty Ballers community! We hope everyone is safe and healthy and ready to have a great 2026. Your Philadelphia 76ers will begin the year in Dallas, taking on the Mavericks, a matchup that features two of the most exciting rookies in the NBA in Cooper Flagg and VJ Edgecombe. The Mavericks have […]
The Dallas Mavericks (12-22) have returned home from their recent winless road trip for a New Years Day bout with the Philadelphia 76ers (17-14). Dallas, who has struggled mightily on the road this season, managed to lose to the Warriors, Kings and Blazers while on their California trip. In fairness, who amongst us hasn’t lost […]
The Golden State Warriors have been mentioned as one of the teams that have expressed interest in a potential trade for Dallas Mavericks’ big man Anthony Davis. Now, however, at least one report has surfaced that says it was the Mavericks’ front office that initially reached out to Golden State seeking a trade partner to […]
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. There were a number of standout performances this week, but rookie guard Caleb Love takes home the Blazer of the Week honor […]
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. They beat Denver (131-130) in a nationally televised thriller, then dropped three straight to Golden State (126-116), Sacramento (113-107), and Portland (125-122). Cooper Flagg led the team in scoring this past week with 24.5 points per game. Kyrie Irving (knee) […]
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 Dallas Mavericks are stumbling, particularly on the road where they faced the Portland Trail Blazers on Monday night. The Mavs could not reverse their fortunes away from home, losing 125-122. We’ll dive a little deeper than usual for our assessments, for those of you who didn’t get to stay up to the wee hours […]
