Rick Carlisle approved.
A depressing season of Dallas Mavericks basketball has led to the team’s nascent search for a new general manager. The initial reports on that search are also depressing. Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix reported on Tuesday that the Mavericks had Oklahoma City Executive Vice President and GM Sam Presti, Boston Celtics president Brad Stevens and Minnesota […]
The art of tanking is nothing new for the NBA. Teams have been finding ways to lose games in an effort to improve their Draft position at least as far back as the early 1990s when the league implemented weighted odds favoring the worst teams. Prior to that, there was an outright coin flip between […]
The 2026 WNBA Draft is less than two weeks away. After a long, arduous battle between the league and the players’ association over a new collective bargaining agreement, a deal has been ratified and installed. Over the next few weeks, WNBA teams will be scrambling to construct their rosters through an unprecedented free agency and […]
The Dallas Mavericks (24-52) got ran off the floor by the Milwaukee Bucks (30-45) on Tuesday night, falling 123-99. Ryan Rollins led the Bucks with 24 points. Cooper Flagg was the high-point man for Dallas with 19, but it took 19 shots to get there. The sport of basketball was attempted between the Bucks and […]
The Dallas Mavericks (24-51) head back out on the road Tuesday night to face off against the Milwaukee Bucks (29-45). This one is a make up game following a cancellation due to weather earlier in 2026. Dallas is coming off a brutal beating of a loss against the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Bucks are stumbling down […]
While the Mavericks haven’t given much to dig into over the last several weeks through their play, the development of Cooper Flagg remains priority. Along with that priority is a focus from the organization on securing the Rookie of the Year award for Flagg. Head coach Jason Kidd spoke about it pregame recently: There’s been […]
The Dallas Mavericks (24-51) will make a quick trip north to face the Milwaukee Bucks (29-45) for a makeup game that was originally scheduled for January 25. Due to a winter storm that left the Mavericks stranded on the runway for several hours, the game was suspended and eventually moved to March 31. The matchup […]
The Dallas Mavericks kicked off the first game of a back-to-back Monday night, with their first opponent being the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Wolves got the better end of a 124-94 decision. Let’s get to the grades! Ryan Nembhard: C+ 8 PTS / 3 REB / 5 AST / 0 STL / 0 BLK – 20 […]
The Dallas Mavericks continued their slide Monday night, getting blown out at home in a 124-94 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a game that got out of hand early and never recovered. Dallas showed brief flashes on offense, but Minnesota’s size, ball movement, and physicality quickly took over, controlling the flow throughout. Daniel Gafford […]
The Dallas Mavericks got blown out at home Monday night, losing 124-94 to the Minnesota Timberwolves in Dallas. Cooper Flagg had a game to forget, as he couldn’t buy a bucket for the entire game. But it wasn’t just him that struggled. Almost every Mavericks was off, besides Brandon Williams. The Mavericks were soundly outplayed […]
The Dallas Mavericks (24-50) are back at home to start the week, hosting the Minnesota Timberwolves (45-29) on Monday night. The Mavericks are riding high after beating a hapless Portland Trail Blazers team on Friday night and have had two days to rest. The Timberwolves were shelled by the Detroit Pistons on Saturday night, losing […]
The Mavericks will play the Timberwolves for the fourth and final time Monday night. At the time of writing, Anthony Edwards is questionable to make his return for Minnesota after missing the better part of two weeks. The Mavericks have not been able to hold their own with the Timberwolves thus far, but as we […]
The Dallas Mavericks might be playing with lottery fire. Every few games they have a key result that risks their positioning in a bottlenecked cluster in the top ten. Last week it was a win against the Portland Trail Blazers on a night those around them lost. We should take a moment and pause — […]
The Dallas Mavericks (24-50, 14-23 Home) have lost 12 consecutive games at American Airlines Center, the longest home losing streak the franchise has seen since the 1993-94 season. Monday night they host the Minnesota Timberwolves (45-29, 20-15 Away), who arrive shorthanded in ways that matter—Anthony Edwards is listed as questionable with right knee inflammation, and while the […]
The Dallas Mavericks travelled to the northwest to take on the Portland Trailblazers Friday night. The Mavs have officially been eliminated from Playoff contention, while the Blazers have clinched a spot in at least the Play In tournament. Despite having nothing to play for, Dallas got the 100-93 win. Let’s get to the grades! Cooper […]
Basketball continues, whether we want it to or not. That’s the lesson of March and April. There’s still plenty of hoops ahead, not to mention awards, then playoffs. If you’re looking to make any moves, there’s still plenty of things to hold your interest over at FanDual. One of those things might be the NBA […]
The Dallas Mavericks picked up a rousing 100-93 win against the Portland Trail Blazers. Cooper Flagg and Marvin Bagley had monster games for the Mavericks, while Portland had one of the worst offensive games of a team in the last decade. Not overexaggerating! This was a rock fight from the start, although Dallas did extend […]
No one wanted to win Friday’s game between the visiting Dallas Mavericks (24-50) Portland Trail Blazers (37-38) at Moda Center, but eventually someone had to. The Mavericks pulled the unlikely 100-93 win out of their hat amidst 16 combined fourth-quarter turnovers as the game got sloppier and sloppier down the stretch. Cooper Flagg had 24 […]
The Dallas Mavericks (23-50) remain on the road Friday night to take on the Portland Trailblazers (37-37). The Mavericks have lost five in a row again, most recently to the Denver Nuggets who crushed them from three. Portland has won five of thier last six and a win against Dallas would put them back up […]
It’s just past noon here at the desk, the post breakfast Häagen-Dazs Coffee Almond Toffee is open. As unhealthy as that may seem, my only defense is that I am juggling quite a bit right now and sometimes ice cream is the only thing that sounds like it might turn the day sweet for a […]
It was a big Thursday night in the Men’s NCAA Basketball Tournament, as many of the NBA Draft’s elite prospects were on display against one another. It was a consequential day for me, as I definitely did some shuffling on the personal board after the games concluded Thursday night. Here’s a rundown of the main […]
Sometimes, it just takes one little thing for the puzzle pieces to fall into place and provide a little peace of mind. It was seeing Khris Middleton coaching Cooper Flagg earlier this week that did it for me. Now finally we can call it a season with peace of mind, was the thought that popped […]
The Dallas Mavericks (23-50) will play the Portland Trailblazers (37-37) 9pm Friday at Moda Center. Both clubs last played Wednesday, with Portland extending its win streak to two against the Bucks 130-99, behind guard Scoot Henderson’s 23 points; and the Mavericks losing 142-135 against the Nuggets in Denver, their fifth straight setback. They were led […]
The second weekend of this NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament is shaping up to be an all-timer. When you look around Thursday night, perhaps the two most interesting games of the entire Sweet 16 will be tipping off within 30 minutes of each other. My colleague Jordan did a fantastic job breaking down the matchup between […]
While the Mavericks navigate their way through the final games of the season, positioning themselves for the draft lottery, all eyes will be on the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16. And lucky for us we’re not just getting solid teams facing off against one another, but premium head-to-head matchups against top draft talent. The two late […]
