Kyrie Irving and the Five Februarys

The NBA recently found itself arguing with a medical journal, and the league office doesn’t usually bother punching down at a sample size of nineteen unless something in the findings stings. The paper, published late last month in the Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, examined nineteen NBA players who ruptured an Achilles tendon over the […]

Hello all, sorry for the delay in new lounge posts. My kids are in the final days of summer and between them and the two puppies, my life is unbridled chaos at all times. Here’s the last lounge thread in case you want to continue any debates. As far as the summer… well we don’t […]

The Spanish connection. How Sergio De Larrea and Santi Aldama could hit the ground running in Dallas

The two new Spanish Mavericks, rookie Sergio De Larrea and recently traded from the Memphis Grizzlies, stretch-big Santi Aldama, may not need a lot of minutes together before making a real impact for the Dallas Mavericks this season.  They already played a lot of minutes together during FIBA EuroBasket 2025, and during the preparation stage […]

Vsevolod Ishchenko was the #56 pick in the NBA Draft this past June, selected by the Chicago Bulls.

How the Dallas Mavericks depth-chart shakes out 2 months from training camp

The Dallas Mavericks have made a multitude of changes so far this offseason with much of the roster being reformed. With a roster full of tall, versatile players, it makes slotting players into defined positions very difficult. I have slotted players based on their offensive roles and responsibilities rather than what they would traditionally play […]

Eighteen months ago, it was hard to imagine Dallas Mavericks fans feeling genuinely optimistic about the future.

The baffling decision […]

The Mavericks need new jerseys, and now is the perfect time to unveil them

The Indiana Pacers just unveiled their new “statement” jerseys for the 2026-27 season. For anyone who has not kept up with the naming conventions Nike introduced a decade ago, the old “home”, “away”, and “alternate” jerseys are now called “association”, “icon”, and “statement”.
