Tuesday marks the start of one of the most competitive conference tournaments in the country, the Big 12. For my money, the best conference in college basketball will feature some of the best teams and NBA Draft talent in the country. The bracket can be found below. As for the players you should be keeping […]
The ACC Tournament has lost a bit of luster after North Carolina’s freshman phenom Caleb Wilson broke his thumb, ending his campaign. However, this league will still be entertaining from Tuesday all the way through the end of the season. The spotlight will be immense on Cam Boozer at Duke, but this league has far […]
The Mavericks were 0-3 this past week and remain in 12th place in the West. They lost three road games to Orlando (115-114), Boston (120-100), and Toronto (122-92). Cooper Flagg (foot) returned and led the team in scoring with 17 points per game. Marvin Bagley (neck) also made his return. Grade: C The Mavericks have […]
Timing is important in the NBA. Teams that are and aren’t playoff-bound are fairly easy to discern after about 20 to 30 regular-season games. Who is and isn’t a contender is also largely well known by about the same point. There’s jostling for seeding and homecourt advantage, but what’s important for teams looking to make […]
The Mavericks got smoked Sunday night again, losing 122-92 to the Toronto Raptors. The Mavericks were led by Cooper Flaggs ‘ 17-point, eight-rebound, six-assist, one-turnover game, and a dominant 21 and 10 rebound double-double by Daniel Gafford on 10-for-10 shooting. The Raptors pulled the Mavericks apart, with eight of their players finishing with double digits. […]
The Dallas Mavericks (21-43) continued the northeastern portion of their current road swing on Sunday against the Toronto Raptors (36-27). Coming in having lost 16 of their last 18 games, the Mavs dropped yet another with a 122-92 loss. The game started with the Raptors missing a 3-point attempt, only for Brandon Ingram to grab […]
The Dallas Mavericks (21-42) start the second half of this road trip, playing the Toronto Raptors (35-27) on Sunday afternoon at the odd start time of 5:00 pm CST. Toss in the start of Daylight Savings Time and I expect both teams to be out of sorts. Dallas is riding a six-game losing streak, falling […]
The Dallas Mavericks (21-42) have lost 16 of their last 18. The Toronto Raptors (35-27) have dropped four of their last five. Something’s got to give on Sunday when two teams heading in the same direction but on very different trajectories meet on Sunday at Scotiabank Arena. Tipoff is scheduled for 5 p.m. The Raptors […]
The NBA season is still trudging on and for those of us who are fans of teams that aren’t in the playoffs, these games can be a bit of a slog. But you have more than one option available if you still want to follow the league. First, you can bet games and player props […]
The Dallas Mavericks (21-42) played the Boston Celtics (42-21) on Friday, losing 120-100 at TD Garden. The game was a dual return of sorts, with Cooper Flagg coming back (near) home and Jason Tatum making his season debut after 298 days on the shelf following an Achilles injury last season. The first half was close, […]
The Dallas Mavericks (21-42) lost to the Boston Celtics (42-21) on Friday, 120-100.

Before the game, the ESPN broadcast had a great […]
The Dallas Mavericks (21-41) play their third road game in four nights, this time visiting the Boston Celtics (41-21). Dallas lost a painful one to the Orlando Magic on Thursday, falling on a last-second scramble where they gave up a dunk to seal the game. Boston got drubbed by the streaking Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday, […]
Great news for the Dallas Mavericks this week as Cooper Flagg has returned to the lineup after being sidelined since before the all-star break. That’s even better news for Mavericks fans’ eyeballs — the recent stretch without Flagg was growing increasingly straining to watch. The focus and ultimate priority for the final 20 games of […]
The Dallas Mavericks (21-41) head to the Garden Friday evening to square off against the near-league-leading Boston Celtics (41-21). It’s a quick turnaround after Thursday night’s game in Orlando, in which the Mavericks literally fumbled the win off an ugly inbounds pass with 1.4 seconds to go. On this second night of a back-to-back, Dallas […]

The return of Cooper Flagg netted an all too familiar feeling for Mavericks fans; another clutch loss. The Mavericks fought hard all night, but as usual were unable to execute in the clutch, leading to the Magic stealing an improbable win. Without further ado… let’s grade the Mavericks Cooper Flagg: A 18 PTS / 5 […]
The Mavericks fought valiantly in Orlando before dropping a tough 115-114 loss to the Magic Thursday night. Dallas opened the game with strong early energy, jumping ahead behind a Khris Middleton pull-up three and quick interior activity from Daniel Gafford and Cooper Flagg. Flagg added a putback and set up Max Christie for a three, […]
After leading for the entire first half on Thursday, the Dallas Mavericks (21-41) pulled a 115-114 defeat from the teeth of victory against the Orlando Magic (33-28) at Kia Center. But proclaim the good news of the day from the hilltops, Mavericks fans, for Cooper Flagg is back. Basketball joy is once again an option. […]
The Dallas Mavericks (21-40) are on the road for the second game in their six-game road trip. On Thursday night they play the Orlando Magic (32-28) in the first night of a road back-to-back. The Mavericks were most recently waxed by the Charlotte Hornets on Tuesday. The Magic beat the Washington Wizards on Tuesday to […]
The Dallas Mavericks have been without Cooper Flagg for eight-straight games, making for some lousy viewing experiences of late. There is a good chance Flagg returns for tonight’s tip-off against the Orlando Magic, but that’s not the only reason you should be interested in seeing how this one plays out. On Wednesday, we took a […]
The Dallas Mavericks (21-40, 7-20 Away) continue their road trip with a Wednesday night matchup against the Orlando Magic (32-28, 18-11 Home) at 6:00 PM CST. Cooper Flagg is back in the lineup after missing eight games with a foot injury, but the cavalry isn’t riding in with him. Marvin Bagley is out. Klay Thompson, Naji Marshall, […]
Arike Ogunbowale and Li Yueru, both members of the Dallas Wings last season, were part of the Mist BC team that took home a championship in the offseason 3-on-3 Unrivaled Basketball League after Wednesday’s 80-74 win over Phantom in the championship game. Breanna Stewart led Mist with 32 points in the win, while Ogunbowale scored […]
In 2024, John Poulakidas led the Yale Bulldogs to a historic win during March Madness over the number four, Auburn. This earned him instant legend status at the Ivy League school and helped take the team to the second round of the tournament. “Folk hero”, the New York Post called him after that game, where […]
The NBA slows for no team, and Dallas continues to struggle with injuries as they get set to continue their extended road trip, this time with a game against the Orlando Magic. Cooper Flagg and Marvin Bagley have been rules out, while Klay Thompson, Naji Marshall, and Brandon Williams are all game-time decisions. It’s bad […]
With Cooper Flagg making a return soon (he’s questionable against Orlando Thursday but seeing as they go to Boston Friday, I expect that’s when he comes back), we thought it time to ask the staff what game or games they’re looking forward to. Bryan: I am looking forward to any game Cooper Flagg plays in […]
