Rick Carlisle approved.
The trade deadline has come and gone. The NBA’s All-Star weekend, along with the break, has come and gone. We’re staring at the last 25 or so games and just trying to find a way to make it through. Here’s the last Lounge if you need to reference any of the nearly 800 comments. Where […]
Selection Sunday for the 2026 Men’s NCAA Basketball Tournament is now just under three weeks away. The stretch run is here, and the best in the country are playing like it (well, except for one). It was an exhilarating week of basketball, capped by the Duke Blue Devils beating the Michigan Wolverines in Washington D.C.. […]
It has been nearly a full year since Kyrie Irving has played in an NBA game. With his shutdown for the remainder of the year now official, he will not play his next game until at least 19 months post-ACL surgery. That is a lot of time. 19 months ago, the Mavericks were fresh off […]
The Dallas Mavericks broke their ten-game losing streak Sunday night, with a 134-130 win over the Indiana Pacers. Let’s get to the grades! Naji Marshall: B+ 17 PTS / 2 REB / 2 AST / 1 STL / 0 BLK – 26 MIN Marshall was back to his old ways, hitting 7-for-10 from the floor […]
At long last, the Dallas Mavericks have won a basketball game. The Mavericks (20-36) won their first game in a calendar month with a 134-130 decision over the Indiana Pacers (15-43) at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Sunday. Dallas got a season-high 25 points from Khris Middleton to go along with seven rebounds and seven assists in […]
The Dallas Mavericks (20-36) finally won what turned out to be a fun, competitive NBA game, even if it featured two bad teams. Dallas beat the Indiana Pacers (15-43), 134-130, behind a full team effort. The Mavs had six scorers finish in double figures, including a monster 25 points on 11-for-15 shooting night from Khris […]
The Dallas Mavericks (19-36) visit the Indiana Pacers (15-42) for a very strangely timed Sunday afternoon game. Dallas is in the midst of a double-digit losing streak, having not won a game in over a month. The Pacers just out tanked the Washington Wizards twice in a row. This is going to be a monumentally […]
The Dallas Mavericks (19-36, 5-19 Away) prepare to face off with the Indiana Pacers (15-42, 10-18 Home) at 4 pm CST on Sunday. While Dallas is on the longest losing streak the franchise has seen since before my car renting age of 25, Indiana is also facing struggles as they were just handed back-to-back losses by a […]
The Dallas Mavericks and their star point guard Kyrie Irving recently made it official – Irving would be out for the remainder of the season, looking for a fresh start in 2026-2027. While talking with fellow Mavs Moneyball contributor David Trink about what we could expect from Irving upon his return, I stated “I’m irrationally […]
The Dallas Mavericks lost again, this time 122-111 to the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday night in Minneapolis. It’s the Mavericks 10th loss in a row. The last time Dallas won was Jan. 22 against the Golden State Warriors. This game followed the trend of the previous nine losses almost exactly — Dallas gets crushed in the […]
The Dallas Mavericks took on the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday night in their first game since the All-Star break on Friday. Losers of nine-straight coming into the night, Dallas dropped their tenth in a row, 122-111. Let’s get to the grades! Tyus Jones: B+ 13 PTS / 1 REB / 6 AST / 0 STL / […]
Game. Blouses. Not that it matters much, but the Dallas Mavericks (19-36) lost their 10th straight game and their first out of the NBA All-Star Break on Friday, 122-111, to the Minnesota Timberwolves (35-22) at Target Center. The Timberwolves donned their Prince-inspired City Edition jerseys and served pancakes (probably) in the visitors’ locker room after […]
The Dallas Mavericks (19-35) start off the post-NBA All-Star push on the road Friday night, this time matching up against the Minnesota Timberwolves (34-22). Dallas hasn’t won a game since January 22nd, so a win here would mean they can cut the streak at nine games and before it reaches a full month. Minnesota is […]
The Dallas Mavericks (19-35) will try to end their nine-game losing streak as they play the Minnesota Timberwolves (34-22) at Target Center. After a long and Mavs-less All-Star break, Dallas returns to action against the Minnesota Timberwolves. However, while the Mavericks are back, they will still be without rookie Cooper Flagg, who remains out with […]
The Dallas Mavericks are in the home stretch, fully in rebuild mode for the final 28 games of their season. For the last few years at MMB we’ve wrapped up each week with a quick glance at the Power Rankings among national outlets to see how they view the Mavericks from week to week. That, […]
The Mavericks are back in action after the All-Star break. They are in Minnesota, where they will play the Timberwolves without Cooper Flagg. The Wolves have dominated Dallas this season, winning each of their first two matchups by 24 and 13 points, respectively. Dallas is in active tank mode, and Minnesota is just a game […]
The Dallas Mavericks fully leaned into a new era for the organization this season after hearing the calls from MFFLs everywhere — first, by firing general manager Nico Harrison; and next, severing ties to the major connection to the Luka Doncic trade by moving Anthony Davis. The trade deadline reset the books for the future […]
The Dallas Mavericks (19-35) have sharply fallen out of the play-in race, seven games behind the 10th-place Los Angeles Clippers in the West. As Dallas enters the final third of the season, the Mavericks are looking to snap a nine-game losing streak. As play-in hopes continue to dwindle, the Mavericks will take a serious look […]
In the latest installment of Ethical Tanking Theater, the Dallas Mavericks (19-35) announced on Wednesday that Kyrie Irving would miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season as he continues to recover from his ACL reconstruction surgery, which he underwent in 2025. The team said in a press release that “Irving has made steady progress in […]
It’s an exciting time to watch college basketball! With the NBA out of the way for the majority of this week, there is plenty of time to get eyes on some of the best prospects in the country who will be playing in big games. There’s so much to get into from the week that […]
Mikel Brown Jr. had become somewhat of a polarizing NBA Draft prospect throughout the 2025-26 college basketball season. Regarded as an elite shooter prior to his arrival at Louisville, Brown Jr. had been anything but that. Prior to last week, Brown Jr. was hovering at around 30% from three point range, while shooting under 40% […]
The Dallas Mavericks are currently in the midst of their longest losing streak since before the calendar turned over to a new century. Having dropped nine straight games entering the All-Star break, Dallas is currently much better positioned for a high draft pick than they are for a Play In bid, and it’s becoming increasingly […]
With tNBA’s Trade Deadline come and gone and the Dallas Mavericks making a transaction, it was time to take a poll to see what Dallas fans thought of the crazy few days for the Mavericks. I went into the gym on Thursday and came out to a blown up phone with so many texts, tweets, […]
The Dallas Mavericks, now post trade deadline and resting over the all-star break, are fully in a new era. Yes, parts of the Luka Doncic core remain. But the Anthony Davis deadline deal that sent the big man and the end of the bench to the Washington Wizards made clear that the front office is […]
To no one’s surprise, Cooper Flagg was officially named a “Rising Star” by the NBA and was tapped to compete in the “Rising Stars Challenge” during the 2026 All-Star Weekend in Los Angeles before suffering a foot injury in Tuesday’s 120-111 loss at the Phoenix Suns. It got us thinking: What other Mavericks have been […]
