Now I hope that in recovery I can help someone else out there who might be struggling with a similar problem. Growing up, […]

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 […]

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, […]

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 […]
