The Dallas Mavericks didn’t end up here by accident. This wasn’t just bad luck or one bad stretch. This was a season defined by hesitation. They didn’t fully commit to competing, but they also didn’t fully commit to losing until it was too late. The result was a middle ground that, in the NBA, is […]
The season from hell is over. I could not be more relieved, as watching my favourite team organically tank their way to oblivion was getting more and more frustrating with every game. Amid the blissful end of the season and the chaos of the Cooper Flagg-Kon Kneuppel Rookie of the Year debate, you might be […]
The NBA released a list of their best selling jerseys. The results should come as little surprise. At the top, Stephen Curry. The two-time MVP is the greatest shooter of all time. He’s the face of the last NBA dynasty, and an internationally recognized superstar. Luka Doncic has the second best selling jersey. He’s the […]
Portland Trail Blazers forward Jerami Grant has been upgraded to questionable to play against the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday in the NBA Play-In Tournament, as he continues to recover from a right calf strain, the organization announced. Grant has missed Portland’s previous seven games after injuring his calf in a matchup against the Dallas Mavericks […]
Mercifully for your Dallas Mavericks, the 82-game grind that is the NBA regular season has come and gone. Just about the only two bits of drama over the last two months of this disaster was whether or not they could lose enough games to earn some lottery balls, and if they could get Cooper Flagg […]
The Dallas Mavericks had a miserable season by basically every metric. Right from the beginning, as the Mavs endured Anthony Davis injuries, point Cooper Flagg and countless clutch losses, you knew where this season was heading. The Mavericks themselves admitted this, firing Nico Harrison for his negligence in November, then promptly trading away the crowned […]
Game 82 is in the books for the Dallas Mavericks, as they took on the Chicago Bulls Sunday night in what resulted in a 149-128 win. The Mavericks finish the season with a 26-56 record, good for either the seventh or eighth worst record in the league, as the Mavs and Pelicans end the season […]
The Dallas Mavericks end their season strong, cruising to a 149-128 win over the Bulls behind one of their most complete offensive performances of the season. Dallas shot a blistering 52.0% from the field and 22-of-49 from three (44.9%), while piling up 35 assists and completely controlling the flow of the game. Ryan Nembhard led […]
Neither team occupying space inside American Airlines Center wanted to win the game being played on Sunday night, so of course the Dallas Mavericks (26-56) did. The Mavericks mopped the hardwood with the Chicago Bulls (31-51), 149-128, and Cooper Flagg left the game early in the second quarter with an apparent ankle injury, so all […]
The Dallas Mavericks (25-56) play their final game of the 2025-26 season at home on Sunday, facing off against the Chicago Bulls (31-50). Dallas got thumped by the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, but at least we were treated to a Wemby-Flagg dual. The Bulls are locked into their lottery odds and are sort of […]
Three years ago, almost to the day, a ragtag collection of end-of-roster Mavericks nearly torpedoed Dallas’s lottery dreams by almost winning a game no one in the front office wanted to win against these same Chicago Bulls. Theo Pinson, McKinley Wright, AJ Lawson — names that barely register now — chucked four three-pointers in the […]

Victor Wembanyama needed to play one more game to qualify for end-of-season awards. After a rib injury, many people suggested he could do 20 minutes of cardio to meet the minimum requirements. Doing the minimum is not in Wembanyama’s nature. He exploded for 40 points in 26 minutes as the Spurs handled the Dallas Mavericks […]

Stephon Castle was ruled out, but Victor Wembanyama returned from his rib contusion. The Spurs started the game hot, outscoring the Mavs 37-26 in the first quarter. However, the Mavs fought back and outscored […]

Dallas rolled in with a lengthy injury list that included the usual suspects this year, along with P.J. Washington, Naji Marshall and Klay Thompson. The game started off […]
For 24 minutes, it didn’t look like a blowout. Inside the Frost Bank Center, the San Antonio Spurs found themselves in a game that felt tighter than expected. The Dallas Mavericks weren’t backing down, trading shots, matching energy, and riding a red-hot first half from Cooper Flagg that kept the crowd uneasy. San Antonio hadn’t […]

Cooper Flagg matched Victor Wembanyama step for step with 33 points and six rebounds in the loss, but no one rode shotgun alongside the rookie […]
San Antonio managed to give its superstar center the requisite playing time and keep all of its rotation players under 30 minutes in a 139-120 beating of Dallas tonight.

The Dallas Mavericks (25-55) play their last road game of the 2025-206 regular season, facing off against the San Antonio Spurs (61-19). Dallas last played the Phoenix Suns and could not notch a win despite a valiant effort down many rotation guys. The Spurs are coming off wins over the Philadelphia Sixers and Portland Trailblazers, […]

Our community guidelines apply and basically say be cool, no personal attacks, don’t troll and don’t swear too much. Let’s be honest. The Mavericks aren’t looking to win any more […]
This is the final week of Dallas Mavericks basketball, thank goodness. We had a poll that went up earlier in the week asking fans just one question and there was the link to join the national survey, which you should do so we can get more Dallas representation. The one and only question asked where […]
The Mavericks were 1-3 this weekend and remained in 13th place in the West. They lost to Orlando (138-127) and beat the hobbled Lakers (134-128) before heading out West for back-to-back losses to the Clippers (116-103) and Phoenix (112-108).

Jason Kidd has been a dynamic part of the Dallas Mavericks and their history for the last three decades. From Co-Rookie of the Year in 1994 to point guard for the 2011 championship team to coaching the team during its 2024 run back to the NBA Finals, Kidd has been there and done that with […]
