Mavericks vs. Bulls Recap: 3 notes after Dallas’ season ends with 149-128 win over Chicago
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 […]
Mavericks vs Bulls Preview and Injury Update: Last one for a while
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 […]
The Dallas Wings Have Been Active in Free Agency
The basketball team from Dallas was awful last season, so they ended up with the number one overall pick last year. Luckily, there was a generational player available, and they drafted an immediate star who lived up to the considerable hype. But it wasn’t enough, and they had another awful year, and are hopefully going […]
MMBets: The Chicago Bulls visit the Dallas Mavericks
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 […]

Even Anthony Davis couldn’t believe the trade was real
Anthony Davis appeared on the Draymond Green Show this week and recounted the night the trade went down in remarkable detail — and what emerges from the telling is something that should haunt every pundit who nodded along with Nico Harrison’s vision: Davis himself thought it was a prank. Here’s the clip: Walk through the […]
Mavericks vs. Spurs recap: 3 things from Dallas’ 139-120 loss in San Antonio
The Dallas Mavericks (25-56) took on the San Antonio Spurs (62-19) Friday night in their penultimate game of the 2025-2026 season, which ended in a 139-120 loss.

Dwight Powell, mayor of the Dallas Mavericks
It became obvious early on that this Dallas Mavericks season wouldn’t be about wins and losses. There would be no playoff push, no late game heroics in the postseason. Not even a solid 41-41 season that might give you some hope for the next year. So you start thinking about reasons to watch this team. […]

Grading the Mavericks: Cooper Flagg, take a bow
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).
