The Mavericks deserve your respect, even if they don’t command your attention
Let’s make this clear right up front: the Mavericks are objectively not a good team right now.

They are 23rd in net-rating according to Cleaning the Glass, and they are […]
Mavericks’ undrafted rookie point guard Ryan Nembhard has been an unexpected revelation
If you bought low on Ryan Nembhard stock after the 2025 NBA Draft, as some associated with this scrappy little website did after the Dallas Mavericks (7-15) scooped up the pure point guard out of UConn on a two-way deal that fateful night in June, his first three NBA starts no doubt have visions of […]

ESPN: Chicago Bulls weigh Anthony Davis trade
The Chicago Bulls, the most dependable play-in spot in the eastern conference, started off hot this season.
