Rick Carlisle approved.
The Mavericks were 0-3 this past week and remain in 13th place in the West. Defense was optional during their losing streak, as the Mavericks lost three barn burners to Atlanta (135-120), the Clippers (138-131), and Golden State (137-131). Cooper Flagg led the team in scoring with 22.3 points per game. Grade: C+ The Mavericks […]
What, really, is there to be gained for the Dallas Mavericks (23-49) as they prepare to face the Denver Nuggets (44-28) on Wednesday at Ball Arena? A draft lottery ball or two? A feint glimmer of sunshine in an otherwise dreary season and amidst a stretch of just four wins in the team’s last 27 […]

The first weekend of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament is in the books. While the madness has been relatively tame by the standards set before this tournament, the quality of basketball is at an all-time high. The sport’s best were all on display this weekend, with many having fantastic showings. Let’s dive in and see […]
The WNBA and WNBPA have reportedly agreed to a collective bargaining agreement after nearly 100 hours of crunch-time negotiations. The agreement guarantees larger salaries, a share of the league’s revenue share for its players, and finally ends the negotiations that threatened to cripple the league if not finalized before the start of the season. With […]
The Dallas Mavericks lost 137-131 to the Golden State Warriors in an overtime thriller Monday night in Dallas. Cooper Flagg led all scorers with 32 points but a balanced Warriors attack and sloppy Mavericks miscues prevented the Mavericks from a feel-good win. Dallas nearly blew the game open in the second quarter, outscoring Golden State […]
The Dallas Mavericks lost again at home in overtime, this time to the Golden State Warriors on Monday night, 137-131. Moses Moody led the Warriors with 23 points. Cooper Flagg scored a game high 32 points but also turned the ball over seven times. Fans in the American Airlines Center were treated to a display […]
The Dallas Mavericks (23-48) are still home for this Monday night nationally televised game against the Golden State Warriors (33-38). Dallas is on a three-game losing streak, falling on Saturday to the Los Angeles Clippers in overtime. The Warriors have also lost three in a row, most recently losing to the Atlanta Hawks. Here are […]
The Mavericks are home for a game against their 2022 Western Conference Finals opponents, the Golden State Warriors. Golden State has been ravaged by injuries this season and find themselves fighting for the eighth spot in the playoffs. Both teams own a three-game losing streak, but both have different incentives behind winning and losing. The […]
Don’t tell anyone we told you, but you’d be forgiven if you missed some Dallas Mavericks games lately with March Madness seeping through the public consciousness for the last 96 hours. But both worlds work hand-in-hand, as the Mavericks navigate lottery positioning while the NBA season comes to a close. And while positioning (losing) doesn’t […]
It’s past time for a new lounge thread, so here we are. Here’s the old one to carry over any conversations and grievances. The schedule is a mixed bag. For basketball fans, it’s great. There’s the NCAA Tournament, the race for playoff seeding, and more. If you’re strictly a diehard Mavs fan (and perhaps one […]
The Dallas Mavericks lost another game Saturday night, a 138-131 defeat in overtime to the Los Angeles Clippers. Dallas has lost 11 straight home games and sits at 23-48 on the season. It’s been this way for most of the season. Dallas hung around in the play-in race for a few weeks, but eventually everyone […]
The Dallas Mavericks (23-48, 14-22 Home) took the Los Angeles Clippers to overtime on Saturday before falling 138-131 in a game that had no business being that close and (if you were watching) every reason to be exactly that close. These Mavericks don’t fold. They don’t mail it in. They play hard enough to make you […]
Though the NBA season is rolling on, a good chunk of the basketball world puts it on the back burner every March to pay attention to the NCAA Tournament. And there are plenty of bets to be made for both leagues if that’s your thing. This week at Mavs Moneyball, I kept the survey simple. […]
What’s the point of all this? Not just the last 12 games of this Dallas Mavericks season. They’re probably going to lose a lot of those games, so you’re not watching for the thrill of victory. A lot of the players on the team right now will likely be gone after this summer, so you’re […]
The Dallas Mavericks continue to lose, this time in a 138-131 overtime thriller to the Los Angeles Clippers. Darius Garland had a savant performance, pouring in 41 points and 11 assists. Kawhi Leonard also had a great performance, scoring 34 points on just 22 shots. The Mavericks almost pulled off the upset, but were eventually […]
The Dallas Mavericks (23-48) turned what looked like a third-quarter collapse at American Airlines Center on Saturday, into yet another clutch game down the stretch, and ultimately, an overtime loss to the Los Angeles Clippers (35-36). The Mavericks had no answer for the duo of Kahwi Leonard (34 points) and Darius Garland (41 points) in […]
The Dallas Mavericks (23-47) are home for the second straight game Saturday night, playing the Los Angeles Clippers (34-36). Dallas has been off for two days following a home loss to the Atlanta Hawks. The Clippers have slid under .500 after losing four straight, the most recent to the New Orleans Pelicans. They really need […]
While doing some wishcasting, I prompted our staff with this question: Dallas jumps up to number 1 in the NBA Lottery AGAIN. You’re the GM, based on what you know and think right now, what do you do with that pick? Bryan: I am opening up the bidding for the teams picking 2nd and 3rd. […]
It’s late March, the last of my Salted Brown Butter Cookie Häagen-Dazs is gone, and the Dallas Mavericks (23-47) are hosting the Los Angeles Clippers (34-36) in a game that actually matters—just not the same way for both teams. The Clippers are sitting squarely in the play-in and have dropped back-to-back games to the Pelicans […]
The Dallas Mavericks (23-47) welcome the Los Angeles Clippers (34-36) to town, as both teams look to get back into the win column. The Mavericks are coming off a 135-120 loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday, and the Clippers are looking to get right after consecutive losses to the New Orleans Pelicans. Here are […]
To some of us, it may sound like an echo from a not-so-distant past. How do we protect our superstar and franchise player from constantly getting hit and banged up – and carrying too much of the load? “Health is the biggest thing,” Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd said a few days ago about […]
The East Bracket of the 2026 NCAA Tournament might be the most-watched by NBA scouts, not because of the names you already know, like Cam Boozer, Darrien Peterson, Mikel Brown Jr., and Braylon Mullins, but because of the names you might not: Donovan Dent, Jeremy Fears, Dominique Daniels, Zuby Ejiofor, and David Punch. If you’re […]
Now that the ball has been tipped and the madness has begun, we turn our attention to the many draft prospects the Mavericks will start evaluating at the end of April. Moving over to the South Region, this is one of the more interesting parts of the bracket when you look at it through a […]
The Midwest region of the 2026 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament features several future pros and likely first round draft picks in this summer’s NBA Draft. The trio of Michigan bigs are the headliners in this region, but the depth here is not to be underestimated. Let’s dive into a few of those guys that have […]
