Rick Carlisle approved.
No one wanted to win Friday’s game between the visiting Dallas Mavericks (24-50) Portland Trail Blazers (37-38) at Moda Center, but eventually someone had to. The Mavericks pulled the unlikely 100-93 win out of their hat amidst 16 combined fourth-quarter turnovers as the game got sloppier and sloppier down the stretch. Cooper Flagg had 24 […]
The Dallas Mavericks (23-50) remain on the road Friday night to take on the Portland Trailblazers (37-37). The Mavericks have lost five in a row again, most recently to the Denver Nuggets who crushed them from three. Portland has won five of thier last six and a win against Dallas would put them back up […]
It’s just past noon here at the desk, the post breakfast Häagen-Dazs Coffee Almond Toffee is open. As unhealthy as that may seem, my only defense is that I am juggling quite a bit right now and sometimes ice cream is the only thing that sounds like it might turn the day sweet for a […]
It was a big Thursday night in the Men’s NCAA Basketball Tournament, as many of the NBA Draft’s elite prospects were on display against one another. It was a consequential day for me, as I definitely did some shuffling on the personal board after the games concluded Thursday night. Here’s a rundown of the main […]
Sometimes, it just takes one little thing for the puzzle pieces to fall into place and provide a little peace of mind. It was seeing Khris Middleton coaching Cooper Flagg earlier this week that did it for me. Now finally we can call it a season with peace of mind, was the thought that popped […]
The Dallas Mavericks (23-50) will play the Portland Trailblazers (37-37) 9pm Friday at Moda Center. Both clubs last played Wednesday, with Portland extending its win streak to two against the Bucks 130-99, behind guard Scoot Henderson’s 23 points; and the Mavericks losing 142-135 against the Nuggets in Denver, their fifth straight setback. They were led […]
The second weekend of this NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament is shaping up to be an all-timer. When you look around Thursday night, perhaps the two most interesting games of the entire Sweet 16 will be tipping off within 30 minutes of each other. My colleague Jordan did a fantastic job breaking down the matchup between […]
While the Mavericks navigate their way through the final games of the season, positioning themselves for the draft lottery, all eyes will be on the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16. And lucky for us we’re not just getting solid teams facing off against one another, but premium head-to-head matchups against top draft talent. The two late […]
The Dallas Mavericks hit the road to take on the Denver Nuggets in a late game Wednesday night. Dallas had success against Denver with two head-to-head wins in December, but then lost the previous matchup in January, as well this one, 142-135. Let’s get to the grades! Naji Marshall: B+ 22 PTS / 4 REB […]
The Dallas Mavericks (23-50) dropped their fifth game in a row, losing to the Denver Nuggets (44-28) on Wednesday, 142-135. It was a game that threatened to be close on a handful of occasions, mostly for those moments to be quickly erased by a red-hot Jamal Murray, who had 29 points at half and finished […]
The Dallas Mavericks (23-50) dropped their fifth straight game Wednesday, falling 142-135 to the Denver Nuggets (45-28) in a game that felt within reach early before completely getting away from them late.

The Dallas Mavericks (23-49) head back out on the road and play the Denver Nuggets (45-28) on Wednesday night. Dallas is reeling, losing four in a row, including a pair of home overtime games against the Clippers then the Golden State Warriors. Denver played in Phoenix last night and won, but they’re likely tired after […]
Dallas is back on the road in Denver, where they will play the Nuggets for the fourth and final time this season. The first three iterations have been in Dallas’ favor, as they own a 2-1 series lead. Tonight, the Mavericks get the Nuggets with no rest and are coming off two heartbreaking overtime losses. […]
If you’re like me, and well, you’re on this page so you probably are, the NCAA tournament is a national holiday. It’s everything that is beautiful and ugly about college sports. Last weekends first rounds didn’t have the thrill of mid-majors dancing to the Sweet 16, but plenty of iconic finishes made for a fun […]
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 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.

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 […]
