Mavericks vs. Warriors: 3 things before Dallas hosts a shorthanded Golden State

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 […]

Finding meaning in this Dallas Mavericks season

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 […]

MMBets: The Los Angeles Clippers visit the Dallas Mavericks

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 […]

4 Draft Prospects with the Most to Prove in the East Region of March Madness

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.

2 things after Dallas takes a loss against Atlanta, 135-120

The Atlanta Hawks defeated the Dallas Mavericks 135-to-120. This game started on the wrong foot, and the Mavericks never quite found their level. If you blinked (or spent the first couple of minutes looking at your phone), you might’ve missed the Hawks starting the game by opening up a 10-to-0 lead within the game’s first […]

The Mavericks have been ornery lately. Cooper Flagg has scored 21 or more in three straight, PJ Washington has strung together back-to-back […]
