Dallas Mavericks losing their first two games of the 2025-2026 season wouldn’t normally raise too many alarms. It’s not the fact that the Mavs are 0-2 in an 82-game season. It’s HOW they are losing. After a disappointing opening night blowout loss to the San Antonio Spurs 125-92, the hope coming into Friday’s night’s home […]

To borrow a turn of phrase from my fellow Mavsmoneyball contributor, Bryan Robi – Oooohhweee. The Mavericks derped their way to an embarrassing 107-117 loss to the Washington Wizards in the second game of their six-game homestand. Let that sink in – The Washington Wizards. Now, a lot of people might point to Kyshawn George’s […]

Coming off a supernatural experience that opened the eyes of the basketball world against the Mavericks, the Spurs traveled to the Smoothie King Center to take on the New Orleans Pelicans. This time, a back-and-forth affair ensued. After Zion Williamson put Victor Wembanyama on a semi-poster, Wemby proceeded to block him at the rim three […]

This week’s SB Nation Mavericks React poll had two questions, and I posted them early enough in the week that they might be interesting to look back on by next Friday. First, I asked about the Mavericks’ record. Dallas has a six-game home stand to kick off the year, and as of this writing, they’ve […]

The Mavericks lost to the Wizards on Friday night, 117-107. It was an ugly game for Dallas, and one of the main reasons for that is their clear lack of a point guard. For the last seven years, it was easy to gloss over just how important a game manager is because they had, arguably, […]

The Washington Wizards beat the Dallas Mavericks for their first win of the season in a game that was hard-fought, entertaining, and incredibly encouraging. I know — I’m aways the one telling folks not to take too much from one game. And I’m saying it now in part to get myself to tap the brakes. […]

The Dallas Mavericks fell to the Washington Wizards 117-107 in Friday night’s matchup at home. The horrid loss marks Dallas’ second of the season, and follows a rather forgettable 125-92 defeat to Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs. Daniel Gafford (ankle sprain), Dante Exum (mysteriously undisclosed leg injury?), and Kyrie Irving (ACL) were all out for the Mavericks. […]

Washington went into Dallas and beat the Mavericks, 117-107. The Wizards’ bench played a significant role in the outcome of this game.

The Pelicans provided a much tougher test for the Silver and Black tonight than the poorly constructed roster of the Mavericks on Wednesday. The combination of elite shooting and ball movement kept the Spurs defense off balance as the home crowd kept the environment hostile for the Spurs. It was a good learning experience for […]

After a truly defeating 125-92 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night, the Dallas Mavericks are set to take on the Washington Wizards tonight in the second game of their five-game homestand.

Editor’s note: This was written well before that butt whipping from Wednesday. The southwest division looked to be a juggernaut for years to come just a few short years ago. The Mavericks were Luka Doncic’s team, San Antonio had just drafted Victor Wembanyama, Ja Morant and the Grizzlies looked very solid, Zion Williamson was still […]

Where are we after one game in the books and 81 of these things remaining, Mavs fans? Have all our suspicions about mystifying roster construction been confirmed, or are we still clinging to the front office’s crystal clear “defense wins championships” vision, firm in pre-established conclusions that this team just has to be good this […]

There’s no other story. No clever side door to sneak through. We can’t frame this as the top two draft picks squaring off in their NBA debuts. We’re not here to talk about the Spurs starting a season without Gregg Popovich patrolling the sidelines for the first time in decades. And if you came looking […]
