Player Grades: Recapping the Mavericks vs. the Bulls

Game 82 is in the books for the Dallas Mavericks, as they took on the Chicago Bulls Sunday night in what resulted in a 149-128 win. The Mavericks finish the season with a 26-56 record, good for either the seventh or eighth worst record in the league, as the Mavs and Pelicans end the season […]

Mavericks vs Bulls Preview and Injury Update: Last one for a while

The Dallas Mavericks (25-56) play their final game of the 2025-26 season at home on Sunday, facing off against the Chicago Bulls (31-50). Dallas got thumped by the San Antonio Spurs on Friday, but at least we were treated to a Wemby-Flagg dual. The Bulls are locked into their lottery odds and are sort of […]

The Dallas Wings Have Been Active in Free Agency

The basketball team from Dallas was awful last season, so they ended up with the number one overall pick last year. Luckily, there was a generational player available, and they drafted an immediate star who lived up to the considerable hype. But it wasn’t enough, and they had another awful year, and are hopefully going […]

MMBets: The Chicago Bulls visit the Dallas Mavericks

Three years ago, almost to the day, a ragtag collection of end-of-roster Mavericks nearly torpedoed Dallas’s lottery dreams by almost winning a game no one in the front office wanted to win against these same Chicago Bulls. Theo Pinson, McKinley Wright, AJ Lawson — names that barely register now — chucked four three-pointers in the […]

Even Anthony Davis couldn’t believe the trade was real

Anthony Davis appeared on the Draymond Green Show this week and recounted the night the trade went down in remarkable detail — and what emerges from the telling is something that should haunt every pundit who nodded along with Nico Harrison’s vision: Davis himself thought it was a prank. Here’s the clip: Walk through the […]

Dwight Powell, mayor of the Dallas Mavericks

It became obvious early on that this Dallas Mavericks season wouldn’t be about wins and losses. There would be no playoff push, no late game heroics in the postseason. Not even a solid 41-41 season that might give you some hope for the next year. So you start thinking about reasons to watch this team. […]

The Dallas Mavericks (25-55) play their last road game of the 2025-206 regular season, facing off against the San Antonio Spurs (61-19).

Grading the Mavericks: Cooper Flagg, take a bow

The Mavericks were 1-3 this weekend and remained in 13th place in the West. They lost to Orlando (138-127) and beat the hobbled Lakers (134-128) before heading out West for back-to-back losses to the Clippers (116-103) and Phoenix (112-108). Cooper Flagg led the team in scoring with, and this is not a typo, 33 points […]

Rumor: Kidd Interested in Mavs’ GM Role

Jason Kidd has been a dynamic part of the Dallas Mavericks and their history for the last three decades. From Co-Rookie of the Year in 1994 to point guard for the 2011 championship team to coaching the team during its 2024 run back to the NBA Finals, Kidd has been there and done that with […]

MMBets: The Dallas Mavericks visit the San Antonio Spurs

Hot green tea at the desk tonight, which either means I’m being responsible or the Coffee Almond Toffee finally caught up with me. Either way, the Dallas Mavericks (25-55) close out their last road game of the season Friday against the San Antonio Spurs (61-19), a team that has locked into the two-seed and is […]

The Dallas Mavericks came up just short Wednesday night, falling 112-107 to the Phoenix Suns in a game that stayed competitive into the final minutes but ultimately slipped away late.
