The dam that was holding back the Dallas Mavericks’ newly installed flow offense finally broke on Sunday in a 139-129 win over the Toronto Raptors (1-2) at American Airlines Center. Everybody ate against Toronto in a win that could serve as something of a reset after two stinkers to start the 2025-26 season. Anthony Davis […]

The Mavericks are 0-2. They have had few competitive minutes in the fourth quarters of the two games they have played. It is essential that they come out swinging against Toronto today. The Raptors have looked good through two games, and play the style of basketball that the Mavericks are trying to play. They’re second […]

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 […]

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 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. […]

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 […]

Stumbling Out of the Gate It had been 187 days since the Dallas Mavericks last played a meaningful game, when they were eliminated by the Memphis Grizzlies in the play-in tournament. Since winning the NBA Draft Lottery in May, enthusiasm and hope returned to the Mavericks fanbase, having the opportunity to draft 18-year-old phenom Cooper […]

The Dallas Mavericks lost to the San Antonio Spurs by 33 points Wednesday night in Dallas. Lack of spacing, shot creation, defensive cohesion – and too much Victor Wembanyama – are just some of the issues the Mavs struggled with in the nightmare start to the season. During the preseason, the Mavs have been very […]

Let’s just start with this: The New Orleans Pelicans are a cursed franchise that is seemingly incapable of having anything good happen to it. Every year in the Zion Williamson era, either he himself has gotten hurt or they’ve been so hurt around him to where nothing else matters. Of course, option number three in […]
