MMB Discussion: Coin flips, GM hired, and the wait to the NBA Lottery
I see that our previous lounge passed 1,000 comments recently and while I try to get to these every month, the things start to break around 500 comments. Someone sass me if I don’t get these up! Here’s that lounge thread (renamed moving forward per my editor) in case you need to carry over a […]
Best Moment from the 2025-26 Dallas Mavericks season
Today’s prompt for the staff was easy: what’s your favorite moment from the season? Bryan: December 23, 2025. Denver comes to town on national tv as the Mavs are at the peak of annoying me by going on that brief winning streak earlier in the month, just to go right back to being a dreadful […]
Azzi Fudd’s no-answer stirs debate online as fans, media clash over potential relationship questions
Azzi Fudd sat at her press conference Thursday between Dallas Wings general manager Curt Miller and new head coach Jose Fernandez to talk about the No. 1 overall pick’s arrival to Dallas. Yet as the press conference began, it quickly became clear the focus was on last year’s No. 1 pick, Paige Bueckers. Bueckers spoke […]
Dallas Mavericks rookie Flagg is 9th in NBA jersey sales
On Monday, the NBA released the top-selling jerseys from the 2025-26 regular season. While the list of course features many mainstays, popular players like Steph Curry and LeBron James, Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg appeared on the list with the ninth-best-selling jersey. This news came as a bit of a surprise to me, at least. […]
What pressure? Cooper Flagg’s ability to embrace pressure is the hallmark of the select few only
It was in June last year, when I knew. That day, I decided to test my extremely ambitious then 11 year-old’s ability to handle pressure. Technical skills, vision and talent is great in sports, but it means nothing if you can’t handle real pressure. If you fold when it counts, you are not ready and […]
NBA Draft watch: Who has already declared for the NBA Draft?
With both the NCAA Tournament and NBA regular season done and dusted, it’s now time to turn our attention to the NBA Draft, where the Dallas Mavericks are set to have multiple first-round picks and three selections in the draft overall. The process over the next few weeks gets a bit murky, but these are […]
The Dallas Wings played it safe with Azzi Fudd
When Azzi Fudd’s name was announced as the first overall pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft, there was little surprise throughout the Dallas Wings fanbase. The pick had felt like a forgone conclusion in the days leading up to the draft—Dallas’ free agent activity, coupled with not-so-subtle hints from the social media team, telegraphed the […]
The rookie of the year debate has gone too far
The NBA regular season is over, which means award discourse season before the playoffs start is in full swing. Some awards, like MVP and DPOY, are all but announced, with overwhelming favorites expected to win. However, the race for Rookie of the Year is a much different story. Cooper Flagg and Kon Knueppel are the […]
The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly that Was the 2025-2026 Dallas Mavericks
The 2025–26 Mavericks season didn’t just fall short of expectations. It unraveled almost immediately, forcing everyone involved to confront how fragile the foundation really was. This was a team that entered the year expecting to compete right away, expecting to be playing meaningful basketball deep into April, and instead looked disjointed from the opening week. […]
Who is Zee Spearman, the Dallas Wings’ third-round draft pick in 2026?
Azzi Fudd wasn’t the only addition to the Dallas Wings’ roster on draft night on Monday. Dallas selected Zee Spearman out of Tennessee with the 31st overall pick of the 2026 WNBA Draft. It was the first pick of the third round of the draft. The Wings gave up their second-round pick this year and […]
Dallas Wings select Azzi Fudd with first overall pick of 2026 WNBA Draft
The Dallas Wings’ second straight No. 1 overall draft pick is in. With the first pick of Monday’s 2026 WNBA Draft, the Wings selected UConn shooting guard Azzi Fudd, who will be reunited in Dallas with her former college teammate and last year’s No. 1 overall pick, Paige Bueckers. Fudd averaged 17.6 points per game […]
Mavericks fall into tie for 7th best NBA Draft Lottery odds on season’s last day
Mercifully for your Dallas Mavericks, the 82-game grind that is the NBA regular season has come and gone. Just about the only two bits of drama over the last two months of this disaster was whether or not they could lose enough games to earn some lottery balls, and if they could get Cooper Flagg […]
Lacking direction, this Mavericks season ends as a massive organizational failure
The Dallas Mavericks had a miserable season by basically every metric. Right from the beginning, as the Mavs endured Anthony Davis injuries, point Cooper Flagg and countless clutch losses, you knew where this season was heading. The Mavericks themselves admitted this, firing Nico Harrison for his negligence in November, then promptly trading away the crowned […]
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 […]
Stats Recap: 4 numbers as from the Mavericks season ending beatdown of the Bulls
The Dallas Mavericks end their season strong, cruising to a 149-128 win over the Bulls behind one of their most complete offensive performances of the season. Dallas shot a blistering 52.0% from the field and 22-of-49 from three (44.9%), while piling up 35 assists and completely controlling the flow of the game. Ryan Nembhard led […]
Mavericks vs. Bulls Recap: 3 notes after Dallas’ season ends with 149-128 win over Chicago
Neither team occupying space inside American Airlines Center wanted to win the game being played on Sunday night, so of course the Dallas Mavericks (26-56) did. The Mavericks mopped the hardwood with the Chicago Bulls (31-51), 149-128, and Cooper Flagg left the game early in the second quarter with an apparent ankle injury, so all […]
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 […]
3 things to watch as the Mavericks finish up against the Bulls
The Dallas Mavericks (25-56) play game No. 82 Sunday against the Chicago Bulls (31-49) with a 7:30pm tipoff at American Airlines Center. The Mavericks lost on the road to the Spurs Friday, 139-120, dropping their third in a row and sixth of their last seven. Cooper Flagg scored 33 points on 25 shots and center […]
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 […]
Mavericks vs. Spurs recap: 3 things from Dallas’ 139-120 loss in San Antonio
The Dallas Mavericks (25-56) took on the San Antonio Spurs (62-19) Friday night in their penultimate game of the 2025-2026 season, which ended in a 139-120 loss. Dallas rolled in with a lengthy injury list that included the usual suspects this year, along with P.J. Washington, Naji Marshall and Klay Thompson. The game started off […]
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. […]
Player Grades: How the Mavericks fared in a 139-120 loss at the San Antonio Spurs
The Dallas Mavericks (25-56) took on the San Antonio Spurs (62-19) for the last time in the 2025-2026 season. Saturday night’s matchup ended with Dallas on the wrong side of a 139-120 final score, with the loss dropping Dallas’ record to 25-56 with one game remaining. The Mavs had eight players listed as “out” so […]

The Dallas Mavericks (25-56) went out with a whimper against San Antonio Spurs (62-19) at Frost Bank Center on Friday, dropping a 139-120 blowout loss to their once hated rivals. Cooper Flagg matched Victor Wembanyama step for step with 33 points and six rebounds in the loss, but no one rode shotgun alongside the rookie […]
