The Dallas Mavericks could not string together their first winning streak of the season, dropping the second night of a back-to-back against the Oklahoma City Thunder 101-94 in Dallas Monday night. This was a strange game, with both teams shorthanded. Dallas was missing both Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively, forcing the Mavericks to play Anthony […]

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. […]

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 […]
