MMBets: The Atlanta Hawks are ready to soar
Atlanta has not made the playoffs in two seasons. In fact, since they made the Conference Finals in 2021, their success has slowly tailed off. They have lost in the first round twice, had a winning record once, and have had three head coaches. It has been a whirlwind for the Hawks, and not the […]
Caleb Martin and the Cost of Control
You know that feeling in NBA 2K when you’re in Franchise Mode, trying to build the team of your dreams, and the computer keeps rejecting your trade offers because they’re not remotely fair? So you scroll over to the settings and flip on “Force Trades” — suddenly, all your delusional rebuilds go through, no matter […]
MMBets: Orlando may have found Magic with Desmond Bane
The Magic have been one of my teams for a couple of years now. I love Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner, and their collection of young defenders is exciting to watch. Unfortunately, their Achilles heel has been their inability to score, and they have been ousted from the playoffs in consecutive years due to an […]
Can Dante Exum stay on the court for the Mavericks?
It’s hard to give Dante Exum’s time in Dallas a grade. As has become the theme with the Dallas Mavericks, when he’s been on the court, he’s been good. But the problem has been him being on the court. When the Mavericks took a flyer on Exum in the 2023 offseason and signed the number […]
MMBets: Heat culture will be on full display in Miami
The Heat are a world away from the team that made the NBA Finals just three seasons ago. Their 2025 was defined by disappointment and reality, as they came to terms with the fact that Jimmy Butler no longer was the engine that could drive them to playoff success. Last year was the first season […]
Cooper Flagg and New Balance unveil first design ahead of NBA debut
Dallas Mavericks rookie Cooper Flagg has plenty to look forward to in the next week. With anticipation that has built for the last 18-plus months, the former Duke Blue Devil will be making his NBA debut at home on October 22 against Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs to kick-off the Mavericks’ regular season. […]
Mavs vet Dwight Powell likes what he’s seeing: “That’s the beauty of a team like ours”
Dwight Powell, backup center and by far the longest tenured Dallas Maverick, has become quite the culture and chemistry guy for this team going into his 12th season in Dallas. Last May, then Maverick Spencer Dinwiddie, who went to the Charlotte Hornets this summer, called Powell a “standout voice in the locker room” through adversity. […]
What is Daniel Gafford’s role with the Mavericks upon his return from this ankle injury?
Daniel Gafford is the recent recipient of a three-year, $54 million contract extension, which kicks in for the 2026-27 season and keeps him paid through 2028-29. He’s unfortunately also the even more recent recipient of an ankle injury, which he suffered on the first day of Dallas Mavericks training camp on Sept. 30 in Vancouver, […]
Stats Rundown: 4 numbers from Mavericks win against Lakers
The Mavericks played in their preseason finale late Wednesday night in Las Vegas against the Los Angeles Lakers, marking the final game for the Mavs this preseason. The Mavericks, led by Anthony Davis and Cooper Flagg playing point guard, ended up cruising past the Lakers, 121-94 in what Jason Kidd called “full dress rehearsal” pre-game. […]
