The Dallas Mavericks have essentially bowed out of the 2023 NBA Playoff race, so it’s time to look ahead towards the offseason and how the team must improve moving forward. The biggest question for the Mavs moving forward is whether or not they’ll re-sign All-Star guard Kyrie Irving, who played well individually but who acquisition […]

Well, the Dallas Mavericks have completely flubbed this season. After a solid start to the year, the team inexplicably collapsed towards the end of 2022-23. They went from potential dark horse contenders to lottery selectors in a span of a few weeks. Now, their long-term championship window could be rapidly closing. Ahead of the offseason, […]

The Dallas Mavericks received some serious criticisms from both NBA fans and personnel alike recently, as the club seemingly decided to wave the proverbial white flag and purposefully lose their recent matchup against the Chicago Bulls. The loss officially eliminated the Mavs from playoff contention and, subsequently, improved their odds of keeping their 2023 first-round […]

The Dallas Mavericks may have just increased their odds of retaining their 2023 NBA Draft pick after officially being eliminated from the postseason Friday night but their sights may be set on bigger things that are beyond draft day. Should the Mavs’ selection fall out from the top 10 picks in this year’s draft, they […]

With Dallas Mavericks point guard Kyrie Irving set to become a free agent this offseason, “the early (stress: very early) rumbles have led to projections of a three- or four-year [contract]” for Irving should he re-sign, per NBA insider Marc Stein. Stein adds that Irving is eligible to sign a contract extension with the Mavs […]

The Dallas Mavericks acquired superstar Kyrie Irving before the 2022 NBA trade deadline. The trade was official on February 7, and the Mavs were fifth in the Western Conference, tied with the Phoenix Suns. The expectation was for them to retain that position or even raise their spot in the standings, but it went the […]

Resting players isn’t a revolutionary concept in the NBA. Teams who are out of playoff contention tend to sit their starts towards the latter portion of a regular season. However, the NBA seemingly batted an eye when the Dallas Mavericks decided to rest some of its key players, including Kyrie Irving in Friday’s game against […]

To no one’s surprise, Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving have been officially ruled out for the Dallas Mavericks’ final game of the season on Sunday against the San Antonio Spurs.

Los Angeles Lakers? Denver Nuggets? Philadelphia 76ers?

The NBA was watching the Dallas Mavericks very closely ahead of- and during their loss to the Chicago Bulls on Friday night.

Although the narrative surrounding the Kyrie Irving-Dallas Mavericks situation seems to be that the point guard will leave the team, head coach Jason Kidd isn’t ruling out a reunion. “If I was a betting man, I guess I would say he would be back,” Kidd said. “Why would I say he wouldn’t?” The Mavs ultimately […]

The worst thing a franchise can do is to piss off their superstar player. Perhaps back in the 90s, owners playing hardball by being cheapskates could work. Nowadays, with players able to request trades at a moment’s notice, teams need to make sure that their stars are happy. However, Mark Cuban and the Dallas Mavericks […]

The Oklahoma City Thunder have evidently kickstarted its rebuild. With a Dallas Mavericks loss on Friday night to the Chicago Bulls, the Thunder clinched the No. 10 seed in the Play-in Tournament.

Talk about going to worst to… even worst? The Dallas Mavericks hit rock bottom in a season full of lows when they rested their starters in a must-win game against the Chicago Bulls. They even went so far as to limit Luka Doncic to just one quarter, after the star expressed his determination to drag […]

Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd is certainly not happy with the way their season ended.

Despite their massive and frustrating collapse, though, Kidd is trying to keep […]

The Dallas Mavericks are lacking in several areas, and that much is clear after the Chicago Bulls eliminated them from Play-In contention on Friday when Luka Doncic suited up for just one quarter.

It’s official. Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks have now been eliminated from playoff contention after their gutting 115-112 loss against the Chicago Bulls on Friday night. It’s a sad day to be a Mavs fan, and to add further insult to injury, it just so happens that Dallas has now helped set a never-bef0re-seen […]

The Dallas Mavericks advanced to the Western Conference Finals last season. It was an unexpected run that might have been a fluke for some, and they might have been correct with that assertion.

In what was a true back-and-forth affair, the Sacramento Kings were ultimately downed by the Dallas Mavericks Wednesday evening by a final score of 123-119.

The Dallas Mavericks appeared to be on the fast track to success, as evidenced by their run to the 2022 Western Conference Finals that eventually ended in a five-game series defeat to the Golden State Warriors.

There’s no shortage of blame to go around for this disastrous Dallas Mavericks’ season: their squishy defense, iffy chemistry, injuries to key players, Jalen Brunson’s dad. But the one place where Mavs’ owner Mark Cuban isn’t willing to pass the blame is to Jason Kidd, the Mavericks’ embattled head coach. In an unplanned media availability […]
