There was only one NBA game on Thursday night, and it was, perhaps, not too inspiring a matchup on paper.

There’s no denying that Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic has been one of, if not the best player in the entire league early on. It’s also true, however, that it’s highly improbable that he will be able to carry the Mavs by himself. In order for this team to succeed this season, Luka’s teammates need […]

There’s a reason why Tony Snell used to get avoided by managers in the realm of fantasy basketball. Although he played significant minutes in the NBA, he was always a threat to lay eggs across the board. The Dallas Mavericks might have a Tony Snell situation on the team, with Reggie Bullock putting up a Snellesque […]

It’s nice and all to see Luka Doncic drop another 40-point triple-double, but the Dallas Mavericks star himself wasn’t too satisfied with his performance.

And perhaps this win could spur the Mavs into […]

The Golden State Warriors lost to the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday, but clearly, it’s not for the lack of trying from Stephen Curry and co. In fact, Steph even went as far as to campaigning for Spencer Dinwiddie’s ejection in the game just to get every advantage they can. To recall, Dinwiddie was thrown out […]

Despite having arguably the best player in the world right now, the Dallas Mavericks are currently outside the playoff picture in the Western Conference. If you ask Charles Barkley, the Mavs are not even going to win an NBA championship so long as Luka Doncic continues to carry the type of burden he has on […]

Dallas Mavericks point guard Spencer Dinwiddie saw his name in the news earlier in the month. Back on Nov. 4, when the Mavericks played the Toronto Raptors, a teammate told Dinwiddie that NBA referee Tony Brothers referred to the point guard using swear words after Dinwiddie picked up a technical foul.  This story has now […]

After sitting out the second half of the 2021-22 NBA season with the New York Knicks and dedicating the entire offseason to recovering from an ailing knee injury and getting back into playing shape, Kemba Walker was officially waived by the Detroit Pistons. With Walker now set to join the Dallas Mavericks, his long-awaited return […]

The Dallas Mavericks haven’t been at their best to begin the 2022-23 campaign, as they have scuffled to a 9-10 start after losing four straight games. Dallas has, for better or for worse, merely been the Luka Doncic show, as the Mavs have placed an unenviably heavy burden on their superstar’s shoulders. While Doncic has […]

If one thing is clear about the Dallas Mavericks roster, it’s that it is far too dependent on Luka Doncic.

According to […]

One of the biggest criticisms of Luka Doncic’s game is his isolation-heavy playstyle. Much like LeBron James’ teams before, the Dallas Mavericks run their offense mostly through the star. That often leads to Doncic hoisting up step-back threes or finding his open teammates off of pick-and-roll actions. For some, though, this style of play is […]

Christian Wood was the biggest acquisition of the Dallas Mavericks in the off-season. The former Rockets center was supposed to be the second-in-command to Luka Doncic. 20 games into the season, though, and it seems as if Jason Kidd is more interested in seeing Wood ride the pine instead of playing when it matters. That […]

Chicago Bulls star Zach LaVine voiced his frustrations after being benched by head coach Billy Donovan late in the fourth quarter during a recent loss to the Orlando Magic. While LaVine apparently patched things up with Donovan, the Bulls’ 8-11 record and LaVine’s own struggles have some wondering if the team will look to go […]

Jae Crowder has not played a single minute this season as his holdout with the Phoenix Suns rages on.

A reunion might be in the works for the Dallas Mavericks and Jae Crowder. The disgruntled Phoenix Suns forward has asked for a trade from his current team already. With Dallas in desperate help for Doncic, Crowder’s two-way prowess would be a godsend for this team. However, as Sean Deveney reported, there’s a bit of […]

Luka Doncic once again put on a superhuman performance against the Boston Celtics. Once again, his efforts weren’t enough to carry the Dallas Mavericks to victory. Doncic got little support from the rest of the Mavs starters as the other four combined for just 31 points compared to Luka’s 42 on the night. The next […]
