The Dallas Mavericks may have lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Saturday, but fans are looking at the positive side and celebrating Kemba Walker’s big game that allowed them to compete.

[…]

Luka Doncic is capable of a great many things.

Entering the league, however, there were concerns […]

Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic wants to make one thing clear: he’s not surprised by his massive poster on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers.

It looks like Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncic is developing a penchant for posterizing opponents. Just look at what he did on Friday against the Portland Trail Blazers.

The NBA has seen its fair share of great passes over the years. On Wednesday against the Cleveland Cavaliers, though, Dallas Mavericks superstar Luka Doncic added another entry to that.

Dallas Mavericks fans are well aware of Luka Doncic’s penchant for getting penalized by referees. The Slovenian wunderkind has been amongst the league leaders in technical fouls over the last three seasons and has been suspended because of it in the past. It’s one of the few items on his shortlist of weaknesses. But one […]

There is no doubt that Dallas Mavericks star Luka Doncuc is an MVP candidate. He is the be-all and end-all of the Mavs, who will go as far as where the Slovenian takes them. Doncic has been consistently putting up scintillating numbers for the Mavs, who are barely hovering above .500, but definitely would have […]

Luka Doncic, after a night off during the Dallas Mavericks’ Saturday night drubbing at the hands of the Chicago Bulls, was back to his usual superstar exploits on Monday night. Doncic tallied 38 points, 11 rebounds, and eight assists to lead the Mavs to a 121-114 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. As is usually […]

Luka Doncic was not going to let the Dallas Mavericks lose three games in a row Monday night, as he towed the Mavs to a 121-114 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder at home.

The Dallas Mavericks have been mediocre in the clutch this season. That might surprise a lot of people, considering Luka Doncic’s reputation as a clutch player prior to this season. Despite Doncic’s presence, though, Dallas has struggled to put away teams in the final moments of the game (their game against the Toronto Raptors comes […]

Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks have a free throw problem, and once again, it has cost them a win.

The Denver Nuggets have now lost three straight games, their latest defeat coming at the hands of Luka Doncic and the Dallas Mavericks.

Prior to Tuesday’s game against the Denver Nuggets, the Dallas Mavericks had not won a game when Luka Doncic scored less than 30 points. They only have a few of those instances when Doncic didn’t light up the scoreboard, but it’s definitely a concerning trend for the franchise. Fortunately, however, they were finally able to […]

Russell Westbrook may have normalized it, but tallying a triple-double remains an absurdly difficult feat.

There were plenty of excitement when the Dallas Mavericks acquired Kristaps Porzingis to partner with Luka Doncic back in 2019. While Porzingis and Doncic proved to be a lethal pick-and-pop duo at the beginning of their partnership, Porzingis ended up being marginalized in the Mavs offense the more Doncic ascended into the superstar he is […]

The Dallas Mavericks’ play to begin the year has been uneven despite Luka Doncic’s ridiculously torrid start to the 2022-23 campaign.

As part of the Dallas Cowboys’ recruiting work on Odell Beckham Jr., Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs brought him to the Dallas Mavericks’ game against the Phoenix Suns on Monday.

Just because Brunson […]

Luka Doncic’s carry job with the Dallas Mavericks has been absolutely insane to watch this season. The offense runs through Doncic alone, and without him, it seems like the operation completely fails. The fans have started to get more and more frustrated with Dallas’ supporting cast, and the star has also shown the same frustration. […]

The Dallas Mavericks should look a little bit different come the trade deadline.

For now, it is […]
