Four games is normally the equivalent of 1/20th of an NBA season. It’s a little more than that this season, with the schedule condensed to 72 games instead of 82. Even so, four games is roughly the same as NFL teams having played one game. So overreacting should not be an option. Still, it’s disturbing […]
There’s no place like home, but this wasn’t the home the Mavericks are used to. They were at American Airlines Center for their home opener and for the most part, the arena was empty. They say a cavernous, vacant gym can mess with a player’s depth perception when it comes to shooting. Maybe that had […]
As beautiful as the Dallas Mavericks’ 51-point win over the Los Angeles Clippers was three days ago, what happened Wednesday night against the Charlotte Hornets was the complete opposite. In two words, coach Rick Carlisle described the 118-99 loss to the Hornets at American Airlines Center as an “ugly night.” An ugly night that dropped […]

Taking stock after three games, five days and zero home-cooked meals, the Mavericks know that things could be worse. Yes, they had two clunkers to start the westward three-game trip. But they finished it with a show-us-your-resolve bashing of the Los Angeles Clippers. So they come home with a 1-2 record headed into the home […]
Three games into his new gig with his new team, Josh Richardson has already shown why the Dallas Mavericks made acquiring him in the offseason such a high priority. Richardson has been very effective on both ends of the floor as he’s not only kept defenses honest with his ability to score, but he’s also […]
Clearly, the Mavericks took coach Rick Carlisle’s words to heart. After he questioned the toughness his team showed in the Christmas Day debacle against the Los Angeles Lakers, the Mavericks rebounded with an effort against LA’s other team that was gritty, hard-nosed, persistent and any other tenacious-sounding word you want to use.
