In the span of barely a week, the Mavericks have gone from under .500 to a top-five seed in the Western Conference. And what’s really amazing is Luka Dončić is back on the MVP radar. Should he ever have been off it? That’s another story. But for now, most analysts have Dončić third in the […]
The year 2022 wasn’t all that bad. Sure, COVID-19 was still around, but it didn’t hound our existence every waking moment. The stock market wasn’t great, but it could have been worse given inflation and other economic indicators. And the future looks much brighter as every market correction in history has been followed by an […]
Luka Doncic has ascended to such greatness that the 35-point triple-double he put up in Thursday’s 129-114 triumph over the Houston Rockets seemed almost pedestrian. That triple-double – which also included 12 rebounds and 13 assists – pales in comparison to the historic 60-point, 21-rebound, 10-assist gem Doncic produced during Tuesday’s overtime victory against the […]
Jason Kidd asked for it — and he got it. Before Thursday’s game against the Houston Rockets, the Dallas Mavericks’ coach said he asked his team to give Luka Doncic some help, and added that it wasn’t fair to Doncic for them to keep relying on their superstar point guard to manufacture a superhuman effort […]
The days are passing, but the buzz about Luka Dončić and his amazing 60-point triple double continues to echo through the NBA. It’s been such a hot topic that we may have understated one rather large fact: the play that sent the game into overtime works about as often as a 15-year-old cleans their room. […]
If you were at American Airlines Center to witness Luka Dončić’s 60-point game, congratulations. You were a part of history. If you weren’t, don’t fret. You never know – and, well, no one ever really knows – what the magical No. 77 will do for his encore. Yes, the odds of seeing another 60-point triple-double […]
OK, so it’s probably too soon for another statue in front of American Airlines Center, right? That being the case, maybe we just use 60 blue lights to illuminate the number “60” on the side of the building. Or get a floor-to-roof photo of the free-throw follow shot that will go down in Maverick history. […]
When you think about the sheer enormity of what happened Tuesday night, there’s no way to process it. Teams leading by nine or more points with under 35 seconds to play in NBA games were 13,884-and-0 over the last 20 seasons. Until Luka. The things that had to happen for the Mavericks to salvage a […]
The way New York Knick coach Tom Thibodeau describes it, guard Jalen Brunson has the blueprint on how to become an NBA player. Play hard, stay focused on the task at hand, and continue being solid as a rock. When Thibodeau was an assistant coach with the Knicks and Brunson’s dad – Rick Brunson – […]
When the Mavericks were down 112-103 with under 33 seconds to go Tuesday night, their chances of beating the New York Knicks were too tiny to calculate. We were reminded, however, to never tell Luka Dončić the odds. A heavy dose of crunch-time execution and a dash of luck at the end got the Mavericks […]
