Although the Dallas Mavericks are down two superstars, there are two things coach Jason Kidd acknowledged that his team can always control. Their energy and their effort. “We always shoot for 82 (games) with the energy and effort,” Kidd said. “That’s one of the things we talk about internally is what can you control. “You […]

The Mavericks found out Sunday that fourth quarter magic is a sword that swings both ways. The Denver Nuggets awoke from hibernation, where they had spent much of the first three quarters, and rode Nikola Jokic and Russell Westbrook to a 112-101 victory Sunday afternoon at American Airlines Center. The Mavericks led by 19 points […]

The Mavericks did a heroic job against Portland on snow day of overcoming a 10-point deficit in the final 4:30. But here’s the key to that situation: Don’t get in it again. “Definitely,” Naji Marshall said Saturday after practice. “Nobody wants to be in that position. But the circumstances were the circumstances. I’m grateful that […]

Legendary MavsTV broadcaster Mark Followill proclaimed “seats for soldiers magic” on air last night when P.J. Washington drained a corner three to snatch the 112-109 lead with less than two minutes to go, erasing an 11-point deficit minutes earlier. Followill’s enthusiasm for the momentum swing was matched equally by the United States military heroes occupying […]

Thursday truly was a Jaden Hardy party hosted by the Dallas Mavericks’ third-year guard. Hardy had his hands in a number of things that positively affected the Mavs during their dramatic 117-111 come-from-behind victory over the Portland Trail Blazers. For Hardy, the celebration started when he energized the Mavs by scoring 14 of his season-high […]

As the Mavericks tried to run down the Portland Trail Blazers Thursday night, two plays summed up how critical Spencer Dinwiddie is, particularly during this time when injuries are ravaging the backcourt. The first one came early, when the Mavericks were down by 10 points late in the first half and in danger of falling […]

For the lion’s share of Thursday night, the Dallas Mavericks couldn’t crack through the wall the Portland Trail Blazers put in their path. Then, with less than five minutes remaining, the Mavs came out roaring like a lion. Trailing, 109-99, with 4:33 left, the Mavs switched to another gear on both ends of the court […]

Given the injuries to their superstar players, it’s no wonder the Dallas Mavericks’ role players have often had to step outside the box and take on different roles. “When you look at (forward) P. J. (Washington), I think he said it,” coach Jason Kidd said. “Give this group some time. This is a new group. […]

The dynamics of an NBA team are complicated sometimes. Like when you’re two best players are sidelined indefinitely. That has a major impact not just on the court, where making up for their loss requires a community effort. It also impacts the locker room, where voices need to be heard, but often it’s not logical […]

When Dorian Finney-Smith joined the Dallas Mavericks in 2016, he was an undrafted 23 year old rookie out of Florida whose stout defense was his main calling card. By the time Finney-Smith left the Mavs – via a trade to the Brooklyn Nets on Feb. 6, 2023 – he was a seasoned veteran who had […]

We don’t know how the Mavericks will handle the incoming snowstorm this week, but we know one thing. They haven’t forgotten how to make it rain. It had been a while, but the Mavericks sharpened up their three-point shooting eyes on Tuesday night, pouring in an impressive 18-of-38 tries from beyond the arc as they […]

 No, the Dallas Mavericks don’t want anyone to have a pity party for them. Despite all the injuries that have made it more difficult for them to win games, the Mavs believe they have enough talented players on their deep roster to continue winning games until superstar guards Luka Dončić and Kyrie Irving are well […]

Home is where the heart is. And that’s fine. Jason Kidd isn’t much worried about the Mavericks’ heart. He knows that’s not a problem. But right now, as his team begins a four-game stay for what he hopes will be some home cooking at American Airlines Center, the Mavericks’ coach is more concerned about health. […]

MEMPHIS – It’s been an up and down season for Dallas Mavericks forward/center Maxi Kleber, with the downs attributable primarily to injuries and an illness. It has added up to Kleber being unable to get the type of consistency in his game that he wants. “Being injured and in and out (of the lineup) is […]

MEMPHIS – Not long after the Dallas Mavericks’ 119-104 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies at FedEx Forum on Monday night, coach Jason Kidd found himself addressing yet another injury to yet another key player on his roster. This time it was center Daniel Gafford who the injury bug bit after he sprained his left ankle […]

MEMPHIS – What Jaden Hardy accomplished Friday against the Cleveland Cavaliers is what he hopes to accomplish Monday night when the Dallas Mavericks face the Memphis Grizzlies at FedEx Forum. Hardy tallied 17 points on 6-of-11 shots against the Cavs. The Mavs’ third-year guard also was 2-of-4 on three-pointers, and contributed three rebounds and three […]

For the second time this season, the Mavericks are on a four-game losing streak. After the first one, they rattled off 11 wins in their next 12 games and set themselves up with a solid opening quarter of the season. This one is a little different. After the 30-4 Cleveland Cavaliers knocked off the Mavericks […]

 Graham Lawson, the Dallas Mavericks’ Kid Reporter for Friday’s game against the Cleveland Cavaliers, made quite an impression with coach Jason Kidd. From the time Kidd walked into the room for his pre-game press conference and noticed Lawson sitting on the front row, he was smitten with the nine-year old from Irving who had his […]

The Cleveland Cavaliers have a long way to go to win their first NBA championship with somebody other than LeBron James leading them. But anybody doubting them as legitimate title contenders this season should reference Friday’s dominance at American Airlines Center. Granted, it was against the Mavericks missing their superstar backcourt of Luka Dončić and […]
