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 […]

Through all the injuries, illnesses and anything else that cramped the Mavericks’ style before Christmas, they never had a problem putting the ball in the basket, which is kind of the crux of the NBA. So during their recent swoon, the Mavericks’ inability to score has been a head-scratcher. In their last five games, four […]

HOUSTON – Forward Klay Thompson summed up the Dallas Mavericks’ recent difficult journey around the NBA circles after they played four games in six days, and in three different time zones.

HOUSTON – Dallas Mavericks guard Quentin Grimes was able to relive a life-long dream Wednesday night at the Toyota Center when he played his second-ever NBA game in his hometown of Houston. Grimes was born in Houston, was a superstar at The Woodlands College Park High School in suburban Houston where he averaged 29.5 points, […]

HOUSTON – A portion of the game that’s not normally a problem for the Dallas Mavericks wound up being crucial during Wednesday’s 110-99 loss to the Houston Rockets at the Toyota Center. The Mavs committed a whopping 20 turnovers, and the Rockets turned them into 22 points while handing Dallas it’s fourth loss in the […]

  HOUSTON – Times are unfortunately hard for the Dallas Mavericks these days. For the Mavs, injuries are piling up like wood stacked on a bonfire. Especially to key players who are very essential to what the Mavs are trying to accomplish this season. Superstar point guard Luka Dončić has missed the past three games […]

SACRAMENTO – One of the byproducts of having so many players sidelined is that the players who are available are reminded of the old saying “be careful what you wish for.” Every NBA player wants more playing time. But sometimes, you get a reminder that it’s not as easy as it looks to be “the […]

SACRAMENTO – The words “ran out of gas” came up several times as the Mavericks analyzed their 110-100 loss to the Sacramento Kings on Monday night. And Spencer Dinwiddie, who had a season-best 30 points to lead the Mavericks, nailed it when he was asked about missing 80 percent of the starting lineup, which forced […]

SACRAMENTO – As he sat down behind a microphone for his pregame chat with media members, Jason Kidd started as he always does by ticking off the medical report. It was a long sound byte. “Bear with me here,” he said. “Luka, Exum, Lively, Irving, Thompson, Marshall are all out.” That’s six players, 33 percent […]

SACRAMENTO – Quentin Grimes sounded a little like Bill Murray’s character in the great movie Stripes. In the show, after his girlfriend leaves him, Murray utters the famous line: “And then, depression set in.” Except in Grimes’ case, it wasn’t depression he was talking about. The Mavericks’ guard was telling his listeners about dealing in […]

PORTLAND, Ore. – With no Luka Dončić, no Dereck Lively II, no P.J. Washington and no Naji Marshall, you’d assume the Mavericks were going to have to use smoke and mirrors to pull off a win against the Portland Trail Blazers. Well, Mr. Smoke did his part as Kyrie Irving lit the fire for the […]

PORTLAND, Ore. – The Mavericks have leaned on a wide range of scorers for their success this season, but on Saturday, they really had no other choice than to let Kyrie Irving cook and hope for the best. Missing five members (three starters) of their preferred rotation, the Mavericks went to battle against the Portland […]

PORTLAND, Ore. – Sometimes, you have to pay a steep price for doing the right thing. The Mavericks learned that lesson on Saturday when the NBA handed down harsh penalties to Naji Marshall and P.J. Washington for their roles in the fight that broke out with Phoenix’s Jusuf Nurkic Friday night. The league suspending Marshall […]

PHOENIX – If you were giving out a game ball on Friday, it should have gone to Maxi Kleber. The veteran big man wouldn’t necessarily admit it, but he was kind of waiting for a game like this. He had a season-best 15 points and seven rebounds, tying his high water mark for the season. […]

PORTLAND, Ore. – If the Mavericks were going through a schoolyear, and the NBA season certainly resembles a long series of tests, this part of the schedule would be like a mid-term exam. No, they aren’t to the halfway point of the season yet, but it’s going to feel like a major part of this […]

PHOENIX – The Mavericks figured they would have to fight for everything with Luka Dončić sidelined. On Friday against Phoenix, they proved they won’t run away from any such battles. As tempers flared and ejections ensued, the Mavericks showed they don’t mind mixing it up in on-court hostilities and persevered for a 98-89 victory over […]

PHOENIX – Clarity was tough to come by when it comes to the left calf injury that has sidelined Luka Dončić. The Mavericks’ superstar point guard “will be evaluated sometime in the future,” coach Jason Kidd said before the Mavericks opened a four-game trip against the Phoenix Suns Friday night. The Mavericks also played without […]
