Now that they’ve finally grabbed sole possession of the No. 4 seed in the Western Conference, the Dallas Mavericks are in a why-stop-there mode. As the Mavs (46-29) glanced at the standings after Sunday’s 114-100 win over the Utah Jazz, they noticed they’re only two games behind the No. 3-seed Golden State Warriors (48-27) with […]

While the glitz and glamor of the Academy Awards were happening on the West Coast, the Dallas Mavericks and Utah Jazz staged their own Oscar-worthy performance Sunday night at American Airlines Center. With all eyes on this high-stakes battle for sole possession of the Western Conference’s No. 4-seed, the Mavs rolled out the red carpet […]

If this was a playoff preview, it was like watching the trailer for a movie with most of the villains edited out. The Utah Jazz were missing two starters – center Rudy Gobert and shooting guard Bojan Bogdanovic – plus backup big man Hassan Whiteside for Sunday’s visit to American Airlines Center. It certainly took […]

Sometimes, the takeaways from a game are better used on lookaheads to the next game. This is one of those occasions. The Mavericks shot the ball like 5th graders in their 116-95 loss at Minnesota on Friday night, although 5th graders may take offense at that comparison. And that’s enough about takeaways from Friday. Instead, […]

Dallas Mavericks small forward Sterling Brown entered the NBA’s health and safety protocols on Friday morning. Obviously, no one knows for sure how long Brown will be sidelined. But coach Jason Kidd said Brown wouldn’t be flying back to Dallas on the team’s charter. Brown became the 12th member of the Mavs to enter the […]

As anybody in the construction business will tell you, the cost of building supplies has skyrocketed. Apparently the Mavericks want to do their part to keep prices down, judging from the way they laid enough bricks to build a skyscraper Friday night. If you took away Luka Dončić – which the Minnesota Timberwolves tried to […]

Maybe not, but it sure looks like the most likely scenario as just over two weeks […]

Though much can still change – this is the NBA, after all – the Mavericks appear to be on a collision course with the Utah Jazz in the first round of the playoffs. That’s what makes Friday’s visit to Minnesota so intriguing. Luka Dončić has had some interesting exchanges with the Timberwolves’ Patrick Beverley – […]

The brooms were out in full force Wednesday night after the Dallas Mavericks swept the Houston Rockets off the American Airlines Center floor, winning 110-91 in impressive fashion. The Mavs wound up sweeping the season series from the Rockets, 4-0, for the first time since the 2011-12 season when Jason Kidd was still playing for […]

Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd couldn’t have asked for a better birthday present than what his players presented him with on Wednesday night. On a day Kidd celebrated his 49th birthday, not only did the Mavs defeat the Houston Rockets, 110-91, at American Airlines Center. But the stars aligned to the point that the team […]

Even when he misses a game, Luka Dončić remains a hot topic. The Mavericks’ superstar point guard sat out Wednesday’s visit by the Houston Rockets to American Airlines Center, ostensibly to let a sore right ankle rest. But it was just as important to let every other part of his body rest, too. With only […]

With 10 games remaining, the Mavs own a 15-12 record against the other 11 teams that would be in the playoffs […]

While it wasn’t a long absence for Reggie Bullock, when he returned Monday after missing four games tending to a personal matter, he wasted no time getting back to business. The 6-6 forward had his usual spot in the starting lineup waiting for him and he celebrated with 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting – all […]

The Mavericks didn’t necessarily rid themselves of worrying about the play-in tournament with their 110-108 victory over Minnesota on Monday. But they certainly gave themselves some nice wiggle room when it comes to avoiding that annoying exercise that will determine the last two playoff teams in the Western Conference. The win put the Mavericks at […]

Dallas Mavericks coach Jason Kidd isn’t a fan of being named the NBA Coach of the Year. “That award is dangerous, because that award leads to getting fired the next year,” Kidd said. “I’ll past on that.” In his first season as the Mavs’ coach, Kidd has led his team to a 44-28 record. That’s […]

When the evening starts with a seldom-seen NBA rain delay, you know some weird stuff is going to happen. When Luka Dončić, one of the NBA’s best scorers and an MVP candidate, has eight turnovers and only five shots go through the net, you get confirmation that the night is going to be strange. Which […]

The Mavericks went 3-2 on their five-game trip that spanned 10 days. It was a journey that came in like the proverbial lion, ended like the docile lamb. Before it started, coach Jason Kidd said that there was one goal on the trip that started in Houston, then skirted the East Coast: “To come back […]
