Whew. I’m still pretty worked up about that game last night, and I’m sure most of you feel the same way. I mean, who could blame you? Double overtime on the road against one of the best teams in basketball, on a night when Dirk Nowitzki’s back ached, and when Derrick Rose hit an overtime […]
The Mavs have played some really good teams this season, but the Bulls might be the most star-studded. The biggest question about tonight’s game: Which team has the most All-Stars? Pau Gasol played for a different team last season and Derrick Rose hardly played at all. But they’re both with the Bulls this season, and […]
You don’t get much time to celebrate in this league. After earning their biggest win of the season, the Mavericks have a quick 24-hour reprieve to get ready for the Philadelphia 76ers. It doesn’t matter what their record is, just like for Dallas it doesn’t matter what happened in Toronto last night. All that matters […]
Tonight’s game is going to be a real test for the Mavs, but not in the way a game against the Warriors or Raptors, two upcoming opponents, will be. Monday’s loss to the Pacers showed once again that no team in the league can be taken lightly, even if that team is missing its five […]
Depleted teams are desperate, and desperate teams can be dangerous. That’s exactly the case for the Indiana Pacers tonight. The 2013-14 Eastern Conference runners-up to Miami, the Pacers have already been without Paul George, George Hill, David West, and CJ Watson for the entire season. The first three were starters on last season’s No. 1 […]
We’re going to witness a bit of history tonight. Both Dirk Nowitzki and Kobe Bryant are top-10 scorers ever. It will be the first time in years that two top-10 players share the floor. Combined, the two have amassed nearly 60,000 points. Just insane. There’s much more to tonight’s game, though, than just the historical […]
The Mavericks capped off their four-game homestand in convincing fashion. After outscoring their opponents by a combined 67 points in the last two games of the set, Dallas now has the highest point differential in the Western Conference and the highest net rating in all of basketball. Dallas played like a juggernaut after falling behind […]
As the Mavericks head into the third part of their four-game homestand, the opponent which awaits them is one that, beneath the record, is one of the most interesting teams in the league. The Philadelphia 76ers are win-less so far in 2014-15, but the roster is being built in such a way that we might […]
The season is still young, but even at this point one thing is clear: These aren’t the Kings you think they are. Sacramento is off to a blistering start to the 2014-15 season, sitting at 5-2 after seven games. Including tonight’s tilt against the Mavericks, every single game the Kings have played up to this […]
It’s a 2011 Finals rematch tonight, only with a ton of new faces involved. Tyson Chandler and JJ Barea will face the Heat for the first time with the Mavs since Dallas won the title four seasons ago. Meanwhile, Miami is off to a solid start in Year One without LeBron James. The 4-2 Heat […]
