After a huge OT road win in Brooklyn, the Mavs headed to Dallas for a 5-game homestand beginning with a back to back. To Mavericks began this five game stretch against the Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led OKC Thunder. Shai was spectacular in this game, finishing with 38 points. The Mavericks led by as much as 16 points in this contest. With …
The Mavericks started the season opener off hot, as they built an early lead against the Phoenix Suns. Suns fans brought the playoff-like energy to the Footprint Center. And can you blame them? If my team ended their season losing in such an embarrassing fashion, I’d get up for this game as well. I don’t think I need to remind …
Dirk Nowitzki became the first player to have his number retired by the German Basketball Federation. This is a first for any national federation to retire a jersey number. Within the same calendar year, Nowitzki has both his number 41 and 14 retired by the Dallas Mavericks and German Basketball Federation respectively. Dirk, of course, wore number 14 as a …

For the first time in GM Nico Harrison’s tenure, the Mavericks own their first round draft pick. Dallas, of course, sending their 2021 1st round pick (Keon Johnson later selected) and 2023 1st round draft pick in the deal to acquire Kristaps Porzingis in January of 2019. The question still remains whether Dallas opts to retain their pick, or to …
The Mavericks ended the year on a disappointing note, falling short of that elusive Larry O’Brien Trophy. This season, however, was a huge step in the right direction for this franchise. The 2021-22 season started off.. well, pretty rocky. At a 16-18 record, Coach Kidd became the scapegoat for a team that didn’t look ready to make a push for …
The Mavericks find themselves in all too familiar territory – down 0-1. Maybe it’s just the optimism that I admittedly have too much of at times.

The Mavs went into Game 4 looking to build off of their success in Game 3 of the series.
