    Things did not go well for Dallas on the big stage Christmas night, getting routed by the defending champs 138-115 thanks to 35 second-chance points for LA. No time to sulk, however. The team runs it back Sunday afternoon against the 2-0 Clippers.

  18. Dallas Mavericks 2020-2021 Season Predictions ft. Enyi Nduka | Dallas Prospect LIVE

    Let's get down to business and discuss the Mavs in 2020-2021!

  19. Josh Richardson is a perfect fit in Dallas | Mavs profile

    Last season the Dallas Mavericks touted the most efficient offense in NBA history. While part of that may be a byproduct of this current era, the fact remains that Luka Dončić and company could score against the best of them. What they lacked, and what limited how far they could ultimately go,...

  20. Josh Green Profile | Prospect Journalism

    The Dallas Mavericks found themselves at a crossroads entering the offseason. Although they’d built the most efficient offense in NBA history, spearheaded by 21-year-old wonderboy and MVP finalist, Luka Dončić, their season amounted to the Western Conference’s seventh-seed and a first-round exit....

  21. Tyrell Terry profile | Prospect Journalism

    The label stuck to Tyrell Terry like an old sticker, tearing away in strips as he struggled to remove it from the experts’ assessment of his game. “TOO SMALL,” it read in faded black Sharpie ink. NBA teams and draft experts alike told the Stanford sharpshooter he should go back to school rather...

  22. Mavs Free Agency Talk with Saad Yousuf of The Athletic

    Saad Yousuf of The Athletic stops by to talk Dallas Mavericks free agency, and even a little bit about the 2020 NBA Draft. The new NBA season is only a month away, people, so I'm gonna need you to buckle up. We're in for a show!

  23. Mavs go all in on athletic perimeter defenders in 2020 NBA Draft & TRADE Seth Curry?!

    The message is clear: Dallas prioritized perimeter defense above all in this draft and improved significantly on that end. Shooting takes a bit of a hit in the immediacy but the belief is that Luka, and KP when he’s ready, create such space and good looks for the rest of the team that...

  24. Mavs fall in Game 6 despite Luka's 38-9-9 | Game 6 Post Game Show

    It was a resilient showing for Dallas, not just in Game 6 but throughout the series. Luka Doncic has emerged as a bonafide superstar, and, though questions remains about Kristaps Porzingis after his latest injury, Dallas's future looks damn bright.

  25. Kristaps Porzingis may well be done for the season

    With the Mavericks trailing the Clippers 3-2 in the first round of the NBA playoffs, Kristaps Porzingis's health has never been more important to the Mavericks. Unfortunately, it's looking less and less likely he'll make a return this season.

  26. Marcus Morris knew exactly what he was doing

    This series has been physical and tense throughout but what the Clippers enforcer attempted numerous times to do to Luka Doncic Tuesday night was reprehensible and demands action from the league.

  27. An unimpressed Shaq: Calm down about Luka Dončić. I've seen this before.

    Is there a wetter blanket for good Mavs vibes these days than Shaq? First criticism of KP and now downplaying Luka's historic performance?

  28. Luka Dončić's MONSTER 43pt triple-double and game winner erases 21pt deficit to stun Clippers

    LUKA LEGEND knots the series at 2 games apiece after 43pts, 17rb, 13ast masterpiece.

  29. Clippers adjustments & physical play slow Dončić and seize control despite Porzingis's 34 & 13

    It was a physical, chippy game, but LA held Luka largely in check as their role players shot the lights out and a cold-shooting first half left Dallas in a hole. Clippers take 2-1 series lead with Game 4 scheduled for Sunday afternoon.

  30. Luka Doncic and Mavs bench scorch Clippers to even series at 1-1 | Game 2 Post Game Show

    In the first half Luka Doncic was sensational, posting 22 points, 7 rebounds, and 6 assists. In the second half, foul trouble limited the Mavs star to just 10 minutes. Luckily, the Dallas bench mob came to play, raining in more than 40 points on 60% shooting from the field to help Dallas even the...

  31. Luka Dončić's record playoff debut not enough as Mavs fall 118-110 | Mavs-Clippers Game 1 Post Game

    Despite controversial Porzingis ejection at the start of the 3rd quarter, Mavs fight til the end behind Luka's NBA record playoff debut 42 points.

  32. Mavs-Clippers Game 1 Preview ft. Enyi Nduka of Mavs Fastbreak

    On the eve of the first Dallas Mavericks playoff game in more than 3 years, DDP & Enyi Nduka discuss the matchup, the x-factors, and the Mavericks' odds as they go against one of the teams most likely to bring home the Larry O'Brien trophy this year.

  33. Mavs playoff preview vs Los Angeles Clippers ft. Big Game James of Silver&Blue Nation

    With the Dallas Mavericks back in the playoffs for the first time in 3 years, and featuring a new young, unproven core, they'll have much to prove as they square off with perhaps the biggest championship favorite, the Los Angeles Clippers. Big Game James of Silver&Blue Nation drops in to preview...

  34. Jalen Rose: Chill on Luka Dončić hype. James Harden and Russell Westbrook are already great.

    This is hardly Jalen's first terrible take, but it is the first time I'll bother acknowledging it. This shouldn't take long.

  35. Mavs lose heartbreaker to Blazers on controversial last second Damian Lillard charge call

    Mavs KP: 36pts, 6rb, (12/17 FG) Luka: 25pts, 10ast, 8rb THJ: 24pts, 4rb, 3ast DFS: 15pts, 4rb Burke: 12pts Kleber: 12pts Portland Trail Blazers Dame: 61pts, 8ast, 5rb Melo: 26pts, 8rb, 2ast Collins: 11pts, 8rb Trent: 11pts

  36. Comparing Luka Dončić's 2019-2020 season against Dirk Nowitzki's MVP campaign

    Dirk Nowitzki is one of the great players in NBA history and unquestionably the greatest player to ever wear a Maverick jersey but with sophomore sensation Luka Dončić setting the world on fire and posting mind-boggling stats, some already believe he could be challenging the Mavs GOAT for his crown.

  37. Shorthanded Mavs rally back from down 22 to topple Jazz 122-114 | Down on the Block

    Mavs THJ: 27pts (11/15 FG, 3/6 3FG) Curry: 22pts (8/11FG, 4/6 3FG) Boban: 20pts, 9rb, 2blk (7/11 FG) Barea: 18pts, 8ast (7/13 FG) Burke: 14pts, 4ast, 2stl (2/2 3FG) Jazz Clarkson: 18pts (5/7 3FG) Tucker: 17pts Mudiay: 14pts Gobert: 9pts, 5rb, 16 min Conley: 9pts, 16 min (3/4 3FG)

  40. Shaq still thinks Kristaps Porzingis needs to post up more. He's averaging 30 in the bubble.

    Shaquille O'Neal was one of the most dominant forces in the history of the National Basketball Association -a fact he likes to make frequently. His assessment of Kristaps Porzingis is also stuck in the past. Allow me to explain.

  41. Mavericks scratch and claw to claim OT win over Kings 114-110

    Oh hey, we do know what defense is. Wait, did we just win a CLUTCH GAME?!

  42. Abysmal 3rd quarter dooms Mavs vs lowly Suns. Is this real life?
