The Mavericks have posted some rather impressive defensive numbers over the past two games, giving up an average up only 68 points during the home-stand. Last night the Mavs gave a franchise record-low 60 points against the Kings and held them to franchise record-low 25.6% shooting percentage. Neither the Bucks or Kings are championship …

As we’ve come to expect over the past few years, this regular season edition of Mavs/Celtics felt much more like the playoffs, although the home crowd didn’t get into until late in the 4th quarter. There was a defensive intensity, dramatic shots, and of course Dirk hitting the improbable game winner with his tongue hanging …

After arguably two of the worst games of his career, Dirk Nowitzki responded on Tuesday night in typical Dirk fashion, putting up 18 points and 7 rebounds, on 9/10 shooting from the floor and the Mavs were a +42 with Nowitzki on the floor. For the first time really all season, his patented one-legged-fade-away was …

It’s no secret that the Mavericks have struggled with the New Orleans Hornets over the past few seasons. A lot of that had to do with Chris Paul and David West, so with those two players no longer suiting up for the Hornets, I felt the Mavs stood a much better shot entering Saturday night’s …

Several adjectives could used to describe last night’s game, including “weird.” The Mavs outrebounded the Spurs, 52-32, yet lost by 20 and managed only 71 points. The Spurs shot 48.5% from behind the three-point line, yet shot under 40% from the field. On top of that, they shot only 56% from the free throw line. …

Dirk Nowitzki appeared in his 1,000th game in a Mavericks uniform, the only uniform he has ever played in. Dirk is currently third-longest tenured player with one team. Only Kobe Bryant and Timmy Duncan have been with their teams longer. During that 1,000 game the big German has scored nearly 23,000 points (22,947 to be …

Perhaps it’s the fact they share an alma mater, but for some reason I can’t help but think of Jerry Stackhouse when I see Vince Carter in a Mavs uniform. Since his signing, I’ve been struggling to see how Vinsanity fits on this particular roster, but after a relatively strong showing last night, I began …

Mavs fans could have saved themselves time, and a lot of pain, had they simply tuned in for the last 5 minutes of Sunday night’s game against Minnesota. With 5:08 left to play in the game, the Mavs were in the midst of a 10-0 run, had just pulled in an offensive rebound, and Dirk …

It’s being widely reported that the Mavs have reached an agreement with Yi Jianlian. It’s not a terrible move, but it does reek of some of the moves orchestrated by the Mavs during the Nelly Ball days. Wang Zhi-Zhi anyone? Yi has had stints with MIL, the Nets and, last year, with the Wizards. He …

Perhaps I’m the only MFFL out there who is not particularly concerned with the Mavs’ 0-3 start. Before the season started, before we lost Chandler and JJ, I would have figured we would lose to Miami and Oklahoma City, simply because those two teams are talented and out for revenge. I did not expect the …
