The OKC Thunder put an end to the Dallas Mavericks’ season in emphatic fashion on Saturday night, sweeping the defending NBA champions. And despite the inevitable sadness, there was a sense around the Mavs that this season was always about the future for them. No matter what team owner Mark Cuban may claim, the Mavericks never really put their best [...]
Lamar Odom’s brief and bumpy ride with the Dallas Mavericks has come to an abrupt end. The Mavericks and Odom spent Easter Sunday working out a parting, according to sources close to the situation, that frees the struggling Odom to leave the team immediately without actually being released. “The Mavericks and I have mutually agreed that it’s in the best [...]
Dallas Mavericks point guard Jason Kidd has been fined $25,000 for public criticism of game officials, the NBA announced Wednesday. Kidd complained after Monday’s 95-91 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, saying that Dallas doesn’t get the respect from referees it deserves as defending NBA champion. “We don’t get the benefit of the whistle,” Kidd said. “I don’t think we’re [...]
Dallas Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle expressed disappointment with Lamar Odom’s ongoing absence from the team and bluntly stated that the forward will face scrutiny upon his return, from owner Mark Cuban to the players in the locker room.

In addition, every other departed member of the championship squad will get his ring at AAC. New Jersey (DeShawn Stevenson), New York (Tyson Chandler), Denver (Corey Brewer) and the LA Clippers (Caron Butler) all will visit Dallas later in the season for regularly scheduled games. Cuban, by the way, said before Monday’s game with the Los Angeles Lakers that the [...]
The NBA didn’t do it so Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban took scheduling the traditional championship trip to the White House into his own hands. The Mavs will visit President Barack Obama next Monday prior to a two-game road trip at Detroit and Boston. Cuban said he was appalled when the NBA released the condensed, 66-game schedule after the lockout [...]
Last year Jason Terry had the audacity to get the Larry O’Brien Trophy etched into bicep. Last year Tyson Chandler and assistant coach Dwane Casey elevated the Dallas defense to elite levels. Last year Dallas raced to a blistering 24-5 record before stumbling over Dirk Nowtizki’s twisted knee and limping into the playoffs with a three seed. Last year the [...]
The defending NBA champion Dallas Mavericks are 0-2 to start the season, losing in ugly fashion both nights (by a combined 33 points.) The defense and offense look out of sync, and it’s clear that the dramatically-altered Mavs roster has yet to build the necessary chemistry to ensure success. Dirk Nowitzki didn’t mince words when talking about what his team [...]
