Mavs lose physical, emotional battle to OKC
DALLAS The Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday took on the team their coach, Rick Carlisle, labels "the best in the West," and did so without their Hall-of-Fame-bound point guard, their starting center and the reigning NBA Sixth Man of the Year.
Little wonder, then, that Carlisle referred to the Mavs who were able to play as his "troops." Because in this rematch of...

Mavs come a long way since Christmas Day
Posting a 13-5 record during the month of January has the Dallas Mavericks atop the Southwest Division standings. Not bad for a team that has played well despite injuries to Vince Carter, Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd.
"If you would have asked me at Christmas and the day after, I would have said we're in trouble," Nowitzki told The Dallas Morning News after Monday night...

Mavs want Haywood mad
San Antonio Spurs fans should note that the Brendan Haywood they saw on Sunday is not the real Brendan Haywood. The guy that had five blocks and held Tim Duncan to just 12 points is usually bumbling around trying not to get in anyone’s way.
When the Mavs lost Tyson Chandler, everyone knew their post game was going to suffer, but they’ve actually improved their defensive numbers...

Mavs need shot therapy on West Coast
If there's been an uglier NBA game during the shot-clock era, it's not coming to mind right now. The Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers have played a lot of close games over the past 32 years, but on Monday they looked more like two really bad Eastern Conference teams (from the 80s) assaulting the rim with brick after brick.
I suppose someone could view this as a celebration...

Mavs v Bucks Preview
The Milwaukee Bucks (4-6) will take on the defending champion Dallas Mavericks (6-5) tonight in Dallas.
Dallas has struggled a bit this year, lost some key players (Tyson Chandler most notably). But they are getting it together. They just spent some time with Obama, and they are coming off back to back road victories, without J Kidd. A lot of savvy veterans on this squad, and...

Ugh: On Jermaine O’Neal and the Boston Celtics centers
Let me get this out of the way first: I once considered Jermaine O’Neal soft, but now I admire his toughness. He returned from surgery last season, played his ass off in the postseason, and charged on against the Knicks and Heat despite a broken wrist. There will always be a spot in my heart for O’Neal because I understand how much he sacrificed. He genuinely has one...

Mahinmi a pleasant surprise thus far for Mavs
The news had barely been a few hours old about the pending end of the 2011 NBA lockout before fans of the reigning NBA champion Dallas Mavericks wondered if owner Mark Cuban and the rest of the powers that be would bring back the likes of JJ Barea, Tyson Chandler and DeShawn Stevenson for a shot at a repeat.
Well, all three integral members of last season's championship-winning...

With the franchise now knows as the Washington Wizards, and at one point known as the Chicago Packers, Zephyrs, or Baltimore, Capitol and Washington Bullets, I thought it might be fun to create a word cloud that showed the names of anyone who’s ever worn the teams’ jersey with their names relative to the length at which they were on the team.

Mavericks finally starting to come together
It's odd that it takes perhaps the most talented team in the Western Conference to remind the Dallas Mavericks they aren't so bad after all. The Mavs faced the Oklahoma City Thunder for the second time in five days Monday, and this time they finished the deal with a dominating 100-87 win at American Airlines Center.
It's not like a 1-5 start would've doomed the Mavs' season, but...

Video: Brendan Haywood helps Russell Westbrook get off the schneid
It had been a rough 24 hours for Russell Westbrook. The Oklahoma City Thunder's star point guard turned in arguably the worst game of his career in a 98-95 win over the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night, missing all 13 of his field goal attempts and scoring just four points in more than 31 minutes of action.
The bold-faced headline, though, was the heat-of-the-moment clash between...
