At the start of the month, I mentioned to Jason Terry that he’s now a top-100 scorer in NBA history. It will surprise you to know that the Dallas Mavericks’ seemingly stat-conscious standout knew nothing about the milestone until I spelled it out for him. It will delight you to know Jet’s thoughts on [...]
They were supposed to be 40 percent of the first-team lineup. So how did the Mavs win a title without their ‘Robin’ and their ‘Boy Wonder’? An examination of a championship run absent Caron Butler and Roddy Beaubois … Take a peek back at the 2011 NBA Playoff and Finals highlights and your eyes will [...]
It’s time. Time for our Dallas Mavericks to put the wooden stake through the heart of the Dirk mocking, fake coughing Miami Heat. Time for the pompous trio from South Beach to start thinking about what might have been if they hadn’t had a coaching and execution meltdown in the final 6 minutes of game [...]

(We’re fairly certain that David Hasselhoff is NOT, contrary to myth, on Dirk Nowitzki’s playlist.) But as the Mavs marched through another 50-win season (for the 11th straight year), earned a regular-season tie with [...]
So Phil Jackson has a 48-0 record when his teams win the first game of a 7 game playoff series. Doesn’t matter. The Mavs had lost 16 of 18 postseason games away from the American Airlines Center since the Finals meltdown in 2006. Doesn’t matter. The Mavs have been labeled as “soft” for years by [...]
