Unimpressive Win Over Minnesota

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

The Mavs managed to pull out a narrow victory Thursday against Minnesota. The final score was 109-103 against a team that should refund season ticket holders due to the pathetic nature of their play.
The Mavs are in a slump of sorts, which has set the radio talk show hosts a jabbering. Dale Hansen reminds us [...]

Mavericks Need a New Look

Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

In my opinion, the Mavericks are fakes ….they just can’t seem to get it right.
Sure, they look good on paper. They have a good mix of veterans and young talent. I don’t know if it’s the way Avery is managing the games (probably is) or what. Maybe they are trying to implement a new strategy [...]

Looking at Dallas Domain Names

Thursday, November 22nd, 2007

Here in Dallas, we love our Mavericks. But we love our Cowboys too. We’re currently looking for a domain name that would allow us to include Cowboys and Mavericks coverage in one site. We love MavsUpdate, and we’re not completely sold on the idea of moving to a new domain, so we might just start [...]

Early Survey: Do the Mavericks Have What it Takes to Win a Championship?

Wednesday, November 21st, 2007

If you’re a Mavs fan, this is really the only question worth asking. They’ve done everything else. With a visit to the championship two years ago, a 70 win season, and the current league MVP in Dirk Nowitzki, there’s not much left to accomplish until they bring home a championship.
The Mavs are 8-2 early on, [...]

Celtics Look to Feast on the East

Saturday, November 10th, 2007

It’s still early in the season, yet the Boston Celtics are playing on a level above that of any other Eastern Conference team. Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett are playing like men among boys. Their routine 20+ pts each per game bring a better balance to their team than just about any other [...]

New Rivals Coming To Town

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

ESPN reported early Saturday morning that the Seattle Supersonics’ new owner informed the NBA on Friday of his intention to move the team to Oklahoma City.
Nothing is guaranteed at this point. The Supersonics are still in litigation with the city of Seattle, but they sound ready to move whenever the opportunity arises. That could be [...]

Barea Can’t Do What?

Saturday, November 3rd, 2007

Okay, Aaron, this is where you tell me that JJ Barea can’t make it as a point guard in the NBA. Where you tell me that he doesn’t have the skill. Don’t think I’ve forgotten about you either, Nathan. So many people doubting the great Jose Juan.
And this is where I ignore you and continue [...]

Thanks Mark… We Don’t Want Kobe

Friday, November 2nd, 2007

The Dallas Mavericks are not going to pursue Mr. Selfish/Team Destroyer Kobe Bryant.
Is it an issue of talent? Yes it is. The Mavs would have to give up way too much and it’s a catch 22. Why? It’s the perfect contract situation for Kobe - there is a no trade clause. In other words, Kobe [...]

Cuban Says No to Kobe

Thursday, November 1st, 2007

Listening to 103.3FM ESPN this morning, the ESPN SportsCenter update tells us that Mark Cuban has officially said that the Mavericks will NOT be pursuing Kobe Bryant any further. According to ESPN, Cuban said “The price is too high.” One can only assume that Cuban’s referring to the number and quality of players the Mavericks [...]
