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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Mavs at 4-1 Odds for a Championship

Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

The Mavs were given 4-1 odds for winning the 2007-2008 NBA Championship. The new-look Celtics were also given 4-1 odds. Only the Spurs were given better odds (7-2).
Sports Illustrated recently picked the Mavs to win it all against the Detroit Pistons. Interesting, considering the disappointing first round loss to Golden State earlier this year. “Loss” [...]

Which Mavs Draw a Crowd?

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

This topic came up in discussion as we bounced around the names of Mavericks players we’d all be willing to lose in a trade. It’s not a huge list, surprisingly, but the answers are fairly consistent. Since we can’t really say who we’d be willing to trade until we know what we might get in [...]

Mavs Commit to Devin Harris

Friday, September 14th, 2007

This week, the Dallas Mavericks and Devin Harris signed a five year extension. Despite what the naysayers will say, Devin is the most solid point guard option the Mavs have had since forfeiting the right to keep Steve Nash.
Most fans and commentators seem to be unable to grasp the concept of Harris as a talented [...]

Reyshawn Terry Heads for Greece

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

According to 103.3FM ESPN Radio, Donnie Nelson announced Tuesday that Reyshawn Terry will be playing this coming season in Greece. Terry will play one year for Aris in Greece, with hopes of having a spot on the Mavericks’ roster next year. The Mavs don’t want to surrender their rights to him, but there just isn’t [...]

Diop Should Replace Damp

Sunday, August 26th, 2007

It’s an interesting quandry that the Mavs will face this season. Erick Dampier has been a disappointment ever since he relocated to Dallas. His contract is far too bloated for his performance. And, let’s face it, once Shaq calls you a girl, there’s not a whole heck of a lot you can say or do [...]

Are the Mavericks Tough Enough? Part Two

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

Is it really an issue of toughness? Or is it coaching? This is another question mark brought up in the media. I have read some comments that say Avery is in the “hot seat” this year. There are comparisons between Avery and Nelson, and Avery and Poppavich.
Avery obviously wants to emulate what [...]
