Dallas Mavericks >>

The 75-Member Staff has convinced itself that Dallas experienced a 'winner' offseason. So here's to the losers: A countdown of The NBA Bottom-10 Offseason Losers:...

On Monday morning, sources told DB.com the Mavs were pursuing a non-guaranteed deal with free-agent Charlie Villanueva. It's now a done deal and there's a 'shooter's-chance' logic to the agreement....

Apr 20, 2014; Houston, TX, USA; Houston Rockets forward Chandler Parsons (25) shoots the ball during the fourth quarter against the Portland Trail Blazers in game one during the first round of the 2014 NBA Playoffs at Toyota Center. Mandatory … Continue reading → ...

** NBA ** DALLAS MAVERICKS vs DETROIT PISTONS ** 01/05/2010 -- Detroit Pistons forward Charlie Villanueva (left) drives against Dallas Mavericks guard Jason Kidd during the first half of Dallas' 98-93 win Tuesday, January 5, 2010 at the American Airlines … Continue reading → ...

The Mavs rooting for the Spurs?! ... Dirk Nowitzki? Lots more 'Mr. Nice-Guy.' ... Why Sterling and Jay-Z prove I shoulda been a lawyer ... Readying for the Summer-League Mavs ... Welcome home, Delonte ... Mavs Donuts!...

How did we so quickly recognize that the sexual-harassment lawsuit filed against Johnny Manziel was a frivolous action and a sick joke from noted frivolous sicko Jonathan Lee Riches? Because it was just a few years ago that Mark Cuban and Dirk Nowitzki found themselves found themselves the victims of a similar action. ...

Plus Dirk's annual summer baseball game, Mavs bringing in a player, and more. 1. ALL THE CAP SPACE BELONGS TO THE MAVS: Our friends over at SLC Dunk take  a look at offseason cap space by team . I don't think it's a shock that the Mavericks are at the top. I'm not so sure about the part where they talk about Dallas being a "desirable" destination, considering the free agents who have spurned them...

'How do the Mavs help Nowitzki next season? Sign Chris Bosh.' That's how the headline reads, and all it really points out is what a burdensome challenge is it to bear the title 'Mavs Insider' - and how further burdensome is it when you bear the title but are not actually, you know inside. Mavs Donuts:...

The HEAT will go for the commanding 3-1 series lead vs Indiana after taking care of business in Game 3. After a much shorter layoff then between Games 2 and 3, the Miami HEAT and Indiana Pacers will continue their battle for Eastern Conference supremacy tonight at 8:30 at the AmericanAirlines Arena. Miami bounced back in Game 2 by winning 87-83 and at home for Game 3 with the blowout 99-87 victory...

Not technically a game winner, but the first contestant is one of the most memorable sequences of the 2011 title run. Next up is a ridiculous turnaround jumper that is just so, so Dirk. (7) Doesn't miss twice on Conference Finals (2011) Up 3-1 on the Thunder , with the opportunity to get back to the finals, and face either the Heat or Bulls , the Mavericks and Dirk Nowitzki needed one shot to make...

When it comes to degree of difficulty, 2012 was a good year. This and-1 layup against KG is bonkers, especially since Garnett is fouling him from the moment Dirk catches the ball. The other you'll know as Dirk's most recent buzzer beater, with the best part being Carmelo's deflated shrug. (6) Layup and a  Kevin Garnett foul (2012) You can figure out in your own time where Dirk and Kevin Garnett fall...

You probably all remember this shot, too: Deron gets a crazy bank shot off glass, and then Dirk is all like, "not so fast there, Utah." Great moment. With the 14 seed, we have Dirk baptizing Chris Kaman with a game winning jumper. Sorry future teammate. (3) 3-pointer response to a  Deron Williams prayer (2008) Coming off of a depressing first round upset to Golden State in 2007 and a heartbreaking...

Is the layup technically a game winner? Nah, but whatever. It might be the most iconic shot of Dirk's career and we just couldn't leave it off. The other is a fun shot, earning Dirk redemption from a poor shooting night. (2) The famous and-1 layup against the  Spurs (2006) This isn't a game-winner, really, but it's still one of the most amazing clutch shots of Dirk's career. It's also one of those...

Mavs Moneyball is happy to announce a 16-seed Dirk Game Winners Tournament, starting this Sunday! Here's everything you need to know. If you're from around these parts, you've probably heard about Dirk Nowitzki. He has a strong case as the greatest sports figure in the DFW area. He carried the Mavericks to their only championship (so far). He has won the Mavericks a lot of games. In a vacuum, every...

We all remember the team that wouldn't die last year, despite the starting back court's best efforts. That 3-pointer was fantastic. On the other side, there's a beautiful step-back winner against Indiana. (4) 3-pointer beats Chicago in playoff push (2013) Even if this game ultimately changed little about the final outcome of the Mavericks ' regular season, it is indelibly etched in our minds, for...

If the Mavericks had gone onto beat the Suns in this second round series in 2005, this shot would probably be higher. Alas, they couldn't quite get it done. And then there's no. 9, and that shot's degree of difficulty might be the highest of the tourney. (8) Jumper ties series against Phoenix 1-1 (2005) I don't have any personal memories of this shot because I didn't watch this game. I didn't watch...

"HE GETS THE BOUNCE. HE GOT HE BOUNCE," screamed Followill, a call that I am happy to have heard live. The mob scene is just as great. The other game winner is a simple shot, but has a better backstory. (5) Gets the bounce against Milwaukee (2009) I've watched Dirk shoot jumpers for a long time. Which also means I've seen him make a lot. When you watch a player that's so good for so long, you tend...

That layup has to be the first seed. It's iconic. It's historic. It's everything great about Dirk Nowitzki. Meanwhile, the 16 seed here is probably a shot you've never seen, but was a part of what was possibly the best Eurobasket runs Germany ever had. (1) Last-second layup in Game 2 of the Finals (2011) If there is a greatest game in Dallas Mavericks history, Game 2 of the 2011 NBA Finals gets my...

Before the Mavs get to the business of where to spend what we believe will be $31 million worth of summer-of-'14 cap room, we need to account for the dollars already committed. A handy-to-the-penny chart that walks you through the Mavs' players and their contracts:...

Apparently! Use this new thread to discuss them. Hey party people, I guess the Mavericks are still out of the playoffs last I checked. That's unfortunate -- especially considering, I mean, you know, if they had beat the Spurs , don't you think they could have gotten all the way to the Finals again the way these other teams are playing? I think they would have had a legitimate shot.  Sorry if that...
