Opinion: Magic, Spurs, Cavs and Mavs Each Post Christmas Day Victories

26 Dec 2008 06:07:00 PST

Written by Doc319@yahoo.com (David Friedman)
The final game of the quintupleheader featured two Western Conference teams with similar records but vastly different roster compositions; the veteran laden Mavericks are hoping/praying that they can put everything together to make one more Finals run, while the youthful Trail Blazers hope that this season they will make the first of many consecutive playoff appearances. The Mavs are led by 2007 MVP Dirk Nowitzki, who scored 24 of his game-high 30 points in the first half. Nowitzki's reputation has probably never completely recovered from Dallas' collapse in the 2006 NBA Finals and shocking first round upset loss to Golden State the folowing year but by any objective measure he is still one of the league's top players. The Mavs broug...

23 Dec 2008 13:35:19 PST

Written by Jakedfw
About the only thing that gives Mavericks fans hope is that the Mavs defense has been steadily improving recently. From the low point of the Phoenix game, the Mavs have been steadily tightening up their defense. This is indicated by the red arrow on the graph. Remember, a lower number is bette...

Opinion: I Can't Get A Handle On This Team

30 Nov 2008 21:32:13 PST

Written by Jakedfw
I've watched the games, and I've examined the stats. I've waited and waited for some kind of trend to show itself, but I can't wait any longer. We're 16 games into the season, and I still don't have a handle on what kind of team the Mavericks have become under Rick Carlisle. Part of me is thinking (...

Opinion: Dallas Mavericks open on the run, but lose with no defense

30 Oct 2008 21:41:00 PDT

Then the engines, namely two — Dirk Nowitzki and Josh Howard — heated up and got the much-anticipated, post-Avery, blow-and-go show rolling. Nowitzki (36 points) and Howard (28 points, 15 in the first quarter) accounted for 62.7 percent of the scoring. The other three starters — Antoine Wr...

Opinion: The Great Smokescreen of 2007-2008

Written by Jakedfw
First things first, if you look past the smokescreen of last season you must accept the fact that this team is returning 6 out of its top 7 players from the 67 win team from two seasons ago. This alone should make you think twice about dismissing the Mavericks. And two of the major changes--Rick...

Opinion: Got Josh Howard?

14 Sep 2008 13:59:06 PDT

Written by Toddy
Don't blame it on Jason Kidd, either. Josh had his best scoring month of the season in March, when Kidd was just starting to run the show. But for whatever reason, when April and the playoffs rolled around his shooting touch went south and he turned in the worst playoff showing of his career: 12....

Written by Toddy
What did you think of the Houston Rockets trading for Ron Artest, who was on some of your most successful teams at Indiana? The only reference point fans have for Jason Kidd is how he struggled in Avery Johnson's offense. At 35, has his age caught up to him?

Opinion: Could Redick be a target this summer?

16 May 2008 00:21:24 PDT

While I wouldn’t necessarily envision Redick next year to average a significant amount of points (or minutes), he could at least be a good option off the bench for some instant scoring, something the Mavs often lacked beyond Jason Terry or Jerry Stackhouse. He could be a pretty solid guy in...

Opinion: Who's the next Mavericks' coach? Avery's replacement is up to Dirk

02 May 2008 02:36:00 PDT

Much speculation swirls on the next head coach of the Dallas Mavericks, and while admitting you won't be reading that name here today, I know where to eventually find out. As of this week, Avery Johnson is gone as head coach because Dirk wanted him gone.

Opinion: Jan Hubbard: In a time of crisis, Nowitzki tells it like it is

01 May 2008 05:35:00 PDT

Dirk wasn't finished, and he was equally blunt when talking about former coach Don Nelson and what he'd like to see in the Mavericks' next coach. Perhaps it is time for a review. In February, the Mavericks traded 27 percent of their 15-man team and two future No. 1 picks to New Jersey for Kidd. And...

Opinion: Anthony, Iverson Combine to Sink Slumping Mavericks

28 Mar 2008 02:09:00 PDT

Written by David Friedman
A lot of people doubted Houston without Yao Ming and Phoenix with Shaquille O'Neal and I correctly said that both of those teams would be fine. However, the people who are doubting Dallas now are correct. The Mavs were not doing so great even with Nowitzki. They have some talented players but the idea that Josh Howard is as valuable as Nowitzki is going to rapidly be revealed as erroneous. Kidd is a great leader but it seems that there is some kind of power struggle between him and Coach Avery Johnson--not so much that they don't like each other personally but rather that they have different ideas about how to play. Johnson wants to slow the game down and call his own plays, while Kidd is more effective in an uptempo game. The race for the last two spots i...

Opinion: Comments From the Other Side - Mavs

21 Mar 2008 04:49:00 PDT

Written by FLCeltsFan
Mavs favored to win by 3.5 points. At this point, I hope the Mavs lose every game so we can say bye to Avery. Apparantely the team is really fragmented and now the local media is covering it. Bye Avery And the slow descent of Avery from hottest coach in the league to the Cuban dog house continues.... The Mavs better represent tomorrow. Not just for Dallas but for Texas. If Boston wins, they will be the first team since 2001 to go through the Texas Triangle unscathed. Dallas is the last man.. Err, team standing. Spurs blew it. Houston got creamed. Its time for us to show why nobody comes out of the triangle alive. Not feeling good about this game but someone needs to put Boston in its place. It might as well be Dallas

Week in Review: Are the Mavs still among the West elite?

03 Mar 2008 18:46:47 PST

So, considering that the Mavs have yet to beat a quality team since the trade, I’m wondering if this is a sign that the Mavs’ window of opportunity to win a championship has closed. There are so many other teams in the Western Conference that are a legitimate threat to these Mavericks in a play...

Opinion: Jan Hubbard: Mavs, fans don't need to face more kidding about failures

26 Feb 2008 03:20:00 PST

There is little doubt that Kidd is magic. With him on the floor, Jason Terry is faster, Jerry Stackhouse jumps higher, Erick Dampier catches more passes and Dirk does a nice impersonation of his pal Steve Nash. Late in the first quarter, Kidd started a fast break with a long pass out of the back...

Opinion: Devin Harris: "I have a new future to look forward to"

18 Feb 2008 23:35:00 PST

The Mavs’ brass believes Kidd’s ability to read the floor, anticipate player movement and deliver precision passes will make the offense more fluid and make it easier for Dirk Nowitzki, Josh Howard and Jason Terry to get scoring opportunities.

Meanwhile, like two superstars passing in the night, Dirk Nowitzki and Kidd exchanged a hug in a hotel ballroom as the West All-Stars exited their afternoon media session and made way for the East All-Stars. Nowitzki is on the West team and Kidd on the East.

Opinion: Mavericks Follow Correct Prescription, Run Warriors off of the Court

03 Jan 2008 05:10:00 PST

Written by David Friedman
Anyone who visits this site regularly knows that I have repeatedly insisted (most recently in this post) that teams should not be afraid to run against the Golden State Warriors and that the Dallas Mavericks could have avoided their upset loss to the Warriors in last year's playoffs if the Mavericks had pushed the ball up the court instead of trying to slow the game down. These truths were once against confirmed in Dallas' 121-99 win over Golden State on Wednesday night. Dirk Nowitzki scored a game-high 29 points on 9-16 shooting, adding eight rebounds, six assists and three blocked shots. Nowitzki had a game-high plus/minus rating of +25. Five other Mavericks also scored in double figures, including Josh Howard, who had 19 points and a gam...
