Chandler Parsons will not participate in the Dallas Mavericks’ 2016 postseason push as he recovers from right knee surgery. He is, however, hoping to partake in their next one. The 27-year-old Parsons holds a player option for next season, which he is expected to decline in order to reach free agency and capitalize on the [...]

Dirk Nowitzki, even after nearly two decades of being set in his basketball ways, is not afraid of change. Not even the kind of change that demands he jump to center full-time for the Dallas Mavericks. He’s always been a shooter in the body of a center, but now he may actually start playing center. [...]

The Dallas Mavericks have, historically, been seduced by free-agent big men. Just last summer, they went hard after DeAndre Jordan and landed a verbal agreement, only to have him renege on his word shortly thereafter. Before that, in 2013, when Dwight Howard was a free agent, they entered the running for his services as well. [...]

Dirk Nowitzki provided us with another vintage Dirk moment last night in Los Angeles, knocking down one of his classic stepback jumpers over Julius Randle with less than two seconds left in the Mavericks 92-90 win in Los Angeles. Nowitzki knocked down the game winner right in front of the Lakers bench and Kobe Bryant, [...]

Rondo has not gotten off to a great start with the Mavs. His numbers are down across the board, his team has struggled and he’s taken some heat stemming from his confrontation with Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle. His Player Efficiency rating is a career low 11.7 and his free throw shooting is atrocious, as he’s shooting 29% from the line [...]

With 1.7 seconds left on in the fourth quarter and the Spurs up by two points against the Mavericks in Game 3 of the first round of [...]

The Dallas Mavericks have been eliminated from playoff contention for the first time in more than a decade. So in theory, the only thing they’re playing for is pride. Last night Dallas’ O.J. Mayo had a crack at his former team, the Memphis Grizzlies. But according to Dallas head coach Rick Carlisle, O.J. didn’t put [...]

Starting from his days at CAL, the pack draws up a pair of the Air Zoom Flight 95 for every team in the league Jason Kidd ever belonged to; save his current New York Knicks affiliation. Stitched on the tongue of each sneaker is Kidd’s jersey number with that respective team. For those who don’t [...]

June 21, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors TV and Radio Host Dan LeBatard loves his Miami Heat. So much so that he found in incomprehensible that the Heat could lose last year in the NBA Finals to the Dallas Mavericks. In fact he guaranteed it….in a bet….with Charles Barkley. The prize of the bet was [...]

March 2, 2012 – The Hoop Doctors Under the new collective bargaining agreement, teams can send veteran players down to the D-League so that they can get straightened out. Hopefully this doesn’t signal the beginning of the end of Odom’s playing career. The Dallas Mavericks hope to have Lamar Odom back in uniform in a matter [...]
