Posted in During Friday night’s game between the Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center, the game in and of itself was rather competitive. Then came the collision. The collision in question took place late in the second quarter between the Rockets’ Carl Landry and Mavericks’ Dirk Nowitzki; unfortunately for both players, they had to [...]

Howard’s 18 Second Half Points In Return Help Mavericks Skate Past Suns 102-101
One could say that the Dallas Mavericks were managing quite well with out the services of Josh Howard, who was nursing an ankle injury. Fortunately for Dallas, Howard made his return as they hosted the Phoenix Suns Tuesday night. Things went rather slow for Howard initially, but got appreciably better as he scored 18 of [...]
Nowitzki’s 44 Help Mavericks Stay Alive, Edge Nuggets 119-117
The Dallas Mavericks, down 3-0 prior to their game Monday night against the Denver Nuggets, had to dig deep into themselves and find a way to keep themselves alive to extend their series. In the Mavericks’ case, they relied on the ole’ standby, Dirk Nowitzki; and to be certain, he did not disappoint as he [...]
Nowitzki Leads Mavericks To Second Round, Trounce Spurs 106-93
I have no idea what happened to the San Antonio Spurs during this postseason. One can say that they simply couldn’t shoot the ball during the series – which was actually true – while an argument can be made about the team’s age. Truth be told, the Spurs are a bit long in the tooth. [...]

For those of you who know your American history, some great Texas pioneers put up a great stand at a Texas landmark, known as [...]
Mavericks Shoot 54%, Corral Spurs 105-97
One thing that the Dallas Mavericks have been in their recent playoff history is ineffective on the road, as evidenced in their nine previous road losses – dating back to 2006. But the Mavericks decided to do something about that issue as they shot 54% from the floor, defeating the San Antonio Spurs Saturday 105-97 [...]
Parker Powers Spurs Past Mavericks 93-76
The San Antonio Spurs, when short-handed, typically have difficulty winning games on a regular basis. Tuesday’s game against the Dallas Mavericks was no different as Tim Duncan sat this one out with a sore knee; but like all good teams do, someone else steps in to take up the slack. In the Spurs’ case, it was [...]
Mavericks Bench Comes Up Big, Brand Kings 116-95
Typically, the Dallas Mavericks’ bench is at best average offensively; you wouldn’t have known that in Saturday night’s game against the Sacramento Kings as they scored an impressive 54 points, led by Brandon Bass. Long story short, Dallas scored 70 first-half points as they decimated Sacramento 116-95 at American Airlines Center. The Mavericks were hot early [...]
