The Dallas Mavericks made it look easy on Tuesday night, absolutely crushing the severely shorthanded New Orleans Pelicans 132-91 for the team’s third straight win. This was the Mavs team we expected to see this season - the stars starred, but several role players chipped in with double-figures and the defense was excellent throughout the game, even despite the significant number of Pelicans missing due to injury. We cover the game and vibe out.

The Dallas Mavericks lost 115-113 to the Utah Jazz on Thursday night, in what was easily the team’s worst loss of the season and the fourth one-shot loss in a row. Quentin Grimes had a good first half and Naji Marshall was alright in the second half, but we’re still waiting for any other role players to bring energy and production. Luka Doncic led the team with 37 points and put up another impressive stat line, but his defensive blunder in the closing seconds decided the outcome of the game...

We dive into the good, the bad, and the ugly behind the team’s 5-6 start, including three straight one-score losses, beginning with the disastrous fourth quarter on Tuesday night in Klay Thompson’s return to take on Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors, crunch time issues plaguing the usually dependable Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving-led offense, and much more.

The Dallas Mavericks did the same thing they’ve done the last two games, and the result was the same. Fall behind early, come back, take a lead, and then fall apart down the stretch. Luka Doncic started great but didn’t score a point in the fourth quarter. Kyrie Irving scored 9 in the fourth and Klay Thompson had 22 on the game, but the Mavs bench got outscored by 20 points. Steph Curry went completely ballistic down the stretch and no one could stop him. What the heck happened? And why? How...

Kyrie Irving went completely supernova in the second half and finished with 43 points on the night, but the Dallas Mavericks couldn’t take home the win against the Denver Nuggets, falling 122-120. Nikola Jokic scored 37 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter, to lead Denver to victory. The Mavs bench once again got outscored, Dallas once again lost the second chance points battle, and Luka Doncic was uncharacteristically quiet down the stretch in the Mavs’ second heartbreaking defeat in a...

Luka Doncic and Kyrie Irving combined for 59 points, but it was barely not enough as the Dallas Mavericks fall 114-113 to Kevin Durant and the Phoenix Suns. A very controversial call went against Dallas in the final moment, with Jusuf Nurkic drawing a questionable foul with 0.8 seconds left on the clock. The Suns improve to 8-1 on the season and 7-0 in clutch games, and the Mavs end their five-game homestand a disappointing 2-3. Join the DLLS Mavs crew as they break down a very frustrating...

Luka Doncic said his fourth quarter in Thursday’s loss to the Houston Rockets might have gotten him going, and he was right. Doncic scored 25 points in the first half tonight as the Mavericks blew out the Orlando Magic. Dallas brought energy and effort from the opening tip and took care of business on the front end of a back-to-back against a undermanned Magic squad missing Paolo Banchero.

The Dallas Mavericks secured a 110-102 win at home against the Utah Jazz despite a 5-of-22 outing from Luka Doncic, the worst shooting performance of his career. Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson were both pretty efficient, but the bench was the story of this game. Dereck Lively II continued his sensational start to the season and Spencer Dinwiddie had a monster third quarter to help kickstart the offense and create a bit of separation. Dallas will play the Minnesota Timberwolves tomorrow night.

The Dallas Mavericks fall to 1-1 on the season after their loss to the Phoenix Suns as Kevin Durant out-duels Luka Doncic in a battle of superstars.
