In what’s becoming almost a nightly ritual, Al-Farouq Aminu’s fingerprints were all over the Mavs’ win against Houston last night. The forward scored a season-high 17 points, grabbed a season-high 12 boards, and blocked two shots in 30 minutes of action, boasting a plus-minus of +12 in an 11-point win. And, as only Aminu can, […]

New Maverick Amar’e Stoudemire should fit in with the team about as seamlessly as a player can in this league. His job will be pretty simple: Set a screen, roll downhill and into space, make himself a target, and catch any pass thrown his way. It seems like an easy responsibility, but not every big […]
You and I are spoiled. Not just because, for the 13th time, we got to watch Dirk Nowitzki play in the All-Star game.
