Deron Williams has thrived since returns of Dirk, Bogut

Deron Williams has been the best pick-and-roll point guard in the NBA this season. That’s a bold claim to make, of course, especially if you’ve watched any of what James Harden has done this season in Houston, or what Steph Curry does every night, and the list goes on. There are a lot of terrific […]



Mavs defense plays historically well in 86-75 win vs. Milwaukee

They’ve said it basically ever since the end of last season: If the Mavs are going to win games, they’re going to do it with defense. And Sunday night we finally saw what they meant. Dallas limited Milwaukee to just 75 points in an overtime game, the fewest the team has allowed in a game […]



Rick Carlisle voted league’s best at making in-game adjustments

A coach is a motivator, but also a thinker. And no one in the NBA — if you ask the GMs, that is — plans, executes, and shifts strategy better than Mavs head coach Rick Carlisle.

After Australia nearly stuns U.S., Andrew Bogut still not satisfied

Mavs center Andrew Bogut’s message was clear as Australia prepared to square off against the United States: The Boomers weren’t afraid. “Teams who ask the Americans to autograph their shoes are beaten before the game begins,” Bogut said, “but that’s not us, and we think we can win.” The big man’s play backed up his […]



Highlighting Mavs in Rio: Andrew Bogut has been one of the most efficient players in the Olympics

Through two games in the Summer Olympics, Andrew Bogut has tallied 27 points, 16 rebounds, 11 assists, and four blocks. He’s shooting 85.7 percent from the field and his team, Australia, is undefeated. Not bad for a player who was considered questionable at best for the competition just a matter of weeks ago. Bogut’s path […]



Bogut could be ‘premier rim protector’ for Mavs’ D in 2016-17

Every defense needs its anchor, and the Mavericks have unquestionably added a terrific one in Andrew Bogut. Bogut, whom the Mavs acquired on July 7 via trade from the Golden State Warriors, is highly regarded within the Mavs’ organization. That should not be surprising, given the franchise was eager to target him once it became […]
