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 […]
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 […]
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. The franchise’s all-time wins leader was voted the head coach who makes the best in-game adjustments in NBA.com’s annual […]
No offense to the beautiful Bay Area, but Dallas has seemed to be a perfect fit for Andrew Bogut so far. The veteran center already made a positive impression in his AAC debut earlier this week, when he recorded recorded 11 rebounds, three blocks, and three assists in only 16 minutes. But in a new […]
While more eyes were on Dirk Nowitzki in his preseason debut, the Mavs’ other big men ended up stealing the spotlight in Tuesday night’s 114-109 win against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Andrew Bogut, Dwight Powell, and A.J. Hammons combined for 28 points, 23 rebounds, and four blocks in the win, each playing in his own […]
Andrew Bogut and Australia defeated Lithuania 90-64 in Wednesday’s Olympic quarterfinals, and now the Boomers advance to the semis, seeking the country’s first-ever medal in men’s basketball. Australia has looked superior to every opponent it’s played so far in the Olympics, with the lone exception of the United States, the only country to defeat Bogut’s […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The Mavs announced today they acquired center Andrew Bogut from the Golden State Warriors along with a future second-round pick in exchange for a conditional second-rounder. Bogut, 31, has spent the last four season with the Warriors, the last two of which came under head coach Steve Kerr, who implemented one of the most wide-open […]
