The best Mavs buzzer-beaters of 2015-16

We’ve already taken a look back at the best Mavs dunks and blocks of the 2015-16 season, so now all that’s left is checking out the buzzer-beaters. For this list, we included attempts to beat the shot clock, for two reasons: 1. There’s a buzzer sound when the shot clock expires, and 2. These are […]



The best Mavs blocks of 2015-16

When you think of the Mavs’ defense, blocks might not be the first thing to come to mind. Only Detroit blocked fewer shots than Dallas this season, as the Mavericks instead turned their attention to overloading the paint in an effort to limit opponents’ shots at the rim, encouraging 3-balls instead. The Mavs allowed only […]



Raymond Felton always got the job done this season, no matter the role

Point guard, shooting guard, starter, reserve: No matter how he was used this season, Raymond Felton always produced. Felton’s season sort of came full circle in the playoffs. After leading the team in scoring as a shooting guard on opening night in October, Felton once again found himself at the helm of the Mavs’ offense […]



Raymond Felton’s double-double fuels Mavs offense in Game 2 win

Raymond Felton was experiencing an unfamiliar feeling late in Monday’s Game 2 win: sickness. With less than 10 seconds left and his team ahead by one point, 85-84, both the guard’s attempts bounced off the rim, culminating in a wild OKC fast break heading the other way. ​The sequence might have been reminiscent of a […]



Lineup change pays off in Mavs win at Charlotte

It was bound to happen eventually, and last night it did. Mavs coach Rick Carlisle changed up the starting lineup, replacing Zaza Pachulia with Raymond Felton. Dirk Nowitzki started at center with Chandler Parsons at power forward as the Mavs tested a small-ball group against the hottest team in the NBA. Before last night, the […]



Raymond Felton comes up huge in Mavs’ comeback win against Denver

At halftime, the Mavericks needed a change. Dallas had fallen behind the Nuggets by as much as 23 points in the second quarter, due to a slow start from the field, a few sluggish turnovers, and red-hot Denver shooting. Toward the end of the second, however, Dallas appeared to have found something: a lineup including […]



Mavs five-man unit is the best in the NBA

The best five-man, high-volume lineup in the NBA this season by volume hasn’t been the undefeated Golden State Warriors starting lineup. It hasn’t been a Spurs group, or any unit with Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Blake Griffin, or James Harden. Nope. Of the 26 lineups with at least 70 minutes played this season, the best […]



Una Nueva Oportunidad (Another Chance)

Durante unos meses, Raymond Felton fue solo un nombre para los aficionados de los Dallas Mavericks. Sabían que había llegado en el traspaso de Tyson Chandler y poco más. Una importante lesión de tobillo durante la pretemporada le impidió poder jugar hasta diciembre, y una vez estuvo recuperado, ya era demasiado tarde para hacerse con […]



Behind the Box Score: Games 1-10

The Mavericks and most of the other teams in the NBA have only played 10 games this season, but at this point there has been enough of a sample size to get an idea of what Dallas is doing really well so far. Granted, the Mavs were without three starters in two games already this […]



Raymond Felton ran the show in Cleveland

There’s almost no other way to say it: Raymond Felton put on a clinic last night against the Cleveland Cavaliers. The veteran point guard scored a modest 8 points on 4-of-6 shooting, but it was his floor game — 7 assists versus a single turnover — that stood out the most and led to some […]
