The Visible Man

Thu, 23 Jul 2009 21:00:04 +0000

Last summer, I ate, breathed, and slept Team USA basketball. Kobe and I did Pilates. Dwyane and I painted each others’ toe nails. LeBron was quite the gossip. But in between all the team slumber parties, I started to notice a few things. And not just Kobe’s simple ...

A Difficult Glass to Read

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 17:22:03 +0000

Game one is in the books, and unfortunately we’re left with more questions than answers. The glass rests on the table, but whether it’s half-empty or half-full is anybody’s guess. The Mavs were able to overcome subpar ...

A Slightly Inconvenient Truth

Thu, 26 Feb 2009 16:59:57 +0000

On the court, Josh Howard lives and dies by his emotions. That much is certain. His highest peaks are brimming with confidence and joy, and his lowest valleys are shadowed by self-doubt and disinterest. It’s an influence that goes beyond momentum; Howard’s emotions inevitably force him into a...

Heard It Through the Weekend Grapevine 12-7 and 12-8-09

Sun, 8 Feb 2009 20:23:33 +0000

Chad Ford investigates ways to solve the nice little abomination they have going in Phoenix, and among the myriad of solutions he offers is a Kidd-Shaq swap. The idea hinges primarily on Jason Terry being able to play the point and well, and well, that doesn’t seem like much of an ...

No Game Is an Island: Overlooked, But Not Forgotten

Sat, 7 Feb 2009 23:14:04 +0000

The Chicago Bulls visit the Dallas Mavericks 7:30 CST So, I kinda “overlooked” the fact that the Mavs have a game tonight, and it’s a bit late to start previewing. Plus, it’s a weekend, so I won’t waste all of our time. Enjoy the game, enjoy the weekend, ...

Heard It Through the Grapevine 2-6-09

Fri, 6 Feb 2009 17:30:46 +0000

Today’s a pretty depressing day. Especially for Jason Terry, who’s inevitably going to see plenty of this . Jerry Stackhouse may not be as far out the door as we previously thought. Or maybe Rick Carlisle is just giving Stack lip service while Donnie Nelson finds a trade ...

No Game is an Island: World of the Hypothetical

Sun, 21 Dec 2008 21:07:42 +0000

Reminiscing on what would have been if Jamison and Dirk had stuck together, thinking about how the Mavs could resemble the Wizards next season, and explaining how Josh Howard should be more like Caron Butler.

Untitled Dallas Mavericks Project Manifesto

Why hello there. You've managed to stumble upon my pet project, a new blog dedicated solely to the Mavs. But it wouldn't be very proper of me to just launch into recaps and analysis without providing some sort of framework for what I hope to do here, and without properly introducing myself...

No Game is an Island: An Opponent That Punches Back

Mon, 15 Dec 2008 18:44:23 +0000

The Mavs' last two wins have been a bit lackluster. The team will tell you that a W is a W, blahdy blah, generic locker room talk. I don't want to shit all over the last two Mavs wins, because getting into a rhythm is so important for this team, and getting wins any way they can is essential to...

Subplot of the weekend: KG makes Glen 'Big Baby' Davis cry. Harhar, he lived up to his nickname, blah blah blah. But, in light of all the media attention that Garnett has received this year regarding him egging on Jose Calderon and Luke Ridnour, continuing the down-on-all-fours ...
