Steve Clifford stepped down from the job, and while he’s a great coach, it was clearly time to go in a different direction. The Hornets are stacked with young and immature players, and they need someone who can get to them and help them keep the main thing first. That’s why it’s not much of a surprise to see that former sharpshooter JJ Redick could be a candidate for the job. With that in mind, his former teammate, Luka Doncic, teased him and joked about him becoming their next ..read more

(Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)   The Dallas Mavericks have officially arrived. Following a case of the jitters in their postseason debut, this new group of players rallied together to make a statement and steal one game on the road vs. the Los Angeles Clippers. Of course, it’s never been surprising to see Luka Doncic put up big numbers on offense, as he’s almost averaged a triple-double for three years straight now. However, we just saw a version of Doncic we had never seen before. As pointed out by Brian Windhorst of ESPN, Doncic held the Clippers to 2 of 17 shooting as the primary ..read more

(Photo by Brian Fluharty/Getty Images)   It didn’t take long before the Dallas Mavericks found their new franchise player. Dirk Nowitzki was still there to pass him the torch, and Luka Doncic didn’t hesitate to embrace the responsibility of being the face of the franchise. The former Real Madrid player took the league by storm, and he’s posted video game-like numbers since he arrived from overseas. To put in context just how dominant he’s been, Bleacher Report shared a graphic showing that he’s actually posted better numbers than LeBron James through the first 30 postseason games of his c ..read more

(Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)   The Dallas Mavericks failed in Kyrie Irving’s first couple of months with the team. They slipped in the standings and went from being a playoff team to sitting their starters in the season finale. Nonetheless, they still doubled down on their star duo and put better pieces around them, and the results speak for themselves. The Mavs are 1-1 in the first-round series vs. the Los Angeles Clippers, and they have now stolen homecourt advantage and are in a position to pull off the upset. With that in mind, Kyrie talked about how failure can sometimes i ..read more

(Photo by Ronald Martinez/Getty Images)   The Dallas Mavericks were one of the most disappointing teams in Game 1 of the first round of the playoffs. They were one of the best teams in the league since the All-Star break and some thought they were ready to upset the Kawhi Leonard-less Los Angeles Clippers. Instead, they trailed by double digits for the entire game, and it wasn’t nearly as close as one could tell from the final score. With that in mind, former NBA star Tim Hardaway called his son’s team out, stating that the University of Connecticut runs a better offense than them. "UCon ..read more

(Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)   The Dallas Mavericks didn’t show up to play in Game 1. The Los Angeles Clippers got the best of them on both ends of the floor, and that’s despite not having Kawhi Leonard available. That’s not a great sign for Jason Kidd’s team, especially if Leonard is able to suit up at some point in the series. More than that, it seems like even one of their star players isn’t so sure about the Mavs’ chances. Following the loss, Kyrie Irving claimed that they failed the test, adding that he doesn’t even know whether they should be favored in this series (via Ben ..read more

(Photo by Tim Nwachukwu/Getty Images)   The Los Angeles Clippers have a bit of an edge against the Dallas Mavericks, even though it’s not necessarily on the court. Tyronn Lue knows Kyrie Irving like the back of his hand, so even though there’s no such thing as stopping him, he certainly knows a thing or two about his tendencies and how to contain him. That’s why, following their loss in Game 1, Irving claimed that he’s been paying attention to detail and the little pointers that he knows Lue can give his team on his game (via NBA). Kyrie Irving opens up about facing his former head coach ..read more

(Photo by Todd Kirkland/Getty Images)   The Dallas Mavericks started the season as a bit of a wild card. Everybody knew they had the potential to be an offensive force, as Kyrie Irving and Luka Doncic are two of the most talented and dominant offensive players in the game. However, their defense wasn’t all the way there yet, but some moves ahead of the trade deadline turned the ship around. Now, the Mavs look like a legitimate dark horse to come out of the Western Conference, and a lot of that has to do with their franchise star. As pointed out by NBA TV, Doncic currently averages the sec ..read more

(Photo by Dean Mouhtaropoulos/Getty Images)   The Dallas Mavericks made a franchise-changing move when they traded for Luka Doncic. It didn’t take long before the Real Madrid star proved the doubters wrong, taking the league by storm from the very first day, and getting better every single year. He draws comparisons to Larry Bird and LeBron James, who are big-bodied point forwards with elite court vision who can stretch the floor. Nonetheless, Detroit Pistons coach Monty Williams believes he’s more similar to Magic Johnson. Following the Mavs’ loss to the Pistons, the coach stated that yo ..read more

(Photo by Al Bello/Getty Images)   One of the most entertaining and unstoppable players in the NBA today is superstar Luka Doncic of the Dallas Mavericks, who seems to get better and better with every passing year, especially this season, as he’s become the league’s elite scorer with an NBA-best 33.9 points per game. Along with lighting up the Atlanta Hawks earlier in the season for a career-high 73 points, Doncic has been scorching hot offensively this season as he continues to do the seemingly impossible on the basketball court by scoring from anywhere on the court consistently.
