Personally, Shawn Marion was my Defensive Player of the Year even before Cuban said this. He has been a fantastic defender for years, and has really stepped up this year defending opposing teams main scorers. The Mavericks are a different team with him on the court, and when facing teams like the Lakers, his immense defensive presence has been an absolute difference maker. He’s my DPOY right now.

Wild Wild West: Dallas beats Houston in OT; Clippers rout Grizzlies

by

Things have officially gone wild in the Wild Wild West. Over the past five seasons, at least one team with a winning record has failed to make the playoffs in the Western Conference as the competition has always been fierce and close until the final day of the season. It may never have been this close, however. Currently, 1 1/2 games separate the fourth seed and the ninth seed. Two teams — the Clippers and the Mavericks — are tied for the fourth seed

Kelenna Azubuike

The Dallas Mavericks on Friday signed swingman Kelenna Azubuike, who has not played in the NBA in more than a year. Azubuike played three-plus seasons with the Golden State Warriors before suffering a torn patellar tendon in November 2010. He missed the remainder of that season and that summer was shipped to the New York Knicks as part of the David Lee sign-and-trade deal. Azubuike became one of the many revolving salary cap slots held by the Knicks over the last couple

Game of the night: Dallas at Oklahoma City

by

Even if Dirk Nowitzki is feeling as good as he did against the Jazz on Saturday when he scored a season high 40 points in just under 29 minutes, defeating the best home team in the league will be a tall task for the Dallas Mavericks. Nowitzki and the Mavericks (22-16) visit Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder (29-8) for their final meeting this season in Monday night’s best game. The Thunder has won two of the three meetings this season

Tuesday’s trade chatter from around the NBA

by

Does Lamar Odom want out of Dallas? And if he does, will the Mavericks let him leave? Well, that depends on who you believe. It’s no secret Odom is unhappy in Dallas. The reigning Sixth Man Award winner is having by far the worst season of his career, unable to adapt his all-around game – that normally would fit almost anywhere – with the defending champions. Right now, Odom is not even with the Mavericks. He left the team midway through last week

Nets arena construction on schedule in Brooklyn

by

An arena grows in Brooklyn, as you can see in the photo below. The Nets released it this morning, announcing that construction is on schedule and the Barclays Center is scheduled to open Sept. 28. Of course, there is no word yet on whether Dwight Howard and Deron Williams will be playing together in Brooklyn next season. The Nets remain the prohibitive favorites to land both, unless the Dallas Mavericks can trade away Shawn Marion’s two remaining years for an expiring

Tonight’s best game: Dallas at Philadelphia

by

There is a school of thought that after a slow start, the defending champion Dallas Mavericks are starting to figure things out. There also is a school of thought that after a quick start, the Philadelphia 76ers are coming back to the pack. Both of those notions will be tested when the Mavericks visit the 76ers in Friday’s best NBA game. The Mavericks (19-11) have matched a season high with five straight wins, and there’s not a bad one in the bunch.
