Rajon Rondo, Monta Ellis, and Chandler Parsons power the Dallas Mavericks Dallas-- After watching Dirk Nowitzki carry the Dallas Mavericks for 16 years, it is now time for us to face the reality. The team no longer goes as Dirk goes. They have a new younger identity. by  +Rodney Fisher

The Dallas Mavericks media day was again filled with more than a few new faces for the fourth straight year since winning the championship in 2011, but it was the return of familiar face that seem to light up the room. Returning to Dallas is the seven-foot Tyson Chandler, whom many say was the critical roster addition that won the franchise's first NBA title. by  +Rodney Fisher  

Knicks are 2-4, bottom of Eastern Conference. Photo credit NBA  by Rodney Fisher Just when Knicks' fans thought the 2013-14 season could not start any worse, the Spurs come to town and blowout the team by 31 on their home court. Coach Mike Woodson called the loss "unacceptable". Soon to be free agent Carmelo Anthony said, "We didn't compete today, and it showed out there on the court." Getting J.R. Smith back in the lineup apparently wasn't the answer. Now at  2-4 and tied for last in the Eastern Conference, just how bad are the New York Knicks?

Day 2 finds us interviewing the 2013 NBA All-Stars. Check it out...

Today the Dallas Mavericks meet President Obama at the White House. Dirk took to twitter to expresses his thoughts on his missing championship teammates. @Swish41 "I wish caron, jj, tyson, caron and d steve were with us." One new Mav will not be able to go to the White House due to his criminal past. DC native Delonte West was banned from meeting the President after the his White House background check.

Arriving at the Mavs first official practice today one could easily assume that this team never won a title. A small group of media people  that were all locally based, no ESPN talking heads, and only 10 basketball players made what should be a huge moment for a franchise with it's first Championship seem normal. Other than Shawn Marion's choice of hair color, the most eye catching issue were the players in attendance. Or the lack of players in attendance. During Coach Carlisle's q and a we learned that Brandon Hayward would be the starting center for the reigning champs. Sounds good on the surface until you realize that Tyson Chandler, the best center in Mavs history, is not on this team. He joins the NY Knicks frontcourt that Jason Kidd pointed out is the same the frontcourt that qualified the USA for the Olympics. Ian Mahinmi will be Hayward's back up for now. J.J. Barea, Deshawn Stevenson, Brian Cardinal, Caron Butler and Peja were all missing as well. So much for t...

Tyson Chandler has another big game, Dirk hits the game winner as Mavs beat Nets 87-86 « dallasmavsblog.com

Mavs lose to Bulls 82-77; 5th straight road loss « dallasmavsblog.com

   Today Caron Butler had season ending surgery to repair a torn patellar tendon in his knee. His last full game with the team he hit 30pts in a loss to the Spurs at home. On the road against the Milwaukee Bucks you can hear him screaming in pain when he hit the knee in the first quarter. You knew then, it was not gonna be good.   Dirk missed his 5th straight game tonight against the Portland Trailblazers, a win by the way. But they have Oklahoma City and Orlando coming up, so will they rush Dirk back? The "Big German" has been a quick healer. The Mavs are only 3 games ahead of the Lakers and Utah right now. The biggest concern has to be falling further behind the Spurs in the division and the conference.   Who will step up now? That is the million dollar question for this team. Deshawn Stevenson had 21pts against the Cavaliers and 18pts tonight. JJ Barea hit 29pts in the loss to the Bucks. Tyson Chandler has back-to-back double doubles in rebounds and points. Jet Terry ...
