 Mavs Monday features a media interview with Kristaps Porzinigs and the changes for the upcoming NBA season.

Joe Johnson talks about his Nets turnaround and his development under head coach Jason Kidd. Photo credit NBA  by  +Rodney Fisher When the Brooklyn Nets started the 2013-14 NBA season, with a first-year head coach with a new roster of veterans, expectations where high. After a 10-21 record before New Years Day, those hopes turned into nightmares. Since then the Nets have the hottest team in the Eastern Conference with a 28-12 record, good enough for a fifth place seed. After the Nets overtime win over the Dallas Mavericks (107-104), I had the chance to chat with six-time NBA All-Star Joe Johnson about the team's turnaround, his new coach, and what makes him so lucky in the final seconds of a game.

by J.T. Jason Kidd fined $50,000 for spilling drink on purpose. Photo credit YES  With no timeout left with less than 9 seconds left in the game Jason Kidd told Tayshawn Taylor to bump into him so he would drop his drink. Hilarious, but smart because it gave him a free timeout to allow the Nets to draw up a last possession play.

First  Grant Hill hangs up his Fila's , now Jason Kidd hangs up the Nike's. It seems like my childhood is ending right before my eyes. Dog I'm getting old but that's besides the point. Kidd played for 19 seasons after being drafted in 1994, yeah think about it man that's a long time. Kidd played for the Mavs 2xs, Suns, New Jersey Nets and Knicks. He also was co rookie of the year with Grant Hill, an All Star 10xs, All NBA Defensive 9xs (1st or 2nd), All NBA 6xs (1st or 2nd team) and an owner of one NBA Title.

Pacers take a 3-1 Series Lead over NY Knicks The second round of the NBA playoffs rolls on as the Indiana Pacers now find themselves one victory away from advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals. Carmelo Anthony continued his poor shooting, 9-26, from the floor and Jason Kidd as yet to make a point since before the NFL draft. Iman Shumpert, who was questionable to play, did not score in the 16 minutes he played. The Knicks have not been able to get any offense going since game 2.

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...

Mavs beat Lakers 109-100; Kidd comes up Big « 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 ...

Devin Harris left the game with 6:33 left in the 1st qtr and Nets have been able to do nothing since then. The Mavs shot 64.9% in the first half with leads as big as 18pts. Shawn Marion has 14 and Caron Butler has 13 to lead all scorers. The Nets have no players in double figures in any statistical category. Devin did return late in the 2nd qtr, but with a heavily wrapped shoulder. Jason Kidd ends the second half with 3pt shot with .03 left.
