Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban blames himself for the franchise's failure to make the playoffs this season.

DALLAS -- Mark Cuban, the Mavericks' unofficial boo leader, didn't hesitate to highly recommend that fellow MFFLs loudly direct their wrath at Derek Fisher on Sunday. What about Deron Williams tonight? Cuban is keeping his mouth shut on that on...

DALLAS - The last time the Mavericks endured a losing season, there was a lot of legitimate, tangible reason for hope. Michael Finley was an established, young franchise cornerstone. Steve Nash turned a corner in his career midway through that sea...

He looked like Dirk Nowitzki during this road trip, just in limited doses. Nowitzki, a week in a half into the process of working back into Hall of Fame form, scored 30 points on 12-of-22 shooting in 46 minutes during the Mavericks' 1-1 road trip....

Mavericks fans, Mark Cuban must disregard Jason Kidd's hasty exit and cheer his return as member of Knicks.

Kevin Durant's quest for title may not take long if he can be consistent closer.

Lamar Odom reached a new personal low with his one-point, one-rebound, one-assist outing in 24 minutes against the Lakers. That's hard to do when playing half a game, but it's not like such non-productivity is unprecedented in the NBA. Heck, a mem...

Mavs' Vince Carter has been at his best when he has his back to the basket.

Blake Griffin's beastly dunk over Oklahoma City's Kendrick Perkins got my mind racing about the best dunks in Mavs history. Then I had to adjust it to the best dunks of modern-day Mavs history. Hey, my memory is foggy and YouTube is lacking on dun...

Dirk Nowitzki spent the early stages of his career as a 7-foot decoy when the game was on the line, preferring to defer to Michael Finley and Steve Nash in such situations. A strong case can now be made that there's no better clutch player in the ...

DALLAS -- The "but" has been removed from the sentence. Dirk Nowitzki is one of the all-time greats. Period. His critics -- an army that included Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade, who called out Nowitzki for failing to come through as a closer in th...

Maybe Jason Terry has a post-NBA career as an interior decorator. He's already making plans to spruce up the American Airlines Center. "There's some new jerseys coming to town!" Terry said during the post-parade ceremony as he pointed up toward th...

DALLAS - Dominique Jones is known as a scorer, not necessarily a shooter. But the Mavs believe he can develop into a knockdown shooter, much like Donnie Nelson witnessed Michael Finley do throughout the course of his career. That process started t...

Mark Cuban did Michael Finley a huge favor when the Mavs' owner took advantage of a one-time NBA cost-cutting allowance to cut ties with the franchise's one-time cornerstone. Finley was still the highest-paid man on the Mavs' payroll the next few ...

DALLAS -- Kevin Garnett's suspension for Game 2 of the Celtics-Heat series served as a valuable reminder for the rest of the league. "You want to play physical and want to set the tone," Dirk Nowitzki said, "but you don't want to do anything stupi...
