Devin Harris 16 Points Full Highlights (2/5/2018)

Devin Harris might be among the most forgotten veteran players in the NBA. He’s been on the Mavericks for quite a while now, and there are never any trade rumors swirling around him, so he never attracts the attention of other fanbases except when he scores in double-digits against their team. The national NBA discussion…

Wesley Matthews 23 Points/7 Threes/5 Assists Full Highlights (2/5/2018)

It’s sort of weird to think about, but Wes Matthews has only made more than seven three-pointers in a single game two times. He once made eight while playing for the Blazers, and back in December of 2015 he made ten of them for the Mavericks. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by the Steph Curries and…

Dwight Powell 17 Points/5 Dunks Full Highlights (2/3/2018)

Dwight “Dwight Power” Powell is basically the next Clint Capela, who was basically the next DeAndre Jordan, except Powell isn’t quite as beefy or imposing. Still, against certain defenses he is unstoppable in the pick-and-roll (like against the Kings – Koufos was getting absolutely victimized), and for a lot of teams, that’s all you need…

Dennis Smith Jr. 18 Points/7 Assists Full Highlights (1/26/2018)

Once again, Dennis Smith Jr. pads his stats in the fourth quarter. Maybe “pads” isn’t the right word, so what, deal with it. Unlike the other times, though, the Mavericks were so far behind by the time he started going off that he couldn’t even bring them close. Offseason plan for Dennis: go to an…

Yogi Ferrell 19 Points Full Highlights (1/24/2018)

Yogi “All’s Ferrell in Love and War” Ferrell just doesn’t excite me. For whatever reason, I can’t muster even the smallest amount of hype for him. Theoretically I should be able to appreciate a six-foot-tall dude who can make it rain from three, but not so with Ferrell. Maybe his face is too square, I…

Wesley Matthews 29 Points/7 Threes Full Highlights (1/24/2018)

Wesley “Consolation Prize” Matthews may be getting paid a ton of money, but at least he can still sort of play basketball. There a bunch of players getting paid out there who can’t. And it’s not like he’s even getting that much worse; he arrived in Dallas an okay-ish player, and an okay-ish player he…

Wesley Matthews 23 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2018)

Wes Matthews AKA “The Best Wes” was never the same after his Achilles tendon turned into Achilles spaghetti, but at least the Mavericks were nice enough to give him a contract that would allow him to comfortably live out the rest of his days. Matthews will definitely be picking up the $18 million player option…

Dirk Nowitzki 21 Points Full Highlights (1/20/2018)

When Dirk Nowitzki heard his doorbell ring, he strongly considered not even getting up from his couch. It was only when he remembered that he had a large shipment of German meat products arriving soon, a shipment that he would have to sign for, did he slowly lift his tall body off the comfortable sofa…

Dennis Smith Jr. 21 Points/6 Assists Full Highlights (1/20/2018)

I’m really feeling this connection between Dennis Smith Jr. and Dirk Nowitzki. Young and old. Black and white. Short and tall. An unlikely pairing, no doubt, but a fruitful one. Stockton and Malone is an easy comparison to make, but those two had their whole careers to maximize their partnership, to learn each other’s curves…

Devin Harris 16 Points Full Highlights (1/16/2018)

Looking at the All-Star rosters from the year Devin Harris was in the All-Star game is a crazy trip. The 2008-09 season was almost a decade ago! Jameer Nelson and Mo Williams were somehow All-Stars in the East (worst All-Star point guard rotation of all time?), and Shaq, in his third-to-last season, was still All-Starry…
