Happy Thursday!
Happy for a few reasons... one, because my Miami Hurricanes kick off their season tonight and two, we have a new author to welcome to our team! 'Tom Kanti' has an affinity for trades and rosters, so hopefully we'll be able to have some more analyses of that nature. You guys have read and participated in his posts already, so now I'll let him provide his own introduction!
"I'm Frank B. Aka Tom Kanti. I am from Los Angeles. I became a Mavs fan when Dirk, Nash and co. lost to the Kings in the playoffs. Was hooked to the Mavs ever since. Got my Dirk jersey, wearing it proud through the jeers of Laker "fans". It will be a sweet memory once the Mavs win a championship, and I am hopeful to be able to fly to Dallas to see a parade with other bloggers. Thanks for the welcome and be a MFFL!"
Realistically: Can Dallas Win?

The easiest thing to do in the NBA, or any other sports for that matter, is to spew out facts and reasons as to why your respective team should win an NBA championship that year.
It is very easy to just state your reasons why it's your team's year, but what is forgotten by a lot of people about this, is that to win a Championship you can't just be a great club. You must be able to stand toe to toe against every other team, and beat them. This isn't Football(No offense at all to the sports). You can't Cinderella your way into the Finals(The Superbowl) by winning 3 games, 1 of which can be a bad game by the other team, another you have a good day, and a 3rd it's good luck or good bounces, or maybe weather, etc. To beat a team 4 out of 7 times, you must be a better team than them. You might edge out 1 lucky series, but you will not win 16 playoff games in 1 year unless you truly deserve to win a ring.
For you doubters, please take into account I'm no homer that believes we'll go 82-0, I'm not saying we will beat these team, merely that we CAN.
Quick warning- Brace yourself for and expect Sarcasm. If it's blatantly obvious something isn't true, well, chances are I'm not serious. Cha-Ching!
The Myth Surrounding Late Late First Round Picks
by mayur.patel on Sep 1, 2010 9:37 AM CDT

Over this past off season and throughout the Summer League, a lot of people began to be excited about the future prospects of Rodrigue Beaubois (extending from last season) and Dominique Jones. Now as any NBA analyst would point out, these guys have very little experience and are unproven as late first round picks. The experience part is hard to argue, but the theory that late first round picks are often shoot and miss and will often turn out unsuccessful is interesting to look at.
Passing The Time: 101Q Series for the Summer #10

I fail.
There's no excuse. All I can do is apologize for slacking so hard.
Since it's been a bit slow, other than tracking our international players as they dominate abroad (JJ is playing out of his mind...) we haven't had much to talk about on MMB so I'll put a few questions up today. I'm skipping one because we've sort of already answered it, so we'll pick up with questions 24-27.
24. What's the most important ingredient for success in the NBA?
25. If you could pull any coach from history to lead your current squad who would it be and why? (this can be active coaches as well.)
26. Chemistry: key to victory or completely overrated? (we should have plenty to say about this, as we made some major roster changes mid-season.)
27. Would you rather be the owner, coach, or General Manager of the Mavericks and why? (I believe this is referring to what power you'd have over your team. Otherwise we'd all say Cubes because he's filthy rich.)
Mavs' Final Report Card

Well, after our first community report card, we have come up with these grades for the following people (10 is the highest and 1 is the lowest):
Dirk Nowitzki– 9/10 (too close to call either way)
Jason Kidd– 8
Shawn Marion – 6
Jason Terry – 5/6
Caron Butler – 7
Brendan Haywood – 7
If you have yet to voice your opinion on any of the players/coaches, go ahead and follow the links (click on the person's name to get to the polls) and vote! We'll try and do this again at mid-season with hopefully a larger amount of players to grade, but it is pretty interesting to look at these grades.
Any thoughts? Anyone too low or too high?

Lazy edition.
Yeah, i think these advertisers know their job very well...
So, to make things short: The Dallas Mavericks do have several players/prospects participating in these games. Guess how they fared...
The Value of a Frenemy

The Mavericks have really established themselves as a solid NBA franchise over the past decade, consistency is a major reason for that. Ten consecutive seasons of 50 or more wins is a very rare accomplishment in the league and they're arguably in the mix to be a title contender. You need a lot of things to work out, but there is always talent around the Mavericks franchise so that always gives them a chance to chase the ring. There are a lot of reasons for their continued success, but there is one big reason that might be unrecognized and I want to discuss that reason.

Damage vs. Productivity
by KarimTheDream on Aug 28, 2010 12:50 PM CDT

With so much attention going to analysts predicting the season already, and listing and ranking players, I figured it might be time to throw around some praises and hate as well, about our teammates.
It is very clear to see that this Dallas team is rather old, with many of our players being a bit past their prime. Does being past your prime mean you can't help your team win a title? Not at all. See: Derek Fisher.
