The Mavericks' season has come and gone again, and hopefully we helped you celebrate the highs and vent during the lows here at Mavs Moneyball. The news cycle in a professional sports league is so quick, and I couldn't even start to remind you of all the stories I wrote this year off the top of my head, let alone our site's staff in general. Certainly, we wouldn't expect you to have seen or to remember everything, either. That's alright. We can help with that.
Let's run through the season, from the preseason to Game 87, and highlight some of our best work. I'm aiming for pieces that still have long-lasting value, so this list will slant slightly away from in-the-moment analysis. The upside of that is you can click on literally any story and it should be a great read, no matter how many months have passed. Bookmark it, leave it hanging in a tab, do whatever you need to do, but hopefully, if there's anything you missed from our Mavericks coverage this season, you can get caught up here.
