From Tim MacMahon, ESPN Dallas The Dallas Mavericks’ chances of going 82-0 took a huge hit today, as 2007 MVP and 2011 Finals’ MVP Dirk Nowitzki underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right knee. The Mavs’ training staff has drained his knee twice already this month, but it hasn’t stopped swelling, prompting Nowitzki to opt for … Read more

by Justin Cherot I remember it being my first week at Towson University after getting my Associate’s Degree from Howard Community College (but only after famously bombing at the University of Maryland). I was 22 without any semblance of back issues, so I decided to trek down to Burdick Hall to get my hoop … Read more

by Justin Cherot If you’re any kind of diehard sports fanatic, at some point you’ve probably been forced to watch a game via an auto-refreshing box score or Gamecast-like vehicle. Even with my DVR, I still sometimes enjoy the drama of a re-loading screen in the waning moments of a game. It’s akin to playing … Read more

by Justin Cherot I know what you’re thinking. “Really, Justin? It’s March There are so many other games you can write about, like Lehigh beating Duke or Norfolk State beating Missouri.” Agreed. I mean, it’s not like I missed those games. In fact, I’d even say I saw the majority of both games and thought … Read more

by Justin Cherot Let me get this out of the way first: yeah, the New York Knicks obviously beat my Dallas Mavericks yesterday afternoon. I’d like to point out that in the midst of all this Linsanity, the Mavs had won six straight games prior and were playing great basketball against pretty good competition. The Knicks hit some … Read more

by Justin Cherot This summer should have been awesome. Don’t get me wrong: in many ways it was. After all, I did become a homeowner with a certified Man Cave that’s so awesome it deserves capital letters. Sure, I had to deal with everything that comes along with home ownership (mowing, garden cultivating, painting, paying ridiculous bills that to … Read more

by Justin Cherot I’m an athlete playing for a franchise in Dallas with an owner who, for better or worse, will throw money at everything and hopes a championship will materialize. I’ve got undeniable talent, and every year my statistics are through the roof. But every year–every single f#$%in’ year–I have to hear the same … Read more

by Justin Cherot I have a friend who is not looking forward to the NBA Finals, not if it involves the newly-crowned Western Conference champion Dallas Mavericks and the Miami Heat, who have a stranglehold on the Eastern Conference finals against the Chicago Bulls. The premise for why he is disenchanted? The whole notion that … Read more

by Justin Cherot So… what’d you think of THAT first round? Let’s do a quick inventory: An eight seed (Memphis) tanked down the stretch to get the team with the second best record in basketball (San Antonio), and the Grizzlies justified their tankage by undressing the Spurs. With the exception of the Atlanta/Orlando series (which honestly I couldn’t wait to … Read more
