Mavs Get 'Intuit' in Preseason

Aug. 12 NBA PLAYOFF REMATCH FOR MAVS The Dallas Mavericks will face a familiar playoff foe on Oct. 14. According to NBA insider Marc Stein , the Los Angeles Clippers' debut game in the Intuit Dome will come against the Mavericks. The last time the Mavericks played the Clippers occurred in the 2024 NBA playoffs. Dallas beat the Clippers 4-2 in the first round, beating the Clippers in convincing fashion in Game 6.

While the Mavericks recently beat the Clippers in the playoffs, the franchise is still behind regarding postseason matchups. Los Angeles has the upper hand, winning two of three playoff matchups in 2020 and 2021.

The Clippers host the Phoenix Suns in their regular season debut at the new building on Oct. 23.

AUG 11 'NO ENTERTAINMENT' BALL IN EUROPE? Dennis Schroder has made quite a name for himself in FIBA basketball in the last few years. Although Germany finished fourth in men's Olympic basketball, the veteran NBA point guard displays a solid commitment to his native nation. Germany defeated Serbia 83-77 in the 2023 FIBA World Cup.

However, Schroder's recent Olympic performance earned him a spot in the All-Star Five. He averaged 17 points and 7.5 assists and shot an efficient 39 percent from behind the three-point line.

Schroder's respect for European basketball bled into a recent postgame press conference. Germany's star point guard discussed the difference between European leagues and the NBA.

The Brooklyn Nets point guard admitted that the NBA is the best league in the world but that the "Europeans are coming."
