Obtaining great Mavericks Tickets has always proven to be a very difficult process, with many people settling for sub-par seating far away from the action - hardly worth even going to the game! We know you want to get down close and support the Mavericks, and the tickets are out there, you just have to know where to look...
2007-08 Dallas Mavericks
Another Texas championship team, with a very talented roster. Dirk is back for another stellar season, with Jason Terry at the two guard. They have a pretty good bench as well, which will make for an un-stressful draft. Owner Mark Cuban spares no expense in making Dallas a top NBA franchise and keeping ticket buyers happy. The Mavs had the best overall NBA record last season, and it should not be different for 2007-08. Fans can expect the Mavericks to go far this season, and for them to improve their shooting game.
Previous Seasons
Contending just won’t cut it for Dallas Mavericks ticket holders this season. Head coach Avery Johnson agrees. With All-Star Dirk Nowitzki and rising star Jason Terry, there’s simply just too much talent roaming around the court at the American Airlines Arena not to make a run at an NBA Championship. If the Nowitzki and company can make it happen, it would be a franchise first and a dream come true for enthusiastic owner Mark Cuban.
Dallas entered the NBA with an expansion team in 1980. The Dallas Mavericks got off to a rough start when their top pick refused to sign and was traded away. The team struggled in its first season, posting a 15-67 record but by their second season some signs of life began to emerge. That second season the mavericks were very young, featuring three key players in their first professional season. Jay Vincent, Mark, Aguirre, and Rolando Blackman took some time to jell, but by the end of the season the Mavericks were fairly competitive and finished with an improvement over the previous season of 13 wins to finish 28-54. The uphill trek continued slowly in 1982-83 as the Mavericks added another 10 wins to that total.
Dallas started things rolling early in the 1983-84 campaign and carried it through the season to finish at 43-39, the first winning season in franchise history, and earned a playoff berth with a 2nd place ranking in the Midwest Division, another franchise first. For a franchise entering its first post-season play, the Mavericks did well, knocking off the Seattle Supersonics in the first round before being eliminated by the Los Angeles Lakers in the second round. The momentum carried over to the 1984-85 season as Dallas continued to improve on its regular season record but in the playoffs the Mavericks failed to get past the first round.
1988 was a watershed year for Dallas. Battling all year long for the division title the Mavericks finished in second place to the Denver Nuggets. After eliminating the Houston Rockets, the Mavericks finally upended the Nuggets in six games to advance to their first Western Conference Finals appearance. In a heated series, the Mavericks managed to stay even with the Los Angeles Lakers, but were knocked out with a Game 7 loss.
The Mavs returned to the Conference Finals in 2003 after posting an NBA best 60-22 record. Getting past the first round of the playoffs was tough. The Mavericks rolled out to a 3-0 advantage before falling apart and allowing the Portland trail Blazers to even the series. Facing elimination, Dallas rallied late in Game 7 to move on to the second round. Another seven game series with the Sacramento Kings set up a Western Conference Finals match up with the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs, aided by the Maverick’s loss of Dirk Nowitzki to a knee injury, sent the Mavericks home after six games.
The modern Mavs are runnin’ and gunnin’ once again in the American Airlines Arena.
