According to the Elias Sports Bureau, over the last 25 seasons, the only other team to lose at least its first three games of a season following an appearance in the NBA Finals was the Philadelphia 76ers, who dropped their first five games in 2001 also according to Elias, of the 57 teams in NBA history to win 60 games, no other team started the following season with more than two losses before their first victory only one posted an 0-2 start (the Lakers in 1990) in addition, Elias says the only other team to have won at least six consecutive games immediately after starting a season with four or more losses was Philly in 2001 (seven straight wins after an 0-5 start). Despite starting the season 0-4, Dallas is now 11-4 and leads San Antonio in the Southwest division by a half a game last season, the Mavericks finished with a franchise-high tying 60 wins what was the Mavericks record after 15 games???

DIRK ALERT: On 11/20, the NBA named Dirk Nowitzki Western Conference Player of the Week for games played from /19. Although Nowitzki was Western Conference Player of the Month last December, his last Player of the Week award came in early December of It is the sixth time Nowitzki has earned Player of the Week honors. No other Maverick in team history has won the award more than three times. Jason Terry was the last Maverick to be named Player of the Week back on 1/23/05. GOOD VS. EVIL: Here s a look at some statistics in wins vs. losses this season: WINS LOSSES WINS LOSSES WINS LOSSES PPG PT% Dirk s PPG Opp. PPG Opp. 3PT% Dirk s FG% FG% Reb. Differential Terry s PPG Opp. FG% FT% Terry s FG% IT WAS THE BEST OF TIMES, IT WAS THE WORST OF TIMES: Unfortunately, the Mavericks fell two wins shy of winning the franchise s first NBA Championship but don t forget some of the great moments last season: Dallas won a franchise-high tying 60 games in the regular season. The Mavericks advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history. In just his first full season as head coach, Avery Johnson was named NBA Coach of the Year. The Mavericks coaching staff represented the Western Conference at the 2006 All-Star Game and Dirk Nowitzki won the 3-point contest. Dirk Nowitzki was named First Team All-NBA for the second straight season and finished third in MVP voting for the second consecutive year. Once again, Dallas sold out all 41 regular season home games, extending the streak to 194 consecutive regular season sellouts. NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND: Recent history says that the Mavericks won t be able to rest on their laurels if they hope to make the NBA Finals again this season. Since the start of the season, only two teams have lost the Finals and made it back the following season (Utah in and New Jersey in ). The last time a team won the championship the season after losing in the Finals was Detroit in In NBA history, the team who lost the Finals has gone on to win the championship nine times the following season and at least made it to the Finals an additional 11 times. BEEN THERE, DONE THAT: Heading into the 2006 NBA Finals, Dallas had just two players (Darrell Armstrong and Keith Van Horn) who were part of teams that made the Finals. Now, in addition to the returning Mavericks, Dallas added three players this past offseason who have Finals experience: Austin Croshere (2000 Finals with Indiana), Devean George (2000, 2001 and 2002 with the L.A. Lakers) and Anthony Johnson (2002 with New Jersey). In addition, George has won three championships, which is three more than the rest of the Mavericks team combined. The last time Dallas had a player on its roster who was part of a championship team was in (Scott Williams). HITTING THE GROUND RUNNING: Seven of the Mavericks first 12 games were on the road and Dallas did not have any consecutive home games during that stretch. Starting on 11/27, Dallas began a stretch where eight of its next 11 games were at home, with only six of those 11 games against teams that made the 2006 playoffs. The Mavericks will play 12 of their final 18 games of the season on the road. VOTE EARLY, VOTE OFTEN: Last season, Dirk Nowitzki was the only Maverick to make the All-Star team despite the fact Dallas went on to win 60 games. Since the lockout shortened season in , a total of nine teams have won 60+ games and Dallas was only the second to have fewer than two players selected for the All-Star game. In , San Antonio won 60 games but Tim Duncan was the Spurs only representative in the All-Star game and he was named MVP that season. However, after Duncan, the Spurs second-leading scorer was Tony Parker with just 15.5 points per game. Jason Terry averaged 17.1 ppg for Dallas last season and is still looking for his first All-Star appearance. Josh Howard is looking to make his first All-Star game as well. JUST THE TWO OF US: The Mavericks and Spurs are the only two teams to have won 50+ games in each of the past six seasons. On 3/14/06 vs. Cleveland, Dallas secured its eighth 50-win season in team history. In the decade of the 90 s, the Mavericks LOST 50+ games in seven of the 10 seasons. Here s a look at the records of the Mavericks and Spurs over the past six seasons: TOTAL Mavericks (.692) Spurs (.720) FEELING RIGHT AT HOME: After going at home in , Dallas improved to 34-7 at American Airlines Center in Head Coach Avery Johnson owns a career coaching mark of 48-9 at home. The Mavericks won 27 of their final 31 home games, including 16 straight from 1/3-3/3/06, which is the longest streak in team history. 20,000 MANIAACS: Dallas has had a crowd of 20,000+ fans in five of its eight home games this season after having 20,000+ in 29 of the 41 home games in The listed capacity for American Airlines Center is 19,200 but that can be surpassed because of attendance in the suites. The Mavericks have sold out 202 consecutive home games ( record). The streak started on 12/15/01. Dallas has sold out an additional 35 playoff and 12 preseason games during that same stretch. Since moving into American Airlines Center ( season), the Mavericks have posted a home mark of (.793). Dallas has sold out all 41 games in each of the past four seasons. KINGS OF THE ROAD: The Mavericks couldn t top their franchise-best road mark of set in , but they turned in a very respectable record in That was the fourth best road mark in team history. The Mavericks won six straight on the road from 1/18-2/1, which tied for the fourth longest road winning streak in franchise history.

6 IN GOOD HANDS: Dallas was the only team last season whose top three scorers (Dirk Nowitzki, Jason Terry and Josh Howard) all averaged fewer than 2.0 turnovers per game. Of the league s top 15 scorers, Nowitzki was the only player to average fewer than 2.0 tpg. The Mavericks were also one of just two teams (Boston) whose top three scorers all shot at least 47.0% from the floor. LOTTA TALENT: Of the 15 players currently on the roster, 10 were former first round draft picks (Maurice Ager, Austin Croshere, Erick Dampier, Gana Diop, Devean George, Devin Harris, Josh Howard, Dirk Nowitzki, Jerry Stackhouse and Jason Terry). Six of those 10 were top-10 picks (Dampier, Diop, Harris, Nowitzki, Stackhouse and Terry). Stackhouse holds the honor of being the highest drafted Maverick (third overall by Philadelphia in 1995). Two Mavericks were second-round picks (Greg Buckner by Dallas in 1998 and Anthony Johnson). Three Mavericks were undrafted (Jose Juan Barea, DJ Mbenga and Pops Mensah-Bonsu). PLAYER NOTES D-NO DOES IT: Not too many people thought that Dirk Nowitzki could top his MVP caliber performance in , but he did just that last season, setting several career-highs in the process. Nowitzki averaged a career-best 26.6 points per game while also posting career-highs in ALL THREE shooting categories (FG%, 3PT% and FT%). In fact, Nowitzki became just the third player (Rick Barry and Larry Bird) in league history to average at least 26.0 points for a season while shooting 90.0% or better from the foul line. For the second straight season, he finished third in MVP voting and was named First Team All-NBA. Nowitzki is one of four players (Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Shaquille O Neal) to be named to an All-NBA Team in each of the past six seasons. Nowitzki never scored fewer than 14 points during the season. NO MORE SURPRISES: Josh Howard won t be able to catch teams off-guard anymore. Howard solidified himself as one of the league s rising stars in and is looking to build upon that success this season. He increased his scoring from 12.6 ppg in to 15.6 ppg this past season. The Mavericks finished the regular season an amazing 19-0 in games in which Howard scored 20 or more points and 12-0 when he recorded a double-double. Howard shot a team-high 42.9% from 3-point range in after shooting just 29.8% his first two seasons. In the playoffs, he knocked down 24 3-pointers in 23 games after hitting just 27 in 59 regular season games played. Opponents shot 40.4% from 3- point range in games he missed last season, compared to 34.3% in games that he played. GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT: Two years ago, some folks were ready to run Jason Terry out of town, as the newly acquired guard was struggling to find his way with the Mavericks. Fast forward to this past summer, when Maverick fans were ready to riot if the freeagent guard wasn t brought back to Dallas. Terry found his comfort zone with the Mavericks in , averaging 17.1 points per game, up from 12.4 ppg in He drilled pointers in , the second most ever by a Maverick in a single season. Terry has tallied pointers and 100+ steals in each of the past six seasons. In his first two seasons with the Mavericks, Terry shot a combined 48.2% from the floor after not shooting above 43.6% in any of his first five NBA seasons. He has also never shot below 80.0% from the line during his seven-year career. Here s the Top 5 in 3PTM in the NBA since the start of : 3FGM 3FGA 3FG% 1) Ray Allen ) Peja Stojakovic ) Antoine Walker ) Jason Terry ) Paul Pierce STACK S HOUSE OF PAIN: After missing the first 26 games of the season with a sore right knee, Jerry Stackhouse is more than anxious to hit the ground running this season. The Mavericks were a very respectable 19-7 in those first 26 games without Stackhouse, but posted a mark in games that he played. In 27 total games without Stackhouse, the Mavericks outscored opponents 99.0 ppg to With him in the lineup, Dallas averaged 97.2 ppg to 91.9 for its opponents. In , Stackhouse single-handedly outscored the opponents bench seven times during the regular season and an amazing nine times in the playoffs. Stackhouse shot a career-high 88.2% from the line in (seventh in the NBA) and has not shot below 80.0% from the line since the start of the season. IRON ERICK: Last season, Erick Dampier was the only Maverick to appear in all 82 games. Despite averaging just 23.6 minutes per game, he ranked tied for third in the NBA in offensive rebounding (3.3 orpg), tied for 21st in overall rebounding (7.8 rpg) and 27th in blocks (1.29 bpg). Dampier also ranked third in the NBA in rebounds per 48 minutes played (16.0). Over the past four seasons (including ), when Dampier scores in double-digits, the Mavericks are Dallas was 7-0 when he recorded a double-double in Over the past four seasons ( through ), Dampier has shot 52.0% from the floor compared to 41.8% his first six seasons. GREAT EXPECTATIONS: Fantasy basketball players are keeping their eyes on third-year guard Devin Harris who showed great improvement in after an up-and-down rookie campaign. Harris averaged 9.9 points (46.9% FGs), 3.2 assists and 2.2 rebounds in after averaging 5.7 points (42.9% FGs), 2.2 assists and 1.3 rebounds as a rookie. On 11/5/05 vs. San Antonio, Harris scored 20 points in the fourth quarter after not having scored more than 19 points in a game as a rookie. Harris attempted just 21 3-pointers to 236 free throws last season after attempting pointers to 103 free throws as a rookie. LATE BLOOMER: After being labeled a bust following four lackluster seasons with Cleveland, Gana Diop, the eighth overall pick in the 2001 NBA Draft, finally began to show his value out on the court. Diop appeared in all but one game for Dallas, starting the final 45 games he played in. He averaged 18.6 minutes per game last season after averaging just 10.8 mpg while with the Cavaliers. Diop shot 48.7% from the floor in after shooting a combined 35.8% his first four seasons. Diop ranked 14th in the NBA in blocks (1.80 bpg) and fourth in blocks per 48 minutes played (4.64). In , he had 44 steals to just 36 turnovers. ANOTHER AJ: In addition to head coach and former point guard Avery Johnson, the Mavericks now have a current point guard named Anthony Johnson. In the 2006 playoffs, Johnson scored 40 points for Indiana in Game 6 of its first round matchup vs. New Jersey. Prior to that game, Johnson s career-high (regular season or playoffs) was 27 points set against Charlotte back in January. Johnson averaged 20.0 points, 5.2 assists and 5.0 rebounds in that first round series vs. New Jersey compared to regular season career averages of 5.7 points, 2.8 assists and 1.7 rebounds heading into this season. Johnson also averaged a career-high 9.2 points last season and knocked down a career-best 51 3-pointers. He scored 22+ points four times in after reaching that total just once in his career entering the season.

7 BUCK S BACK: In what has become a bit of a Mavericks tradition, another former player is making his return. Greg Buckner played his first three seasons with the Mavericks from through Last season for Denver, he averaged a career-high 6.7 points, 2.9 rebounds, 1.7 assists and a career-high 1.19 steals. Buckner hit 86 3-pointers in after having just 93 in his first six seasons combined. Over the final 45 games of the season, he averaged 7.9 points and pointers per game. He was also Denver s third leading scorer in the 2006 playoffs with 12.6 points per game. During a 17-game stretch from 1/2-2/6/06, he committed a total of 5 turnovers in 395 minutes of play. For his career, Buckner has 364 steals to 293 turnovers (1.24 ratio). MBAKE ROOM FOR MBENGA: After two seasons of learning the ropes, DJ Mbenga is looking to become a steady performer for Dallas in Mbenga appeared in 43 games last season, averaging 1.7 points and 1.3 rebounds in 5.5 minutes per game. He also shot 53.3% from the floor. Of all players who appeared in at least one game in , Mbenga ranked third in the NBA in blocks per 48 minutes played (5.00). YES, AUSTIN S IN TEXAS: Austin Croshere joins the Mavericks after having spent all nine of his NBA seasons with the Indiana Pacers. Injuries limited Croshere to just 50 games played last season, but he still made a career-high 26 starts. He also shot a career-best 46.3% from the floor after shooting a combined 40.5% his first eight seasons. Croshere also averaged 5.3 rebounds last season, which is the second-highest average of his career (6.4 rpg in ). Outside of his rookie season, Croshere has never shot below 80.0% from the line and his career percentage of 86.2% heading into this season would rank him 11th among NBA all-time leaders if he qualified. He has made all but 53 of a possible 465 free throws (88.6%) over the past four seasons (including ). BY GEORGE WE VE GOT HIM: Unfortunately, the Mavericks came two wins shy of securing championship rings, but they did sign a player who has three of his own. Devean George joins Dallas after spending seven seasons with the L.A. Lakers. He was just the seventh player in NBA history to win a championship in each of his first three seasons and was also the first player from a Division III university to play in the Finals. After injuries limited him to just 15 games in , George appeared in 71 games for the Lakers last season, averaging 6.3 points and 3.9 rebounds. Had he qualified, George would have ranked sixth in the league in steal-to-turnover ratio (1.22). For his career, he has nearly as many steals (308) as turnovers (346). The season marked the third time George hit a least 50 3-pointers in his career. GOTTA GO WITH MOE To say that the Mavericks were pleased that Maurice Ager fell to them with the 28th pick in the 2006 NBA Draft would be an understatement. Ager played all four seasons for Tom Izzo at Michigan State. As a senior, he averaged 19.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists and was named All-Big Ten Second Team by the media and Third Team by the coaches. This past summer, Ager participated for the Mavericks in both the Toshiba Vegas Summer League and the Rocky Mountain Revue. In seven total games, he averaged 16.9 points. CAN A ROOK BE CALLED POPS? : Joining Maurice Ager in rookie bag carrying duties will be former George Washington star Pops Mensah- Bonsu, who went undrafted back in June. Pops was an Atlantic 10 All Conference First Team selection last season and a second team pick in He ranks second on George Washington s career blocked shots list with 141. Pops shot 58.4% from the floor during his collegiate career. He played for Dallas in the Toshiba Vegas Summer League and the Rocky Mountain Revue. In 10 total games, Pops averaged 8.5 points (50.0% FGs), 5.3 rebounds and 1.30 blocks. He attempted nearly as many free throws (53) as he did field goals (56). CATCH HIM IF YOU CAN: Generously listed at 6-0, Jose Barea won t be posting anyone up, but he can certainly make them work to keep pace with him on the open court. Barea went undrafted back in June after spending four seasons at Northeastern. He was a finalist for the Bob Cousy award, given to the nation s best point guard, as both a junior and a senior. Barea left Northeastern, trailing only Reggie Lewis on the school s alltime scoring list. As a senior, he averaged 21.0 points and 8.4 assists and was named Honorable Mention All-America by The Associated Press. This past summer, he played for Golden State in the Toshiba Vegas Summer League, averaging 6.8 points, 2.8 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 2.00 steals before joining Dallas for the Rocky Mountain Revue in which he averaged 12.0 points, 6.7 assists and 1.7 rebounds.
