Dallas Mavericks Tickets

Dont miss your chance to get Mavericks tickets. With their entertaining up-tempo style, the Mavs have been one of the NBAs most successful franchises over the last decade.

Whats behind the demand for Mavericks game tickets? With sharpshooting seven-footer Dirk Nowitzki, the Mavericks reached the NBA Finals in 2006 and had the leagues best record in 2007. Since purchasing the Mavericks in 2000, billionaire internet entrepreneur Mark Cuban has never shied away from controversy, but his burning will to win and relentless promotion of the team have made the Mavericks on of the leagues most successful franchises both on and off the court, making cheap tickets almost impossible to find.

Behind Nowitzki, Michael Finley, and Steve Nash, the Mavericks won 57 games in 2001-02. In 2002-03, they went 60-22 and reached the conference finals, where they lost to the San Antonio Spurs. An offensive powerhouse, the Mavericks were somewhat suspect on defense, which became a concern as the team continued to do well in the regular season but fall in the playoffs. In 2005, Avery Johnson took over as head coach from Don Nelson and brought a new emphasis on defense. The following year, the Mavericks went 60-22 and Johnson was named NBA Coach of the Year. For the first time, the team broke through its playoff jinx, reaching the finals for the first time, making Mavericks tickets hard to get. They jumped out to a 2-0 lead over the Miami Heat of Dwane Wade and Shaquille O'Neal, but lost four straight to lose the series.

The Mavericks are lead by seven-time all-star and 2007 NBA Player of the Year Nowitzki, who has revolutionized the power forward position with his combination of size, speed, and deadly shooting accuracy. Other standout players include nine-time all-star Jason Kidd, acquired in 2008 in a blockbuster deal for multiple players and two first-round draft picks, who has lead the league in assists 5 times, and versatile sixth man Jerry Stackhouse, who can play both the shooting guard and small forward positions.

The Mavericks began playing as an expansion franchise in 1980. The team quickly reached respectability, posting their first winning season in 1983-84 and defeating Seattle in the first round of the playoffs. Behind a young nucleus of players including Mark Aguirre, Rolando Blackman, Jay Vincent, Derek Harper, and Sam Perkins, the Mavs posted a record of 55-27 in 1986-87, and in 1987-88 they went 53-29 and reached the conference finals, where they felled the eventual champion Los Angeles Lakers. The Mavericks seemed on the verge of joining the NBAs elite; but the next year, center James Donaldson went down with a season-ending injury and the team faltered, beginning a long slide which did not end the arrival of Nowitzki and Cubans acquisition of the franchise.
