Are the Mavericks the first regular season NO 1 to go out in the first round of the playoffs?

No, but this "Black Eight Miracle" is the first time since the league series was changed to a best-of-7 system.

No, but it is the team with the highest regular-season win percentage among the players out of the tournament.

No, you haven't heard of the Black Eight Miracle.

No. Eventually, the Mavericks made it to the playoffs in the 2011-2012 season. But he was eliminated by the Thunder in the first round.

The Mavericks lost 97-103 at home to the Thunder, becoming only the second defending champion in NBA history to be swept 0-4 in the first round.

The Mavericks' Nowitzki scored a game-high 34 points, and Kidd, the "treasure of the town," also contributed 16 points, eight assists and seven rebounds, but the Mavericks couldn't win the game and were overturned by the young Thunder with a 13-point lead in the fourth quarter.

The Mavericks are not without chances, losing their first two games by just four points to the Thunder. Back at home, the Mavericks lost the ability to win, losing Game 3 79-95 and being reversed in the final game with a lead.

No, the Mavericks' schedule is still more favorable.

It's okay to make the playoffs, but it's a bit difficult to get out of the West.

No, the calf is full of power.

The biggest change for the Mavericks this season is the defense, because of Chandler, the Mavericks have improved a lot both overall defense and interior defense, but Butler's absence has left the Mavericks with a stable scoring point, but Nowitzki, Terry, Stevenson, and Barria have made up for this hole very well, and with Kidd's organizational ability, the Mavericks have indeed made a qualitative leap this season.

The team that entered the Finals in the West is basically the Spurs, Lakers, Mavericks, and Thunder, the four teams of the Thunder are too young, plus the interior Perkins injury, the lineup is not running-in, and it is not a threat to the Mavericks The Thunder will be their chance next year.

Spurs Lakers are the biggest threat Spurs lie in their backcourt twin guns Lakers lie in their interior twin towers The Mavericks must defend the twin guns and twin towers if they want to beat them If you look at the current ranking The Mavericks have to play both teams It is indeed very difficult But no one can say this thing Think about the Mavericks beating the Celtics and the Heat You know that nothing is impossible The Mavericks are good at playing key shots This is what I appreciate the most.

Anyway, I like the Mavericks very much, looking forward to the Finals against the Heat, and I don't want Nowitzki Kidd to have regrets.

Do you mean this season? It is estimated that it is unlikely, the Mavericks are now not in order, and the players are older, although they are experienced, they lack athleticism and absolute singles strength, and there is a certain gap between the Warriors and Spurs and other first-class teams, but the chances of entering the playoffs are still quite large.

It's not big, the Mavericks don't really have many players who can really play now, and once the main team is injured or something, the Mavericks will be difficult to play.

It's the best chemistry for the Mavericks right now, and I guess it's the Mavericks and Lakers Western Conference Finals in the end. If that's the case, the Lakers hang.

No way! Definitely won the championship by Kaizi!

It's impossible, there is not a single hair, and it is impossible to compare this lineup with the Spurs, let alone the Lakers.

Last season, although the Mavericks traded veteran Kidd from the Nets during the season, the Mavericks still didn't improve in the playoffs. This also raises huge questions about the Mavericks' trade. On September 19, Beijing time, according to the "Open Air Sports Stands", the deal about Kidd was not a failure, and the Mavericks still have a fairly strong competitiveness in the league.

Over the past three seasons, the Mavericks' performance has been a bit sad. In 2006, they reached the Finals, when the Mavericks led the Heat 2-0, people thought that Dallas would definitely lift the championship trophy, but it turned out that way, Wade led the Heat to stage a shocking comeback, snatching the Mavericks trophy from his arms alive. In the first round of the playoffs in 2007, the Mavericks were unable to resist the Warriors' tidal attack, and although they had a 67-15 record in the regular season, they were still staged by the Warriors in the first round of the playoffs.

In the first round of the playoffs in 2008, the Mavericks, who had Kidd, thought they would make it through, but no one expected them to make the Hornets the next round in just five games. Last season's loss in the first round of the playoffs made it feel like the Kidd trade had fallen through and that the Mavericks needed to rebuild their team. But is that really the case?

The experts at The Bleachers believe Kidd is the best passer in the league and knows in his heart that his teammates need to pass the ball. When Kidd arrived with the Mavericks, there were only 29 games left in the regular season, and such a short period of time simply didn't allow Kidd to get to grip with his new teammates. If Kidd has the opportunity to participate in the Mavericks' preseason training camp, I believe the team will undoubtedly get better.

Last season, Mavericks coach Johnson also made some mistakes with Kidd. He made Kidd a scorer, which was very wrong, because everyone knows that Kidd's specialty is not scoring and shooting at all. For the new season, the Mavericks have changed head coaches, and Rick Carlisle has taken over the reins of Johnson.

When it comes to using Kidd, Carlisle will do a better job than Johnson. While Carlisle's style isn't Nelson's and D'Antoni's style of run-and-gun coaching, he knows exactly how to use Kidd correctly and how to get Kidd to unleash his energy. In addition, the Mavericks' problem man, Josh Howard, will play a key role in the new season.

The new season is about to start, and the West will inevitably continue to be "wild" this year. In the new season, both the Lakers and the Rockets are favored by the outside world, but no one is optimistic about the Mavericks. In fact, in the strong West, the Mavericks are still a strong team, they have a variety of **, a new coach, a new tactical system, a new atmosphere, the Mavericks have not weakened, they are still a dangerous team.

The Houston Rockets are at home at the Toyota Center today to welcome their third preseason opponent, the Dallas Mavericks. The visitors unexpectedly sent a bench to respond, Nowitzki, Kickhouse and others did not play, while the Rockets' Wells, James and others played well, plus Yao Ming contributed a team-high 19 points, and finally the Rockets defeated the Mavericks 104 90 and won two consecutive preseason games. The current overall record of the Rockets is 2-1 and the Mavericks are 2-3.
