The Mavs are only one of two teams to have won 50 games each season for the past eight consecutive seasons, the other being the San Antonio Spurs. The Mavs enter the 2008 playoffs as the seventh seed, playing against the New Orleans Hornets in the First Round. Jason Kidd scores his 100th career triple-double in the final regular-season game against the New Orleans Hornets on 16 April 2008. The Mavs lose the first game of the 2008 NBA Playoffs to the Hornets on 19 April 2008 with a final score of 104-92. The Hornets lead the series 1-0. Features by Shruti14 Dallas Mavericks Article of the Week: Jason Terry was selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the tenth overall pick in the 1999 Draft. His excellent performance earned him a spot on the NBA All-Rookie Team, becoming only the second Hawk to do so. Within a year, he became one of the team's best players and top scorers. The Mavs showed interest in making him a part of their team, and he was traded to the Mavs in 2004, just prior to the start of the season. A solid shooter and three-point shooter, Terry has become an integral part of the Mavs lineup. Historically, he has had mixed performance in the playoffs. Collaboration of the Month by Shruti14 The collaboration voting and nominating continues. More nominations and votes are needed before a Collaboration of the Month can be selected - as of now, we have absolutely none. Please put votes or suggestions here.
