By the end of the season, the Mavs had made the playoffs for the fourth-straight year (10th overall) and were named 2nd among all sport franchises in ESPN The Magazine’s Fan Satisfaction Rankings. Dallas was a franchise best 36-5 at home and became the sixth Mavs team to win at least 50 games. They joined the Los Angeles Lakers, Sacramento Kings and San Antonio Spurs as the only four teams to have won at least 50 games in each of the past four seasons.

Head Coach Don Nelson was at the helm as he led the team to another history making year. With the 2003-04 season under his belt, he has recorded a total of 13 50-win seasons and is tied with Phil Jackson for the second most 50-win seasons in NBA history. On Nov. 11, 2003, Nellie coached his 250th game with the Mavs and on Dec. 15, 2003, he won is 1111th game as a head coach, surpassing Pat Riley for second-place on the all-time coaching list.

The Mavs “Big Three” (Steve Nash, Dirk Nowitzki and Michael Finley) were once again big contributors to the team. Steve Nash ranked fourth in team scoring (14.5 ppg) and averaged a career high 8.8 assists. League-wide, he ranked second in free throw percentage (a career high 91.6%), third in assists and 11th in three-point percentage. He also recorded his first triple-double (first in AAC history) in his career against Portland on Nov. 12, 2003, with 14 points, 12 assists and a career-high 10 rebounds.

Dirk Nowitzki continued to dominate as he led the team in scoring (21.8 ppg), rebounding (8.7 rpg), steals (1.19 spg) and blocks (1.35). Dirk was named to the All-NBA Third Team, marking the fourth time he has received All-NBA honors. In February, Dirk was named as a reserve to the NBA All-Star game for his third consecutive appearance. Not bad for a player who has only been in the league six years.

Michael Finley was solid as always, leading the team in minutes played (38.6 mpg) and finishing second on the team in scoring (18.6 ppg) and steals (1.17 spg). He also drilled 150 3-pointers, shattering his previous high of 119 set the year prior. In mid-January, he was named Western Conference Player of the Week.

The Mavs’ two newcomers, Jamison and Walker, also proved to be invaluable during the course of the season. Jamison was named the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year, joining Roy Tarpley as the only other Maverick to have won the award. Jamison appeared in all 82 games, extending the NBA’s longest consecutive games played streak to 328. He also shot a team and career high 53.3% from the floor, which ranked tied for the third best percentage in the NBA.

Antoine Walker also validated his worth by becoming the first Maverick since Jason Kidd to post back-to-back triple doubles (Jan. 12, 2004, at New York and Jan. 14, 2004, vs. Philly). Walker finished second on the team in rebounding (8.3) and assists (4.5) and fifth in scoring. He was also the only Maverick to start in all 82 games.

The two rookies, Josh Howard and Marquis Daniels, became fan favorites as they made important contributions to the team. Both were selected to the NBA’s All-Rookie 2nd team (the first time a rookie was selected since Kidd in 94-95). Howard was also part of NBA All-Star weekend participating in the Rookie Challenge. Among NBA rookies, he ranked seventh in scoring (8.6 ppg) and fifth in rebounding (5.5 rpg). Daniels, who averaged 20.7 points over the final 11 games of the season, finished eighth among rookies in scoring (8.5 ppg) and led all rookies with a field goal percentage of 49.4%.

Although the season ended earlier than expected with a first round loss to the Sacramento Kings, the Mavs proved to be a force to be reckoned with and will continue to improve with time. Mavs fans have plenty to look forward to as the 2004-05 season promises to be an exciting one, hopefully taking the Mavs farther than ever before.
