2024 Playoffs- 4th Round: Boston Celtics - Dallas Mavericks

[Berknip]

Anyone want some Mavs history as we wait for 7:30pm?

Our beloved Mavs have had three eras of playoff basketball, the Ro/Harp era, the Dirk era and the Luka era.

Ro, Harp and co. made the playoffs 7 times in 10 years and made one, glorious WCF appearance.

Dirk and co. make the playoffs 15 times over 20 years, with 2 finals appearances and 1, historically great NBA championship.

Luka and co. have had 4 playoff runs in 6 years, with 2 WCF appearances and a wonderfully surprising and impressive NBA Finals appearance, outcome TBD.

So, that's...

44 years,
26 playoff appearances,
3 NBA Finals appearances,
an historically great championship,
and a wonderfully surprising and impressive chance for another!

LET'S GO MAVS!!

...pretty impressive when you consider there are still 10 teams who have NEVER won a championship, 5 of whom have never even made it to the Finals.
