Despite starting the season 0-4, Dallas is now 11-4 and leads San Antonio in the Southwest division by a half a game…last season, the Mavericks finished with a franchise-high tying 60 wins…what was the Mavericks record after 15 games??? How about 10-5.
Erick Dampier is shooting 69.0% from the floor this season and ranks first in the NBA…he is shooting 76.5% (26-34 FGs) in the first quarter…according to the Elias Sport Bureau, Dampier is only the fourth qualifying player to have a FG% of 69.0% or higher in the month of November: Artis Gilmore (69.5% in 1980), Dave Twardzik (69.3% in 1977) and Mark West (69.1% in 1990).
Dallas has won its last six home games after losing the first two of the season…the Mavericks only lost consecutive home games once in 2005-06 (11/26 vs. Memphis and 12/1 vs. San Antonio)…following those consecutive home losses last season, Dallas won 29 of its final 34 home games, including a franchise-high 16 straight from 1/3-3/3/06.
Greg Buckner has not committed a single turnover in any of the past five games (79 minutes played) and has gone without a turnover 10 times this season.
The Mavericks four veteran acquisitions from this past summer (Greg Buckner, Austin Croshere, Anthony Johnson and Devean George) are shooting a combined 36.3% (82-226 FGs) from the floor.
