The 2011–12 Dallas Mavericks season was the 32nd season of the franchise in the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Mavericks entered the season as the defending NBA champions, having defeated the Miami Heat in six games in the 2011 NBA Finals. They were attempting to win back-to-back NBA Finals, but were swept in the first round of the NBA Playoffs by the Oklahoma City Thunder (the team that the Mavericks defeated in last year's Western Conference finals in five games) in four games. The Thunder would go on to lose to the Heat in the Finals in five games.

The season officially began once NBA players and owners signed a new collective bargaining agreement to end the 2011 NBA lockout.

Offseason

[edit]

Following their championship-winning 2010–2011 season, the Mavericks entered the offseason with six free agents; only one of those six players returned to play with the team in 2011–2012. Starting center Tyson Chandler was traded to the New York Knicks in a three-team sign-and-trade deal;[3] the Mavericks received guard Andy Rautins in return[4](in addition to a 2012 second-round pick and a traded player exception) and waived him shortly thereafter.[5] Forward Caron Butler signed a three-year deal worth $24 million with the Los Angeles Clippers.[6] On December 14, reserve guard José Juan Barea announced that he would join the Minnesota Timberwolves.[7] On December 19, reserve forward Peja Stojaković announced his retirement.[8] Guard DeShawn Stevenson signed a one-year deal with New Jersey.[9] Backup forward Brian Cardinal re-signed with the Mavs.[10]

The Mavericks acquired several new players during the offseason. On December 9, the Mavs signed power forward Brandan Wright.[11] Vince Carter signed a contract on December 11, while Lamar Odom came to the Mavs through a trade with the Los Angeles Lakers.[12][13] Drew Neitzel and Jerome Randle were signed on December 11;[13] Neitzel and Randle were both waived on December 21 after playing in the D-League for the Texas Legends.[14] The Mavs signed guard Delonte West on December 12 to a one-year deal.[15] The Mavericks traded Rudy Fernández and Corey Brewer to the Denver Nuggets for a future second-round pick (and a traded player exception).[16] The Mavericks signed Sean Williams on December 21 to a two-year deal.[17] Free agent Yi Jianlian was signed on January 6 to a one-year deal.[18]

Season recap

[edit]

Preseason

[edit]

The Mavericks lost their first preseason game to the Oklahoma City Thunder, with both Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd sitting the game out. With Kidd and Nowitzki back in the lineup but without Jason Terry (illness),[19] Vince Carter and Delonte West they also lost the second and last preseason matchup against the Thunder. The Mavericks ended the preseason with a 0–2 record.

Regular season

[edit]

The 2011–12 NBA season began on December 25, 2011, and ended on April 26, 2012. Due to a lockout agreement, the season consisted of 66 games, rather than the standard 82. The Mavericks entered the season as defending champions. At the conclusion of the season, their record consisted of 36 wins and 30 losses. They finished seventh in the Western Conference and third in the Southwest Division.

Playoffs

[edit]

The Mavericks opened their series against Oklahoma City Thunder on the first day of the playoffs. The game was close throughout and the Mavs took the lead by seven with 2 minutes to go. Dirk Nowitzki turned the ball over several times in the crucial stretch and the team stayed scoreless on four straight possessions. With nine seconds to go, the Mavs had a one-point lead, when Kevin Durant hit a shot that bounced a couple of times on the rim and backboard and fell through with 1.5 seconds to go. Shawn Marion's attempt for a half court shot came too late and the Thunder took Game 1.[20] Game 2 was closeout again, even though the Mavs were down by 16 in the first half. They came back and took the lead in the third quarter. The fourth quarter was much of a freethrow contest, James Harden made all of his late in the game and both, Nowitzki and Jason Terry missed his threes. Terry had two tries to send it to overtime, but missed. Thunder were up 2–0.[21] The Thunder took a commanding 3–0 lead after their blowout win in Game 3.[22] Despite having a 13-point lead going into the fourth quarter the Mavs lost by six in Game 4 and were swept.[23]
