The Dallas Mavericks and the Dallas Stars have not won a playoff series in the same season since 2003. This year, the Mavericks finished fifth in the Western Conference and will take on the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round. On the other hand, the Stars won the Western Conference and will play either the Los Angeles Kings or the Vegas Golden Knights in Round 1.
Chris Arnold, a game night emcee at American Airlines Center and a host on 105.3 The Fan, and Gavin Spittle, a brand manager at 105.3 The Fan and host of Spits and Suds podcast, joined Texas Wants to Know to discuss why this could be the first time in 21 years both teams make it out of the first round.
Arnold and Spittle are optimistic about both teams’ potential success this year, citing strong performances throughout the regular season. They believe that both teams have what it takes to advance past Round 1 and make a deep playoff run.
If they can achieve this feat, it would be a significant milestone for Dallas sports fans who have not seen both teams win a playoff series in the same season for nearly two decades. The excitement and anticipation are high as both teams gear up for their respective playoff matchups.
The Mavericks’ success this season is largely due to Luka Doncic’s impressive performance. He led them with an average of 27 points per game during the regular season.
Meanwhile, for Stars fans, their team’s success is rooted in their solid defense system led by John Klingberg and Ben Bishop.
In conclusion, if both teams continue to perform well throughout postseason play, this year could mark a milestone moment for Dallas sports fans who have longed to see their beloved franchises reach new heights together on court.
