THE STORY: That road trip didn't exactly go as we'd planned... so now we have the next three games at home to try and get back on the right foot.

Mavs hope to move past playoff failures - NBA - Yahoo! Sports
For the Dallas Mavericks, the trouble began nearly five years ago. Up 2-0 against the Miami Heat in the 2006 NBA Finals, they lost the next four games and the championship. The following year, they entered the playoffs with a league-high 67 victories, but lost in the first round to the Golden State Warriors and their former coach, Don Nelson. The past three postseasons haven’t brought much more success: two more first-round exits and a second-round series that netted just one victory.
