GAME THREAD: Dallas Mavericks vs. Los Angeles Lakers

WHO: Los Angeles Lakers

WHAT: Remember when the Mavs won three straight road games? ME NEITHER

WHERE: American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas

WHEN: 7:30 p.m. CT

HOW: FSSW

THE STORY: The Mavericks blew another lead against the Clippers and followed it up with a no-show first half against New York -- good for two demoralizing losses.

But hey, SWAGGY P brings the Lakers to Dallas and the Mavs have a chance to find some momentum, maybe getting on a roll. I guess we'll see.
