GAME THREAD: Dallas Mavericks vs. Los Angeles Lakers

WHO: Dallas Mavericks vs. Los Angeles Lakers

WHAT: SWAGGY P (and Kobe) come to town.

WHERE: American Airlines Center, Dallas, Texas

WHEN: 7:30 p.m. CT

HOW: FSSW

THE STORY: In the soundbite heard 'round the world, our fearless leader Mark Cuban said the other day "I just hope [the Lakers] suck forever." Well, they must have heard him, because they've done nothing but win since that and since the return of their fearless leader, Nick "Swaggy P" Young. My personal favorite "basketball player I love for no rational reason," Xavier Henry, will also be available in this game! Also, Kobe is here. Yawn.

Also, the Mavericks are playing! Devin Harris is still out, but the Lakers are bad, so hopefully the league's best offense can cruise to another blowout.

GO MAVS. Also, I implore you to watch today's music video. (h/t Jason Gallagher).
