Watch Dallas Mavericks vs Los Angeles Lakers live online, although they had quite a combustible meeting last month, the Los Angeles Lakers and the Dallas Mavericks claim the clubs' first playoff meeting in 23 years is too important for any thuggish, boorish behavior.
Matt Barnes has already been there, done that, and got the T-shirt.
The Lakers forward's sportswear company is selling shirts generated out of the clubs' ejection-plagued meeting on March 31, but he realizes neither team can waste time shoving anybody around in the postseason.
"We're not worried about anything that happened in the past," said Barnes, who was tossed from that game after a physical confrontation with Jason Terry, who clobbered Steve Blake with a hard foul. "I'm not carrying anything over. I'm not trying to get into trouble or technical fouls or hurt my team in any way. We're going out there to try to win, play hard. That's the only chance any team has to beat us, to play harder."

They are members of the Southwest Division of the Western Conference of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Founded in 1980, the Mavericks have won three division titles (1987, 2007, 2010) and one conference championship (2006).

The Lakers are the reigning NBA champions after defeating the Boston Celtics in the 2010 NBA Finals 4–3.
