Los Angeles Lakers vs Dallas Mavericks on ESPN

Los Angeles Lakers vs Dallas Mavericks - The Lakers is now in big trouble. Mavericks could end Phil Jackson's career, who turned Michael Jordan into a champion, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal into champions, and O'Neal-less Bryant into a winner.

Dallas is a team with a postseason reputation. Dirk Nowitzki and the Mavericks trailed the two-time NBA defending champions 3-0. The two teams meet tonight in Game 4 of their second-round series. Mavericks have been the better tean in every 4th quarter, terminating deficits in Game 1 and Game 3.

Pau Gasol has gone bad in the entire postseason. Bryant missed 4 of 6 down the stretch on Fright night. The time is running out on Jackson's career and on the Lakers. Losing third consecutive games might be too difficult for the Lakers to recover.

Nowitzki has outplayed Gasol on both end of the court. Small forward Ron Artest is back in the Los Angeles' lineup for Game 4. Mavericks threw a 2-0 lead in the 2006 NBA Finals, and this year throwing a 3-0 lead over the Lakers.
