<p>The Mavericks laid the hurt on the Cavs in Cleveland last night, running away with a 92-74 win in which LeBron James sucked balls.  Big-time.  LBJ2 (#1 is <a href=this guy) was held scoreless in the first half — the first time in his career he's been shut out for 24 minutes — and had just 10 points on 2-of-11 shooting as the Cavs fell 92-74.  But hey, they've still got Larry Hughes, right?

The Mavs, who actually have more than one good player on their team, went 9-for-18 from Threepointland — there's universal health care there, it's amazing — to make up for the absence of Josh Howard, who's serving a two-game suspension for his preseason tussle with notorious tough man Brad Miller.  Jason Terry led all scorers with 24, with six of his seven field goals coming from behind the arc, while coach Avery Johnson got his first night of sleep without nightmares of Don Nelson's jowls.

Elsewhere in the Association: Agent Zero, regulation hero.  And overtime loser.  Wah-wahhh… Manu Ginobili still a cockthirsty flopgoblin… Melo scored 32 points and put the clamp-down on Kevin Durant, while AI added 25 and 14 assists in an easy Denver victory… Rashard Lewis, getting done what he got paid to do: 26 points, zero assists, and a Magic win… Nets win in OT over Bulls; Vince Carter gay?
