After complaining about cowbell-ringing during timeouts in Sacramento, Dallas is planning on payback, within limits, writes Jodie Valade of the Dallas Morning News.

The Mavs will confiscate at the door: drums, musical instruments, air horns, bullhorns, electronically amplified noisemakers, lasers/lights, sirens, boat horns, cap guns and pennies in a jar.

However, among things allowed and encouraged are: kazoos, noisemakers such as "Clappers" and "Plastic Thundersticks," non-electric megaphones, party horns, and cowbells.

Mavericks owner Mark Cuban is encouraging as much legal noise as fans can bring.  He is buying all the cowbells he can find.
