The Mavericks have plenty of people who deserve blame.

I am, for now, going to attempt to keep my thoughts on this series and how this roster should be able to play with the Hornets but is not. The Hornets look like they are by far the better team, and they very well may be but the way they have been playing and the way we have been playing. The blame can go to many people, but only two are players that are counted on night in and night out. Those are Jason Kidd and Josh Howard, those two are killing this team more Josh than Kidd. I am sorry but Josh Howard is 28 years old and has been in the playoffs every year of his career, this is not new for him, but now that we depend on him hes shown himself for what he is, weak. Hes just weak minded and you can see it in his face he does not want the ball and every shot he takes looks like its gonna miss and he is no longer one of our good defenders, he has not been since his second year in the league. We never put Josh on their best perimeter scorer anymore. Doesn’t anyone else wonder why Kobe, Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, Lebron James, Baron Davis, and all of the other 6-3 to 6-8 perimeter scorers in this league always have huge nights against us? Not just hit their average I mean things like Kobe score 65 in three quarters, or Baron Davis looks like Oscar Robertson, its because Josh Howard is on them, and hes not a good defender and hes supposed to be. So he kills us on offense and defense. I think he has the ability, but He just looks like hes not focused all the time. No matter what it is 25 percent shooting for the series is pitiful. Hes not even scoring early so Dirk and Terry have to carry the team the whole game. They don’t even guard him anymore.

Now Jason Kidd, I’m not going to lie, I don’t think Jason Kidd is any good anymore and I was against the trade from the beginning. Hell I was against Kidd for Harris straight up, its because come the fourth quarter hes worthless. He is a fast break conductor and can pass, but he can not beat anyone off the dribble anymore and he can only defend bigger slower guys. So its like playing 4 on 5 basketball when hes out there on offense. Of course when we have Damp and Josh out there the way they are playing its 2 on 5, and people are surprised when we get blown out. Even in the game we won I felt Jason Kidd did very little to help the team. And I don’t care about triple doubles, at all. How many triple doubles does Tim Duncan have? How bout Tony Parker? How bout Manu? Kobe? He only had them when they weren’t winning titles. To me a team that has a guy that has to get consistent triple doubles, not on a night where things are just clicking, is not a good team. It depends on one guy to do to much. And another thing I don’t care how many rebounds my POINT GUARD gets. Run the offense and make shots you chump.

My god will someone help Dirk? Hes the best player, by far, in Dallas Mavericks history and we are wasting him.
