Source: http://0rz.tw/i8Cbm ********************************************************************* Dallas Mavericks' stars weren't shining in Game 2 12:14 AM CDT on Tuesday, April 21, 2009 ********************************************************************* Jason Terry declared before Game 2 that the Mavericks could win this series if San Antonio insisted on turning him and Dirk Nowitzki into decoys. He may want to rethink that stance. Nowitzki and Terry combined to average 45 points a game during the regular season. They combined for 30 points in Monday's loss. That's too much slack for the rest of the roster to pick up on a nightly basis. While we're on this topic, let's not forget Josh Howard. The forward didn't get enough credit for what his 25 points meant to open this series. J.J. Barea created a buzz with his performance in Game 1, but Howard was more crucial to the victory. When the Spurs lock their defense on Nowitzki and Terry, he is the player who must step up. Howard didn't step up this night, scoring just seven points. The Mavericks Big Three? There was nothing big about them this night. Nowitzki, Terry and Howard combined for 37 points and shot 32.4 percent from the field. That's one less point than San Antonio's Tony Parker scored. The Mavericks got away with a win in Game 1 because they had good ball movement and their role players stepped up. But the role players can't be asked to step up night in and night out. That's why they are role players. Terry is wrong. He and Nowitzki are too important to the success of this team to be content as decoys. They must force the issue on occasion. Impose their offensive will on the game. If not, San Antonio's defense will dig in the rest of the way and make post-season life unbearable. ********************************************************************* -- Only the strong survive- Iverson ⊕ ═█┘ ⊕ ●╱ 　　　Ｗ ● ●︵ ● ●)) ３╯ <３\ /３⊕ ／３﹚ ３ \\ />⊕ >/ ⊕ ╲> >> ========= http://www.wretch.cc/blog/AWEI3 ========= -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 58.114.82.28
