Our boys in blue have been surrounded by a bunch of thugs, now we have only two ways to choose from, win 3 consecutive games or go back home for an earlier vacation.
We Mav fans still refuse to drop any doubt on the hearts of these boys in blue, even in the dim times. Our guys in blue have won a game in this series, but I would rather to forget about that win, just considering it a new start. Now we just need to win another 3 games in a row, 3 straight wins are actually not an unachievable goal for our boys in blue. We just need to pay back to the Nuggets what they did in the first 3 games of this series.
Surely the referees will make it a very tough job for us to get a win in Denver, but these boys in blue don't do what is easy, they just do what can upload them to the WCF, or even the NBA finals, or even the stage on which they will get the O'Brien trophy they deserve.
Unlike the fans of other teams like the Rockets and Spurs, the Mavs fans don't use the referees or bad luck as shields to defend their teams. Although it's a crystle clear truth that the referees had an elephant big impact on our three loses in this series, we still have to admit there are still some undenial defects on our team.
I don't want to blame our coaches and managers, but I really can't find any other reason to explain why we are trapped in this situation. Even so, it's still not too late for them to make some adjustments that can get our boys in blue out of the swamp.
In this series against the Nuggets, our team has been being trapped in half-court offense. Chauncy Billups has been a mastro in half-court offense since the prime years of the Pistons, the dense half-court offense always gives him more excitement than a sexual orgasm does.
In the old years, the Nuggets are just a jump shooting team, which ran very fast but didn't have guns, the acquirement of Allen Iverson didn't make any change to this team, until they got Billups at the beginning of this regular season. This team has been totally changed since Billups joined it...
The old Nuggets team impressed us a lot with their passionate offense and aggresive attacks launched by their nuetral players, Iverson and Melo precisely, but the lack of paint play always blocked that team to go further in the post season. In fact, this team had got piled plenty of decent players in the paint, but most times their job was just to grab rebounds everytime Melo and AI made a fade-away shot and missed it. Billups hasn't added any talent to this team, he just made the most use of their former talents that had been being abandoned.
Back to our own side... Jason Kidd has never shown any leadership since he got traded to Dallas, which earned him tons of blame. Although Kidd still keeps his assist number pretty high compared to the league's average, it's not very difficult to notice his tendency to becoming average. Naturally his athleticism and speed has been normalized by the growth of his age, but the awareness shouldn't be shortened but prolonged by the gain of experience. Kidd just hasn't ever made any fancinating assists since he joined Mavs, which were just little dishes for the Kidd of Nets.
Our team also used to be a run-and-gun team, and Kidd also used to play for our team, but our team has changed even more than the economy did. Especially since Carlisle took office, our team has been downgraded from a BMW racing car to a 4-wheel wagon dragged by a skinny old mule. Kidd is shackled in such a system, now we just need to pick up our hustling plays. Also our play will speed up the rhythm of the Nuggets, which will probably remind them of their old styles. If these two teams both go back to their old styles, the Nuggets will definitely get killed.
In our boys in blue we trust.
Believe.
