The rational part of me that Dirk needs to hit that 3 (or Terry needs to hit something).
I think it's all of the above.

VC continually played the Westbrook screen with no energy, lost his man on defense at crucial moments, and took (and missed) too many poor, contested shots in isolation (strangely, these seemed by design).
At this point, I'm not watching these playoffs with any expectation of doing damage. I'm watching them as a swan song, knowing that this might be the last time we get to see Kidd orchestrate an offense at this level, and knowing it's one of the precious few remaining times we'll get to see Nowitzki perform at such an elite level before his game drops off or he retires in a few years.
