Don't get me wrong... jump shots are important as they make up 2/3 of all shot attempts overall. The problem is that the only plan B most guys on this team have to jump shots is force feeding Dirk and hoping for the best - and even then that usually means a jump shot).

We are a one dimensional team that is fairly easy to figure out in a playoff series. This is why we consistently have good regular seasons and sub-par playoffs. We have nothing to change things up in games 2,3,4,5 etc and teams know coming into game 1 what to prepare for.

The championship teams of the past have usually not had one superstar carry the load - Kobe has Gasol and Bynum/Odom taking a lot of pressure off of him.

Pierce/Allen and Garnett... one of them having a not so great game still doesnt mean you lose.

San antonio - you never know if its ginobili or parker having a big night or possibly duncan.

even miami had shaq and wade

On the mavs team - if dirks shot doesn't fall we are pretty much screwed.

Even if Dirk is an absolute beast, we're still screwed.
