In the past few days tons of heart-breaking criticism was thrown to the Dallas Mavericks forward.

He is being criticized for lack of defensive efforts and throwing low percentage shots.

I am a huge fan of KVH and I also notice that he did not play well in the the Western Conference Finals first 2 games.

Keith just got back from a hand surgery, and maybe it's the reason why he lacks confidence and affecting his shots.

There are times when player could not get into his rhythm no matter how long he stays on the court.

Remember, when Jason Kidd scores "ZERO" in a game 7 against the Pistons?

I believe in Game 3 and onwards KVH will bounce back from the ugly performances of the last two games.

Coach Avery Johnson trusts in Keith Van Horn's talent. Why? Well, Avery would not give him a minute of playing time in the first place. Plus this guy has more playoff experience than other guys on the Mavs roster.

I hope Keith Van Horn will not be intimated; he must be inspired, overcome criticism and show to the world that he can still play awesome basketball.

Watch out for a KVH surprise on Game 3 at Phoenix!
