Short Volume -- Why was there a need for market makers to borrow shares??

If the price is falling and there are plenty of sellers then there is no need to borrow shares. Sellers overwhelm buyers.

Please explain in terms of buyers and sellers how a market maker would need to borrow shares short to give to a buyer?????

If the price is getting pummelled from $4 to "nothing" there theoritically should be oodles and oodles of sellers knocking the price down. Why would a market maker need to PERSONALLY borrow shares himself to give to a buyer???
