Guy's like Brunson, Dinwiddie, Bertans, Powell and Luka represents mismatches all over the floor for the Suns. Usually there's 2-3 of those guys on the court at the same time. That's a lot to ask by the coaching staff for them to hold up.

Also Phoenix has won 12 straight games vs the Mavs so I'm not sure it's just a road thing. They kick our asses anywhere and at anytime.....

Maybe the Mavs get 1 game at home but I've lost confidence in this teams ability to defend
I feel you. My point was that we'll see (hopefully see) the Mavs very best effort at home for Games 3 and 4. Lets see it THEN draw our final conclusions. But you're right, everything about the trajectory of this series and the historical data and trends suggests that the Mavs are simply overmatched.
