PLAYOFFS ROUND 2: #1 PHX (3-4) vs. #4 DAL (4-3) | DAL advances to WCF!

[cow]

That's the other narrative around Game 3. CP3 and Book turned it over and the Suns missed bunnies. Voulgaris has the analytics on this but they might have expected to score and additional 10 points off those bunnies. But I'm totally ok with this (and hope the Suns think the Mavs win was just a scrappy anomaly) because they also made some lucky 3s including Crowder. Analytically, it evens out. 

Count the Mavs out out if you want but they were the better team last night.

That said, I do expect the Suns to be better in Game 4. Mavs have to be better too.

I don't think Crowder is a fluke.  We are treating him somewhere in between how other teams cover Powell and Green.  That does seem largely by design.  Make him beat you instead of someone else.   On the flip side, we survived a rocky 2nd half performance by Luka.  We've seen all cylinders clicking by the Suns but not the Mavs.  Here is hoping for that to happen in games 4-7.
