I expect this game to be a dogfight. This is either going to turn into a series in Game 3 or the Suns are going to put an exclamation on this series.

I want this game sooooo bad.

The Suns used to do this to protect Nash’s poor defense. It worked for the most part. Let’s see if it works for Luka’s piss poor defense.

The Suns centers and other players need to stay down on fakes with arms upright.

If the Mavericks score over the top so be it. Make them earn their points.

Nash would at least give his best effort. Luka just sidesteps and watches.

It was also somewhat excusable because Nash was the smallest Sun on the court, often the smallest player overall. Luka is like 6'8" 250 lbs. He's physically bigger than every Suns starter except Ayton.

The point is the Suns new how bad he was defensively and would put him in zone to lesson he effects. Jason is going to try the same approach it sounds like.
