Upside vs. Results (at least better results)
0-3 vs. 3-1 (vs. each other and San Antonio)
It's a tough choice for me, but until Phoenix wins a game vs. the Mavs or Spurs, you can't honestly expect them to beat either in the playoffs, which means either a semifinals or conference finals loss, depending on how seeding is. Since you can't expect it, I find some of these expectations a bit much.
Suns are very, very good, but they still have rebounding issues, something made worse with the recent loss of Thomas for a month or longer. Mavs, because of their rebounding, are simply the better team RIGHT NOW.
