I mean... No one expected them to beat the Suns either tho ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . Playoff Basketball is tricky-wicky (hence Fun). I am rooting for the Warriors but you gotta respect your opponent.

Some times it's all about match up... Dallas were able to exploit Ayton and CP3 on defense. Also those guys are bit easier to game plan on the defensive end.

Dallas just don't match up well vs the Warriors because they have length at every position they can throw at Luka. Even Curry/Poole is not as small as CP3. Wiggins/Dray/Klay are also a better defensive group.

Poole did not play particularly well last series and he seems to be waking up tonight. That could portend a problem for Dallas.

Kerr had 4 years of planning defenses against prime Lebron.
I think he'll be fine against Luka.

He didn't exactly stopped Lebron on those 4 years... Just out talented him. The 1 year it was pretty even. Cavs won it.
