I didn't have time to post after game 3, but the Suns won a close one. Game 4 was a different story. The Suns shot under 40%, they missed a ton of threes, and got outrebounded (again) by more than 20. But they still had a chance to win at the end, cutting the lead to one point late in the 4th before Alien Cassell hit a big three that ended the Suns comeback plans.
So...it all comes down to this: a best of 3 series with the Suns having 2 possible home games. Sounds good.
Game 5 is a must win for the Suns. I don't advise going back to LA (Clipper Nation? I think not), down 3-2. The Suns must focus on the boards tonight, not letting the Clippers get second chance points.
The Suns have to knock down their jump shots. Other than Raja Bell, who shot 7-12 from three point territory (with that noted defender Vladimir Radmanovic "guarding" him), the rest of the Suns shot a dismal 3 of 24 from outside the arc. That's not going to win too many games. We shall see what happens tonight, but I expect a Suns win.

ZoDogg, I noticed U have extended an invitation to all Mavs fan to this blog, but it appears that not many people have responded. Its funny how you think that because Suns have survive two 7 game series, all of a sudden you are winning the whole thing. Yeah it will be a great series between two good teams, but remember we are not the Lakers, or the Clippers and unlike them we can play your style or half court. So, as everyone says live by the three DIE by the three. I see this series over in 6 maybe 5.
Suns fans, your team is just like Dallas was a few years ago. Maybe a little more athletic. But you will find out soon you have to play defense in the playoffs. You've had an easy road to get here, now you are going to find out what a real team is. You won't be able to get by on your style of play alone in this series. At some point you will have to make some stops. At this time, all your coach wants to do is run like crazy. Until that changes, you will never win anythinig.
This isn't much of a blog, but that's okay. Anyhow, Dallas will win this game because they are Dynamic. Dallas can hold its own on the run or in the half court. The Spurs couldn't handle Dallas's running, and I expect the Suns to get burned by Dallas slowing the game down. I see this ending in 6 as the Mavs continue to work toward the ultimate prize.
