If we can win Game 4 and thus, force a game 6, will Brandon be able to carry us to Game 7? It would seem to me to be impossible for the Suns to guard both Miller and Roy and life would get easier for Aldridge. Yes? If Roy comes back, we can win the series, right???
Well we sure as hell wouldn't score 35 in the first half against them. If Roy plays, they pay for having Richardson in because he can't even hope to guard Brandon. Grant Hill on Miller means Nash moves to Roy and again, Nash can't even hope to guard Brandon.
Roy will without a doubt make a difference. Phoenix would have to adjust their defense for Roy which would open things up for LaMarcus and Andre.
Roy would help on offense, but these last 2 games would still be losses since Roy isn't a defense stopper.
Brandon might have gotten us 10 or 15 extra points per game, but these have been team losses due to lack of any kind of a post up game, no hustle and no defense.
I'd have to agree.....we would be seeing Jason Richardson going off for 42 points, heck even if Rudy could put up some shots things might look a lot different this morning. Portland really has the deer in the headlights look to them in the last two games and the Suns are a great team playing out in front, keep the game close and those bombs from downtown don't fall as easy.
Exactly right. Roy is going to be a gimp. Remember when he first came back from his hamstring and how ineffective he was? That's what we'd see if we could force a game seven.
Clutch 4th quarter heroics and space for Aldridge to score 31. It's a success! We can win this series if we steal Game 5.
Look hindsight is 20/20, and Mixum's foresight is explained below. [video=youtube;sVACRmgt5B0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVACRmgt5B0[/video]
