Looking at Game 5

There is absolutely nothing about these teams that is new. After Brandon Roy's return, nothing can be surprising in this series. We aren't going to see any adjustments from either team, as everyone knows what works and what doesn't. The Suns know to come hard and fast in the first quarter and discourage us as much as possible. Blazers know to hit the Suns again and again, discouraging that free-wheeling play. Unless of course the starting lineup tonight consists of Robin Lopez, Thunder Dan, and Greg Oden. But I doubt it.

Game 5 and after is where you just get to turn your brain off and enjoy. These two teams are fighting for their lives and know each other in and out. We all know what works and what doesn't, it's just a matter of execution.

The best part about tonight's game, though? It's on TNT, where the Blazers are 2-0 this series. TNT: Give Us Drama.
