I have a gut feeling Ayton will need to put up some gaudy numbers in this one for the Suns to win. The Mavs are certainly going to change their defensive scheme (or at least try), and I expect they'll leave opportunities for everyone besides Paul and Booker to get good looks.

I hope the team takes a page out of Mikal's Game 2 book and attacks close out defenders with a hard dribble and look to score at the rim or dump off to a big guy. Punish the Mavs with points in the paint and they'll eventually leave openings for Paul and Booker to close the game.

Mikal is low-key(maybe not so low-key) having a fantastic playoffs. He’s at 16.0/4.6/3.3/1.0/1.4 on 56/50/92 shooting.

The betting line has slowly moved the Mavs direction the last two days now with the Suns as +1.5 underdogs. The Suns were around a 6 point favorite going into Game 2, and a 7.5 point swing from Game 2 to Game 3 seems a bit weird to me.

This is going to be known as the Boban game.

I'd take that. I don't think the Suns are gonna lose on Chris Pauls birthday. That and I don't think the Mavs are in the same stratosphere as the Suns.

Feels like the Suns are clicking again when we went on one of our win streaks earlier this year.

CP's birthday or not, I hope they don't take the Mavs lightly. This is a do or die game for them. Plus they think home court will give them an advantage. Crush them early and frequently and never let up!
