Strangely there is a Suns fan on there with the Screen Name:

IDidJenna

Hmm...I wonder what Jenna he is referring to?

Steve Nash posts there?

Dallas had their chance to finish off PHX tonight. I really believe PHX wins this. Why? Just ask LA why. This team finds ways to win when their backs are against the wall.

Not sure why your coach has a love affair with Keith Van Horn? He's been the Suns best bench player this series.

Josh Howard and Devin Harris should be getting touches every time down he floor. If not, then your coach isn't doing his job.

That Dallas swagger was knocked the hell out tonight.

Sly fly you have said alot here. One of the problems that I perceive with the Mavs offense is that the ball movement is designed mainly to seek out the best matchup, that making the extra pass for the open shot is often not the primary goal, they believe in one-on-one matchups, hence one of the lowest percentage of assisted baskets among the NBA playoff teams. In my opinion, what this does is limits the touches of players, allowing them to sometimes go cold, and even lose their passing touch during periods of the game. It also allows suns defenders to rest some, or play better team D, when their man doesnt get a touch. I'm not sure that avery johnson is all that great an offensive coach. The offense seems so matchup focussed that the synergy of team play seems to stagnate at times. That being said, the Mavs are very talented, they beat the spurs, and are 2-2 in the WCF.

Avery Johnson teaches offense? Honestly, EVERYTHING he talks about is defense. I have not heard him commenting on "offense".

This has been a good series. Back and forth and entertaining.

Like I have said before, I will be rooting for the winner in the Finals one way or the other.

I agree completely Chris. The series has been very entertaining and which ever team moves on... should represent the west well. Props to the Suns for last night's victory, they deserved the win. The Suns have proven throughout the playoffs that they will just keep coming at you. The next three games should be fun, albeit nerve racking for both Mavs and Suns fans.

Bring on Thursday!
