Sergio vs Nash?

Sergio Rodriguez vs Steve Nash Sergio vs Nash?
The Trail Blazers face the red-hot Phoenix Suns tomorrow. Unfortunately, Sergio Rodriguez is still out with the ankle sprain and will not play. So I posted this picture so you can all at least imagine what could have been if Sergio was healthy.

Phoenix Preview
Tomorrow's game is really a must-win to continue on our 3 wins out of 5 games goal. But after the Blazer's performance last game against the Bulls, I have my doubts whether we can pull this one off. However, these Blazers never cease to suprise me and so I still have a glimmer of hope.

I believe we may see some Dan Dickau in this game. Brandon Roy's stints at point-guard didn't look to good last game (netting -9 points in 7 minutes). But it's not really his fault, it's just that
Brandon Roy is not a point guard.

Nate McMillan will, of course, once again go with the 'slow the tempo' strategy. But Nate did have an interesting quote on the Oregon Live Blog: "By us being at home, you don't want to totally walk the ball up the floor and put our people to sleep," This is pretty funny because in the middle of the sold-out Chicago game, a lady sitting behind me had actually fallen asleep.

Anyway, Phoenix has proven that they are human by finally losing 2 of the last 3 games. So, well, ummm, we do have a chance.
