Even though the Blazers surprised experts around their league with a road win to open the playoffs, the franchise from Oregon subsequently dropped two games in a row. Thus, the Portland Trail Blazers are looking to get back on track when they face Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns in game five of the Western Conference Quarterfinals on Tuesday at 2:30 a.m. GMT.

Before the playoffs got underway the Blazers were confident to finally make the post-season run they failed to pull off in 2008-09. Yet, after three games in their first-round match-up with the Phoenix Suns things are looking completely differently. Most importantly, Portland lost franchise cornerstone Brandon Roy who already underwent surgery and will not be available for the remainder of the post-season. Obviously, wing player Rudy Fernandez cannot even remotely compensate for said loss, thus it is no surprise that the Blazers trail the Suns 2-1 after three games.

In contrast, Phoenix's front-office is extremely content with the way this year's NBA campaign has panned out so far. After all, the Suns managed to clinch the third playoff seed in the competitive Western Conference while playing electrifying up-tempo basketball with Steve Nash running the show. Likewise, shooting guard Jason Richardson had a stellar night in game two and recorded a career-high of 42 points and 8 rebounds in a 108-89 win over the Blazers. Thus, there appears to be no doubt that the Suns will enter their fourth encounter with Portland as everyone's favorites to come away with another win. Ultimately, the shorthanded Blazers do not seem to have enough individual talent on board to compete with Phoenix, especially their lack of scoring could become a crucial factor once again.

Without any doubts, barely anyone expected the Suns to head into the 2009-10 playoffs with home-court advantage and the third overall seed in the Western Conference. Thus, Steve Nash and the Phoenix Suns will open their first-round encounter with the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday at 2:30 a.m. GMT.

Where as the Suns' post-season appearance is still somewhat surprising, the Blazers are not overly excited with their sixth place finish down the stretch. That said, one should take into consideration that the franchise from Oregon experienced several injury related setbacks such as losing both centers Greg Oden and Joel Pryzbilla. Nonetheless, the Blazers posted an excellent 50-32 record that earned them a playoff appearance in the competitive Western Conference. Moreover, Portland's front-court is looking much better after adding Marcus Camby to the mix prior to the trade deadline.

In contrast, Phoenix's front-office is very excited about making a big step into the right direction in 2009-10 despite shipping out Shaquille O'Neal during the off-season last summer. More precisely, Amare Stoudemire and company managed to clinch the third spot in the West and showcased exciting up-tempo basketball all year long. Albeit Phoenix is one of the worst defensive teams in the league, their high-octane offense helped them to win no less than 54 games during the regular season. Especially All-Star guard Steve Nash is having a phenomenal year, averaging 16.5 points and 11.0 assists per game. Taking everything into account, both teams should match-up fairly evenly, yet Phoenix might have a slight advantage due to playing in front of their home crowd. Thus, the audience can expect a hard-nosed battle between the defensive minded Blazers and the Suns on Sunday night.
