That's my gut feeling. I like Ray to break out of his cold three point shooting and feast on the Suns lack-of-defense scheme. Also look for a big game from Rondo.

Game to pay attention to: Suns vs. Magic

Phoenix (4-0) at Orlando (3-1) You really have to watch it with the Suns. I honestly try to limit the amount of appearances they make on GtPAt, mainly because they're an easy choice.
