Since the Pick and roll has been killing us and the suns will go small again in game 4 we need to start playing some zone D.Everytime they drive and kick for an open 3 then score.Let them beat us from 3 but not shred our defense like that.You live and you die by the 3.If you close us the middle and make them just shoot 3s and jumpers you will win the game.

NBAplaybook.com presented the same idea after game 2 and no1 picked up on it.

While a zone might help with the initial point of attack, if they get any kind of shot up, the offensive boards are WIDE OPEN when you run a zone at them. If you have no man to cover, you have no man to put a body on. They've already proved they can make it rain in that department.
