Phoenix Suns is one of my favorites, game 7 is crucial for them, I've got three keys for the Suns, hope they can make it.

Key 1: Rebound

If they don't hit the board, they will be in huge trouble. Game 6 was a disaster, 48 to 28 in the Clippers favor. In fact, each game that the Clippers won, they completely dominated the boards. Phoenix have got to get on the boards, Shawn Marion have got to have one of his huge rebounding matches, grabbing maybe 15, 16 boards, everybody else have to chip in too. They should use a group effort with plenty of energy and activity, if Phoenix can make this, they won't be in big trouble.

Key 2: Make threes

When Phoenix make shots from behind the three point line, that's how they get out running and force the issue, force the temple and put tremendously pressure on to beat their opponent. We know the Clippers are strong inside, they have Elton Brand, Sam Cassell and Chris Kaman, they own the paint area. So for Phoenix to combat that, they've got to make perimeter shot.

Key 3: Make use of home advantage

Phoenix have that home court advantage in game 7, they have the mental edge over the Clippers. The crowd will be going crazy, it's imperative for the Suns to keep that crowd and force their rival to make turnovers. On the other hand, if they can take care of ball, that also allow them to make the more three point attempts, more lay-ups and dunks.

If Phoenix can make all the threes, the victory will be in their hands.
