Sports Interaction’s Al Dannity breaks down some of the weekend’s big NBA playoff games: The Suns will raise the temperature in Portland this weekend. With two trips to the Blazers on the cards, Phoenix looks well positioned to win both its road games as the injuries pile up in Portland. Already down Greg Oden and Brandon Roy entering the post-season, the Blazers lost Nicolas Batum in game two and he may not return before the series ends. This is the worst possible news for a Portland team which felt the full fury of Steve Nash as he dropped 16 dimes on the Blazers in game two. Portland showed bravery to win the first game, they will not win another. Boston’s trip to Miami could, in theory, end the series but more likely than not the Heat will turn it up a notch. After finding a way to beat Miami without Kevin Garnett.
