You can't keep doing the same thing hoping for a different result.
So......Starting Five for Game 3

Brunson
Doncic
DFS
Bullock
Green

Luka guards Ayton (Can he do any worse than Powell?)
Brunson guards Crowder
DFS guards Booker
Bullock guards Bridges
Green guards CP3
Everyone looks to double team Ayton when the ball goes to him in the lane/post.

Green's shortcomings on offense are no worse than Powell's, but he brings tenacity on defense that could cause problems for CP3. When Green gets tired, you let Bullock, DFS, or Frank take a turn. Pick up CP3 full-court and use a rotation of your defensive minded players to wear him down. Alternate with zone defense where you give Paul the 3-pt shot (31% for the season) but protect the paint from his midrange game. Kleber comes in for Green, with Chriss and Powell getting limited minutes. Brunson on Crowder is to keep him out of foul trouble. Crowder is mostly a jump shooter on offense, so maybe Brunson can keep up with him without fouling. I don't know, but it seems to me you need a paradigm shift to hopefully make the Suns feel a need to adjust their game plan.
