Suns win today, and when u look at Dallas / Houston ... the faster they can decide is on Thursday, which will make round 2 start at Sat / Sun, so they have like almost a week to rest, why they want to lose a game and play game 5 ??  

if u talking about next round when they r more even team, Suns should try to win it as fast as they can, so they have another period of time to rest ( most likely the other match, usually team that *try to lose* a game is not because of player need rest, usually because they want to go back home and win it there

i still think team that try to win as fast as they can will have more rest time than team who *try* to lose a game in between ... but that just me

你而家抄人四場休息完,
跟住第二round再打兩場都冇氣啦 ...

I still don't quite understand.  So are you saying that the Suns will be in better shape next round if they had lost Game 4 today (so that they could get some rest) and then win Game 5?  However, in this case, they will have less time to rest between Game 5 and Game 1 of second round.  

Besides, the playoff schedule is not as brutal as regular season.  Teams usually have at least one day between games, unlike in regular season they will have back-to-back games.  Granted, they all have played a long regular season.  Yet, being professional atheltes, they should be able to handle it.  Besides, that's what it takes to win a championship.

I actually have a different concern on the Suns - their momentum.  If Dallas and Houston need to play 7 games, then the Suns will be idle for a week.  This has affected some playoff teams previously and they needed one or two games to pick up their play.  Hopefully, this won't be the case for the Suns.

just like 2 or 3 yrs ago
Lakers swept every series in West, and they lost Game 1 to 76ers, and 76ers have to play all decision game if i remember right

just checked ...
2-1 when they play Dallas reg. season
2-2 with Houston

it's similar situation for Spurs vs Rockets on 94-95 playoff in West Conference Semi final, except Game 6, home team was lost at that series

太陽再勁,唔通可以直衝決賽咩~
佢地未必可以橫掃成個playoff
有時候唔係淨係長遠打算,為下一round打算既
如上,太陽未必可以橫掃,咁隨時場場搏盡斬唔會win硬架,
有時都要先解決面前既問題o架~
