PHOENIX NOW HAS A REAL SHOT WIN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE
COLORS KEY | FULL SUNS OUTLOOK
Devin Booker’s impressive performances that helped them dethrone the champs now have them in an excellent position to make a run at the conference title. Their next opponents are the Denver Nuggets, who are without star player Jamal Murray and could struggle to defend the Suns high-octane backcourt.
Additionally, another large threat, the LA Clippers, are on the brink of elimination. This would leave Utah as their biggest competition, and they haven’t won the conference since John Stockton and Karl Malone led them in 1998. Getting past the champs and matching up with Denver, along with Booker playing great basketball, sets them up with a real shot to be conference champs this season. The lack of playoff experience and continuity could’ve prevented them from being successful this postseason but D-Book showed he’s ready for the bright lights and CP3 has brought a new level of chemistry that has them looking as good as any NBA team right now.
