For
the first time since 2010 the Phoenix Suns have reached the NBA Playoffs. The Suns finished the season 51-21 and are
the number 2 seed in the Western Conference.
The Suns are led by offseason accusation point guard Chris Paul and
Devin Booker. The two guards have also
gotten help from center Deandre Ayton and veteran Jae Crowder. The Suns have several other key players that
have helped them to their success.
The
Suns begin the playoffs today when they host game 1 of a 7 games series with
the Los Angeles Lakers. The Lakers are
led by Lebron James and Anthony Davis.
Due to injury the Lakers have not been at full strength all season long
and had to win a play in game to clinch the 7th seed.
Phoenix
has had a tremendous season and many fans expect the Suns to go far in the
playoffs. Unfortunately, the Suns do not
match up well with the Lakers. Lebron is
a superstar and is going to get his no matter who you gave guard him. He should not be there main concern. That honor goes to Anthony Davis.
Davis is going to be difficult for the Suns to defend, but not impossible. Deandre Ayton will be the key to this series. He has an opportunity to let the rest of the NBA know that he is and will continue to be a dominant force.
