The Phoenix Suns lost Game 1 of their series against the Los Angeles Clippers, which means that their home-court advantage is gone. There is no doubt that this is a suboptimal situation for the Suns to be in, and if they lose Game 2 at home things will start to look very bleak for them.
After the game, Devin Booker shared his honest feelings following the loss. He stated that the team understands that it is “not going to be easy”, and added that things will be even “harder from here.” An article on ESPN relayed Booker’s words.
“We understand it is not going to be easy,” Booker said. “It gets harder from here. Thinking back to my first (playoffs), every loss is the worst thing ever, and with every win you are going to win the rest of them. That’s just how the playoffs go.”
There’s no doubt that this is a solid sentiment from Devin Booker. He understands that the playoffs aren’t easy but clearly isn’t panicked about the loss. The Phoenix Suns are definitely a more talented team than the Los Angeles Clippers given the fact that Paul George won’t be unavailable until the second round, which means that the Suns are likely to win the series.
This year, Devin Booker has averaged 27.8 PPG, 4.5 RPG, and 5.5 APG for the Phoenix Suns. He has had an All-NBA-level season, and hopefully, he can sustain that sort of production in the postseason.
Devin Booker Isn’t Worried About His Lack Of Chemistry With Kevin Durant
Going into the playoffs, Devin Booker gave a take on his chemistry with Kevin Durant. Booker noted that both players “just hoop” and added that Kevin Durant “knows” what the team is doing.
“We just hoop,” Booker said. “We make reads, we make plays, and we start with a structure and our sets. He fits right into that, and he knows what we’re doing. We kick it at the crib, but we’d done that before. Kev was somebody that I’d pull up on even when we weren’t teammates.”
There is no doubt that the Phoenix Suns have had a limited amount of time to build chemistry with one another. Though chemistry level is definitely important, the Phoenix Suns are one of the most talented teams in the Western Conference. Perhaps their ability alone can get them to the Finals, and we’ll see what happens in the future.
