It really is a feel-good story for the Suns, and it seems like the majority of the community is rooting for them to win. But the job is not yet finished. Not even close.
Phoenix will have to wait for the winner of Clippers/Jazz before they know who their next opponent is, but it won’t be an easy matchup either way.
With Chris Paul, Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton, and a solid supporting cast, the team is deep and very, very talented. But at this stage in the playoffs, nothing will come easy, and most of the roster consists of young and mostly inexperienced players.
But as they continue to prove the doubters wrong, we’ve learned by now to not count them out against anyone. The sky is truly the limit for this club.
