The Phoenix Suns still have some work to do, but they’ve put themselves in position to be among the field of eight Western Conference teams when the NBA Playoffs begin.

Why Suns can compete with Spurs, Thunder in NBA PLayoffs

If and when that day comes, the Suns will most likely begin their playoff journey against one of the Oklahoma City Thunder or San Antonio Spurs.

Daunting as it may seem to face the presumptive MVP in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander or the presumptive Defensive Player of the Year in Victor Wembanyama, Devin Booker and the Suns have shown the ability to compete with the NBA’s best this season.

Due to injuries, Phoenix has stumbled toward the regular season’s finish line, but it is getting healthy ahead of the final stretch and could be primed to make one of the West’s top seeds sweat.

With just nine games remaining in the regular season, PHNX Suns draws from a recent conversation with ALLCITY NBA and ESPN’s Tim Legler to take a closer look at the state of the Suns and how they would fare in a postseason series against a title contender.
