Suns 2024 Playoff Schedule: Every playoff game (updated)
Is there a playoff team more intriguing than the Phoenix Suns? We know their ceiling is extremely high. Any team that has Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal on it will have a high ceiling. The question is, and always has been, how will this team perform when it matters most?
The Suns, despite sky-high expectations, finished as the No. 6 seed in the Western Conference with a 49-33 record. Yes, the Western Conference is loaded and Phoenix's record would've had them as the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference, but the Suns have played inconsistent basketball all season long. There have been times when they've looked unstoppable, and other times when they've looked completely overmatched.
By securing the No. 6 seed, the Suns not only avoided the Play-In Tournament, but they got a somewhat favorable matchup as well. The Minnesota Timberwolves are incredibly formidable, but the Suns might have dodged a bit of a bullet avoiding the defending champion Nuggets and up-and-coming Thunder.
