Can anyone stop the Phoenix Suns?

Can anyone stop the Phoenix Suns? Devin Booker (Google Images)

The National Basketball Association’s hottest team right now is also the league’s best. With an eight game winning streak, the Phoenix Suns currently have a record at 61 wins and 14 losses, with a winning percentage of .813. The Suns are so far ahead of the pack, the Memphis Grizzlies happen to have the second best record in the NBA at 53 wins and 23 losses, but they are eight and a half games back of Phoenix.

The Suns have already clinched home court advantage through the entire 2022 NBA Playoffs. Phoenix achieved that mark on Thursday in a 140-130 Suns win over the Denver Nuggets. The Suns then won their eighth straight on Sunday in a 114-104 win over the Philadelphia 76ers.

One would think the Suns would have been off their game a little with Chris Paul out of the lineup with a broken right thumb.  At the time there was speculation he would be out six to eight weeks. The eight-week time frame would have meant Paul would not have been ready for the start of the playoffs. To the relief of Suns fans, he was only gone one month.

In the 15 games Paul missed, the Suns were more than respectable, as they posted a record of 11 wins and four losses. There is no doubt that Paul makes the Suns better, but as of late, Phoenix’s top player is without a doubt Devon Booker. On Thursday in Denver, Booker scored 49 points and added 10 assists. That was followed by 35 points against the 76ers. On the season, Booker has 1694 points, the eighth most in the NBA.

Can anyone beat the Suns in a seven game series? The answer is yes. But it would take a complete effort and the ability to stop a unit that is full with confidence, with seven games left in the regular season.
