Kevin Durant has altered the entire landscape of the NBA Playoffs. Since his arrival in Phoenix, Durant has helped the team look like an unstoppable force. The team has yet to lose when Durant is on the court. Durant missed some time when he first arrived in Phoenix after a freak pre-game incident. However, when Durant is healthy, there may not be a better team in the league. After the Suns’ victory over Denver Thursday, Durant spoke about gearing up for the 2023 playoffs.
We have played 80-something games, logged in a thousand minutes of film. If you’re a playoff coach and you don’t know how we’re coming as a team, you’re not prepared for how we’re coming as a team, then I don’t think you should have that job,” Durant stated. Durant’s comments do make a lot of sense if you think about it. Everyone has seen everyone else’s best hand. There’s no secret plan to defeat the other team. Opposing teams know what the Suns bring to the table. But stopping them is an entirely different story.
Kevin Durant Is Ready For A Playoff Run
The Suns will have a tough challenge with whoever they’re matched up with within the first round. While the complete playoff standings are not set. The Los Angeles Clippers would be the current opponent for Phoenix. However, the Golden State Warriors still have a chance to sneak into that fifth seed. The Western Conference is shaping up to be a plethora of fun matchups. But Pheonix doesn’t care who is on the other sideline. It is time to get locked in for the playoffs.
Kevin Durant doesn’t care who the Suns meet in the first round. It also doesn’t matter who they’ll meet. As winning the NBA Finals is never going to be a cakewalk for anyone. However, something tells me that if Durant plays the Warriors in the first round, the league would love to see it. Who do you believe is the favorite to win the NBA Finals?
