Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns are more than ready to get the playoffs started.

Devin Booker is more than ready to begin the 2023 NBA Playoffs. The Phoenix Suns star is ready to prove to the world that his team is ready for the big stage. The Suns will be seeking their second NBA Finals appearance in three years. Unfortunately for Booker, the Suns failed to win it all in 2021. As the Milwaukee Bucks took down the Suns for the title. However, Booker believes this season will be Phoenix's best chance to win the NBA Championship.

“It’s been all over the place, but I think the main goal and what we realize since we lost last year and lost in the finals the year before that it comes down to this year. That’s the only thing that matters. It’s an important time, and we’re at full health, full strength and it’s time to do it.” Booker's comments came during an interview with azcentral.com. The Suns seem to have every piece that it takes to become the NBA champions. Including one of the greatest scorers of a generation in, Kevin Durant.

Devin Booker Hungry For 2023 Playoffs

Not only do the Suns have Durant and Booker. Also, the team has one of the greatest point guards of all time, Chris Paul. Paul has been starving for his first NBA title. The future Hall-of-Famer's first Finals appearance was in 2021. The loss seeped into last season. Obviously, a reason for Phoenix's failure to reach the mountaintop again. However, now the team feels like it is all coming together this season. The Suns will meet the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round.

Devin Booker doesn't have to wait much longer. Soon the NBA first round will begin, as the play-in tournament starts on Tuesday. The seventh and eighth seeds of each conference will be decided. Afterward, the first round will officially begin this coming Saturday. The Phoenix Suns are full of confidence heading into the NBA Playoffs.
