The Phoenix Suns return to the Conference Finals for the first time since 2006, the second trip since Steve Nash signed as a free agent in the summer of 2004. On the previous occasion, the Suns were outlasted by the Mavericks who went on to lose in the NBA Finals to the Miami Heat.
As a Suns’ fan, this is going to be the highlight of the Steve Nash era for me. It wasn’t until last year that Australians received free-to-air NBA games. Now, when One HD has exclusive coverage of the WCF, the Suns break through, exceeding expectations in all quarters.
2010 has to be the year for Steve Nash and the Suns. With the Lebron era upon us, there is an expectation that any of he, Dwyane Wade or Kevin Durant will be winning title after title for the rest of Nash’s career. The 09-10 squad has a unique chemistry and plenty of confidence after sweeping the Spurs.
This season is already a runaway success for the Suns. With many experts leaving them out of the pre-season playoff mix, they’ve had homecourt advantage for two rounds. With most experts picking the Spurs to end the fairy tale, they’ve dusted off the brooms.
Now the Suns are certainly the weakest team left in the draw. They’re supposed to be eliminated quietly by any of the Lakers, the Celtics or the Magic. The pressure is off. So with my expectations in check, it is time to settle back and enjoy the coverage. Go Suns!
