Charles Barkley Gives Honest Assessment on Warriors-Suns Playoff Series

The entire NBA world seems to be expecting a Conference Finals series between the Phoenix Suns and Golden State Warriors this year. So much so, that Charles Barkley is already talking about it.
"The one thing that concerns me about my Suns, Klay and Steph against Booker and CP," Charles Barkley said on Inside the NBA. "Klay and Steph don't have to play great for the Warriors to win. Booker and CP3 have to play great for the Suns to win. Those are the two nuclear weapons. Those guys are the two guys. Ayton is going to get me 16 or 17, Bridges gonna get that, Booker is the only guy capable of getting me 30, and CP can get me 20. The problem they got is, they gotta guard them other two guys. So, that's going to be a lot to ask in a seven-game series."
While it's a safe assumption to say that the Suns and Warriors will be facing off in the playoffs, never forget that anything can happen. We've seen the Clippers get eliminated early before, the Milwaukee Bucks get eliminated early, and even the Brooklyn Nets. There are no guarantees that upsets may not happen, but it's very clear that the Suns and Warriors are the two best teams in the Western Conference.
The Warriors and Suns most recently faced off in an incredibly electrifying Christmas Day game that saw the Golden State Warriors emerge as the winners. Their next bout is on March 30 at 7:00 pm PST.
