The Phoenix Suns' championship aspirations in the 2007 season reached their peak after several seasons of striving and enduring.
They believe they are ready. Compared to their slightly immature team in 2005, and after Stoudemire's major injury and Diaw's breakout in 2006, the Suns have a more solid foundation.
Glory and Gan Guoyang are their biggest obstacles to the O'Brien Trophy.
Charles Barkley has come to the scene as a Suns legend to do commentary.
"I once beat Ah Gan in 1993! I believe Nash and Stoudemire can do it again! 1993, damn, it's already been 14 years. Ah Gan is still playing in the West Finals."
"I think the Suns have a definite advantage. Although they played seven games in the semifinals against the Trail Blazers, Glory is taking it easy, but the Suns' firepower is hard for Glory to cope with. Their regular-season performance has proved this point, Glory can't keep up with the Phoenix people's pace."
