The Phoenix Suns have been building a very strong record as the postseason approaches.
Following Thursday night’s win over the Denver Nuggets, they have now secured seven victories in a row and are the fourth seed in the West.
But even though they aren’t at the top of the standings, many people believe they could be claiming the Larry O’Brien trophy in just a few months.
NBA analyst Skip Bayless is one of those people.
“I was a little shaky when KD got injured, but I stand by what I said: the Suns will win the NBA Championship,” Bayless tweeted on Friday morning.

Bayless certainly isn’t alone in the thought that the Suns could go all the way.
They will likely face off against the Los Angeles Clippers or Golden State Warriors in the opening round of the playoffs next weekend.
Most analysts agree that they have the power to overcome the experience both of those teams hold.
The addition of Kevin Durant has transformed this team into an immediate championship contender.
If he had been with this team all season long, there is little doubt they’d be much higher than the fourth seed.
As Bayless mentioned, there was great concern when Durant experienced his latest injury a few weeks ago.
People feared that was a dark omen of what was to come.
But Durant recovered and is again looking like the elite player and team leader he has been for some time.
Everything has come together for the Suns at the perfect time and it has many people betting it all on them.
