Suns Delete Tweet About Lakers After Playoff Matchup Confirmed

The Phoenix Suns will have to play against the Los Angeles Lakers. The seven-game series starts on Sunday. Things got really hot and LeBron James is ready for the challenge. We can imagine the panic in the Suns’ locker room.

After LA overcame a slow start to defeat Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, the officials Suns account fired a tweet to the Lakers. “Sup Lakers,” they wrote.

The tweet is gone now.

Sun reserve guard Abdel Nader wrote a tweet that showed Suns players looking up the scoreboard during a match. This tweet is gone, too.

Suns are ready for LA Lakers

Phoenix took two of three-regular season games against LA. However, they were on the losing end of the most recent game, 123-110. This happened without LeBron in the lineup. Anthony Davis hit 42 points and 12 rebounds and it was his best game since returning from an awful injury.

“We have to understand that teams are sending a message this time of the year. We played playoff teams,” Suns coach Monty Williams said. “Played a team we might see in the first round, and I felt like they were sending us a message tonight. And I think our guys heard it loud and clear.”

Suns veteran Chris Paul shared his thoughts on the upcoming challenge.

“I’ve been in the West my whole career,” Paul said. “West ain’t never been easy. I don’t care who you playing, or what series it is, or what game it is. When I played in New Orleans I was in a division with Memphis, Houston with Yao and T-Mac, and Dallas when they were nice with Dirk and Stackhouse and all them. The West has always been a beast. When you try to match up with someone else, you can get it handed it you. You can’t duck nobody if you really think that you can win it all. You got it go through it.”

How do Lakers players feel about this?

“At the end of the day, we just need to be playing our best basketball. Wherever we fell is where we fell in the standings,” Lakers veteran Wes Matthews said. “But we have a job to do every single night. We don’t view ourselves as a seventh seed.”

Anthony Davis and LeBron James are ready for the upcoming games and they will sure do their best on the floor.
