It’s not a match-up most NBA fans saw coming.
Not this deep in the Playoffs.
The Los Angeles Lakers and Phoenix Suns tip-off game one of the Western Conference Finals tonight. It’s a battle between big versus small, orthodox versus unorthodox, star power versus will power.
Phoenix practiced Saturday and we had a chance to speak with Jared Dudley, the small forward who’s found his niche in the Suns small ball system. And fortunately, we were able to record the entire conversation into a podcast.
Some of the topics we discussed with Dudley were his thoughts on the Suns coming into the season under-the-radar, the play of teammate Jason Richardson and what they need to do in order to be successful against the Lakers.
