My recollection is Kevin Johnson playing poorly was the problem. Barkley killed and Majerle played well.

Spot on. I watched every minute of that series. For every play KJ made that was good, the other two were out of control / selfish plays that cost em.
The Suns were good enough to win it all.

yeah, KJ was a really great point guard that developed into a superstar in PHX, that's why Barkley went to the Suns. He felt that he could win it all with KJ and co. after failing in Houston with Pippen and the gang. But Johnson just folded like a lawn chair in that series, he just kind of disappeared which is how I would describe his play. I mean MJ was the juggernaut like I've always described him as, an unstoppable force.

but, Barkley had a great chance to win it all went KJ and his team. He just never figured his buddy Kev Johnson would disappear in that championship series like he did. Smh
