The Suns lost at home to the Clippers, and after that loss, the Suns lost their sixth place in the West. At the end of the regular season, the Suns actually achieved such a record, which made many Suns fans very dissatisfied, they believe that the team formed a super triumvirate of Beal, Booker, and Durant at the beginning of the season, thinking that the team would successfully enter the Western Conference playoffs to impact the championship trophy, but now it has become a question whether they can enter the playoffs.
The Suns' Big Three has also become a laughing stock in the eyes of many media, and this loss has also made many fans unable to understand, after all, in this game with the Clippers. The opponent did not send Harden and Leonard on the court, and it stands to reason that the Suns should have no problem winning at home. But the final score said it all. The Clippers don't have a big three, but they play more like a team. On the other hand, the Suns' stars are stuck in individual solo battles.
Of course, in this game, Bill's performance was quite satisfactory. However, Durant and Booker were more disappointing. Booker barely rested throughout the game, but he scored just 12 points in the game. If he plays the playoffs in this form, he will not be able to defeat his opponents, let alone help the team win the championship.
Assuming the Clippers play with the strongest lineup, the Suns may lose even more at home. Booker has grown very fast in recent years, and he has been regarded by many media as the best guard in the West, which is why the Suns are willing to give him a huge contract of 5 years and $260 million, but Booker's performance is not at all sorry for his annual salary.
Many fans who don't like Booker have long said that Booker is a pseudo-superstar, he just likes to brush up on the court, when Paul was on the court, Booker tasted the sweetness, which is why Booker's data at that time was very eye-catching, the main reason is that Paul often likes to give Booker assists, which also makes him look like a quasi-All-Star. But as soon as Paul is gone now, Booker's true form is revealed, and he is no longer a superstar in such a performance. Many fans said that he was the most important person to leave on the Suns.
This is also the reason why Durant took the initiative to join the Suns after leaving the Nets, and he hopes to form the strongest duo with Booker. But contrary to expectations, Durant seems to be disappointed again this season, many fans said that Durant is really unladylike, he was played by Booker again, and it has become more and more difficult to stay here and compete for the championship. Of course, if Booker only scores on the court, does not participate in defense and does not connect teammates, then it may be a long time before the Suns want to compete for the championship, but whether Durant can continue to stay here is still a question mark.
