Everyone knows in the playoffs that after every round, half of the teams are out, this is the series, this is the knockout round. In the past playoffs, some teams were eliminated very tragically, and it took a tie-break to separate the winners and losers, and although they were eliminated, they had no regrets. Some teams were swept, and teams like this are really incomprehensible. When it comes to this year's playoffs, there are teams that will play in the Kings Mountain right away, such as the Cavaliers and Magic, as well as the Clippers and Mavericks. Some teams are 1-3 down, and they are one step away from being out. In addition, some teams have already been out, that is, in an extremely humiliating way, they have been swept out of the tournament without a single victory.
The playoffs are unforgiving, and opponents don't care if you have injuries or not. You can look at the Bucks and the Clippers, the core players have injuries, but the game still has to be played one game at a time. On the other hand, a team like the Suns, who is healthy, but quite spicy. First, during the regular season, you can refrain from your opponents, but you can't do it in the playoffs. Second, the Big Three are not the Big Three in the true sense of the word. G1 Suns lost by 25 points, G2 Suns lost by 12 points, G3 lost by 17 points, and G4 lost by 6 points. After four games, he lost by 60 points. This is what a big three team is doing as the core? It's really incomprehensible, and it also refreshes everyone's cognition.
Someone has to take the blame for losing, especially this way of losing. If you want to find the backer, the first one is naturally Vogel. Shams has already revealed some information that the Suns will be considering a change of coach, at least a change in the coaching staff. Why do people want to move the coach as soon as they are out? In fact, the coach is the lowest cost. Vogel is the same, he is a defensive coach, but the lineup is not very defensive, what do you let him do. Of course, Durant is also unhappy with his place in the Vogel system. Of course, from Vogel's point of view, the signing is a five-year contract, and even if he leaves the team, he will not have to worry about running out of money for the next four years.
The other thing we need to know is that for these big teams, when they lose, they will doubt themselves, do they want to say goodbye to the top teams, and just after playing a series, they will break up? Now there is news that Booker likes the Knicks. Booker is averaging 27.1 points and 6.9 assists per game, in the prime of his career, and remains the league's top scorer. But now the initiative is in the hands of the Suns, and it's up to them to evaluate it. As for Durant and Beal, the most valuable is Durant, who may be able to exchange two first-rounders to come back. As for Bill, he's really soldered the trio to the championship, if they don't break up. The Suns are out so quickly that Beal has to take the blame, especially G4, which is not even as good as a role player.
Regardless, this offseason is important for the Suns. The owner of the Suns likes to rush for quick success, and he frequently makes big moves just to win the championship quickly. It may be the Raptors' experience that gave the Suns owner a delusion. What we need to know is that the Raptors can win the championship, except for their own accumulation and Leonard, who has been healthy for a season, they have done well in all positions. All in all, the Suns are at a crossroads.
