The first round of the NBA playoffs in the 23-24 season has come to an end, and today there have been three sets of matchups in the West, the Lakers lost to the Nuggets with a total score of 1-4, the Pelicans lost to the Thunder 0-4, and the Suns lost to the Timberwolves 0-4.
It's another year of early playoff exits, and fans think the Lakers should take the blame? In the case that Zhan Mei has done his best, the role players of the Lakers are disappointing, and today Russell returned to the iron mode, shooting only 2 of 10 three-pointers, he has a player option this summer, and I personally think he should continue to execute, dare to jump out of the contract and get a base salary next season. No team would have signed him at a high price for such a nervous knife player.
Dinwiddie didn't play too well with the Lakers, his highest score in the playoffs was only 8 points, and it was difficult for Dinwiddie to play too well when the Lakers didn't have enough ball possession and shooting opportunities.
The Heat, who are currently 1-3 behind, can also plan for next season in advance, and they may only be able to make minor repairs to the roster this summer, and Highsmith's performance in this year's playoffs is not ideal, will he stay with the Heat next season?
The Suns are the first team to be swept in the NBA in the 23-24 season, because of the limited salary space, the Suns' operation this summer is also very difficult, if you want to strengthen the Suns, the Suns can only be traded, and a number of their role players are likely to leave in the offseason, Royce O'Neal can only average a pitiful 5 points per game in the playoffs this year, can he continue to stay with the Suns?
The Magic team is currently tied 2-2 with the Cavaliers, and if the Magic team wants to complete the next game, they must stimulate their offensive potential, Kerr Anthony's performance in the first four games of the series is actually very bad, Anthony has only one point increase in the first four games of the series, and he can only average 4.2 points per game in the playoffs, so it is really difficult for Anthony to get a big contract
