SunsPoor performance in recent games and a plagued record. They have lost to the Nuggets, Lakers, Nets, Knicks and in their last few gamesTrailblazer, won only two victories, of which the opponents wereWizardsAnd without Morant'sGrizzly bears。Looking at the record, the Suns' problems are mainly focused on the lack of playmakers and a player who can lead the team consistently in the regular season. DurantwithBookerThey are great scorers, but they are not very good at making their teammates stronger. Even Bill is thereWizardsThe team's performance was not great, and the last time they made the playoffs was when Willis joined. Therefore,SunsStill facing the team's organizational problems.
Expanding:SunsThe performances in the last few games have really disappointed the fans. They play with the Nuggets, Lakers, Nets, Knicks andTrailblazerThese strong teams met and all ended in defeat. Since this time,Suns's win rate has been sluggish, and the record is not good. It is worth mentioning that they look back andWizards, no Morant'sGrizzly bearsThe team's game, but they all won by coincidence. Exactly becauseSuns's players aren't strong enough to compete with strong teams, or is it because of something else?We found thatSunsThere is a need for a good playmaker and a player who can lead the team forward consistently. EvenDurantwithBookerSuch a scorer is also unable to effectively lead his teammates, reflecting the team's organizational problems. And Bill's addition didn't let itSunsThis has progressed, but it has only made the problem more prominent.
SunsTried to make the playoffs for years, but untilChrisWith the addition of Paul, they really found a breakthrough. Even though Paul is 35 years old, his presence is rightSunsis crucial. Since he joined the Suns, the team's record has improved significantly, and they even reached the Finals last season. SunsWorking with Paul has allowed them to get out of the playoffs in the past, and they have never missed the playoffs. It can be said thatSunsThe root of the problem lies in the lack of a leader like Paul.
Expanding:ChrisPaul's accession toSunschanged everything. SunsFor years, he tried to break through the playoff threshold, but he never succeeded. It wasn't until Paul's arrival that they found a way to break the deadlock. Although Paul is now 35 years old, his influence is still not negligible. His presence letSunsRenewed on the battlefield. After Paul joined the Suns, the team's overall record improved significantly, and even reached the Finals last season. The result was a source of encouragement for the team's fans and impressive for their opponents. Paul's arrival filledSunsThe absence of leadership has made the team more confident and planned in the game. Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that Paul was very interested inSunsis significant.
SunsCurrently dependentDurantwithBookerbut they can't solve the team's problems. In the most recent game,DurantGot 40 points, but still couldn't help the team win. BookerAlthough he performed well in the game, he could not turn it around on his ownSunsThe state of the defense. AlthoughSunsThey are great on the offensive end, but they are very weak defensively. DurantAngrily pointed out after the game, noTrailblazerThe three points are too accurate, ratherSunsThere are serious problems with the outside defense, which leads to easy scoring for opponents. CurrentSunsGot stuck, even ifDurantNo amount of scoring will help. They need a player with good playmaking and defensive quality to change that.
Expanding:SunsHeavy reliance in the current gameDurantwithBookerHowever, they did not solve the problems of the team. In a recent game,DurantThe performance was excellent, with 40 points alone, but the team still couldn't win. At the same time,BookerHis scoring prowess was also shown in the game, but their efforts seemed to be invincibleSunsThe state of the defense. AlthoughSunsHe was great on the offensive end, but weak defensively. DurantAfter the game, he pointed out that the opponent should not be blamedTrailblazerof three points of accuracy, ratherSunsThey have serious problems defending themselves from the outside, which leads to easy scoring for opponents. NowadaysSunsGot stuck, even ifDurantNo matter how high the score is, it can't turn the tide. They need a player with great playmaking and defensive qualities to change the defensive situation.
Team Rocket andSunsThe same mistake was made by underestimating the value of the team's brains. In '19, the Rockets gave up on Paul and sent him to the Thunder, and as a result, the team's offensive and defensive capabilities collapsed in an instant, and it disintegrated in just one season. NowadaysSunsHe also struggled on both ends of the floor because he gave up on Paul, and he may not even be able to make the playoffs. SunsNow you may regret that you have a deeper understanding of Paul's importance, and at the same time you regret that you are in Bill and at the same timeHardenmade the wrong choice. After all, Beal will receive an average salary of $50 million over the next four years, and he doesn't have Paul andHardenThat kind of strength. The former Nets Big Three were very good on the offensive end, although they were not good defensively. DurantLeaving the Nets was to prove to the Warriors what they were capable of, howeverSunsThe management's bad decisions kept him further and further away from the championship. The Clippers' Big Three have excellent performances both offensively and defensivelyNetsThe offense is also very strong, and the defense is relatively good. In contrast,SunsThe Big Three are in good shape on offense, but they are lacking defensively. So even ifSunsThe Big Three stay healthy, and they can only reach their current levels. If they succeed in bringing in a statueHardenSuch a player,Suns's offensive ability will be greatly improved, and the defensive aspect will also be improved.
