The Phoenix Suns are the first team to be eliminated from the semifinals. This means that they have once again managed to go without an NBA title, even with Kevin Durant. They are in huge trouble as they failed to make it to the Western Conference Finals. The Suns have now gone 3 seasons after being favored to win the title. With the addition of Kevin Durant, things looked heavily in favor of them this season.
It is one thing to be eliminated from the playoffs against one of the best teams in the NBA. However, it is how they lost to the Nuggets. They lost the game in the first quarter when the Nuggets established a huge lead. The Suns didn’t look likely to catch them from there and finished the game 125-100. However, they are now being torched by the NBA fans after being eliminated from the playoffs.

Playing at home in Game 6, they hoped to force Game 7. However, as predicted earlier, it would be a huge upset after Deandre Ayton was sidelined. He was out for Game 6 after suffering a rib contusion. This saw the Nuggets rip apart their defense. The Nuggets ended up winning the game by 25 points. With a disappointing loss, the fan torched the Suns, “This is why Suns are the corniest team in the league bro,” one fan commented on Twitter.

It is once again a similar scenario with the Suns, who went into the playoffs being heavy favorites to win the title. Even with the addition of Kevin Durant, the Suns managed to dig themselves into a hole early in the series. Even with tieing the series 2-2, all the momentum looked to be on their side. However, they once again managed to throw it all away when things got serious. The Suns’ fans are left disappointed, as they saw their team bow out of the playoffs. With injuries to Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton, the Suns dealt a huge blow even before Game 6 started. However, the dismal performance from their best player is never an excuse, as Cameron Payne stepped up to finish with a team-high 31 points.
