New season, new pattern, NBA league hegemony, many teams take the championship as the ultimate goal, such as the Western Thunder, Suns, Nuggets, Mavericks, Warriors, Eastern Celtics, Cavaliers, Knicks, Bucks, 76ers. Among these teams, the Cavaliers, Celtics, and Thunder have made a strong move, and the situation is very good; the Nuggets, Mavericks, Knicks, Bucks, 76ers, and Warriors each have their own difficulties, but their strength cannot be underestimated; the worst is the Suns, who have the most expensive three giants in the NBA league, but spent the most money to get the most severe blow, and the situation is precarious! From the time the new owner of the Suns, Ishbia, took over the team, they have been eager to take shortcuts to win the championship, at all costs to create a Durant, not, Beal three giants combination! However, the Suns are ambitious but fragile! The three giants of the Suns are plagued by injuries, one injury just healed, another falls down, and so on, which makes people feel sorry for their misfortune and angry with their struggle, and the Suns also have an empty championship dream! Especially in last year's playoffs, the Suns were swept by the Timberwolves led by Hua Zi in the first round, shamefully eliminated, that is called embarrassing! In the new season, the Suns set sail again, and they once maintained a strong competitiveness in the wild west with KD's stable and strong performance. In the 15 games played by KD, the Suns had a record of 13 wins and 2 losses, winning countless praises.…

On January 5th, Beijing time, the Phoenix Suns suffered a 108-126 loss to the Indiana Pacers on the road, marking their fourth consecutive defeat (seven losses in their last eight games). In the first half, the Suns were able to compete with the Pacers, but their defense collapsed in the third quarter, allowing 28 points to 40 and falling behind by 12 points. The game quickly entered garbage time in the fourth quarter. It seems that the Suns really need to consider trading for Butler if they want to see any changes. Bill, who had to leave early in the previous game due to injury, returned without any issues. The trio of stars reunited, with Bill scoring 5 points, 2 rebounds, 1 assist, and 1 steal in the first quarter (2 out of 5 shots, 1 out of 1 three-pointers), Booker scoring 5 points, 1 rebound, and 2 assists (2 out of 3 shots, 1 out of 1 three-pointers), and Durant scoring 10 points, 3 assists, 2 rebounds, and 1 block (4 out of 7 shots).

The competition in the Western Conference this season is much more intense compared to the Eastern Conference. Apart from the first-placed Thunder team, the difference in wins and losses between the second-placed Grizzlies and the tenth-placed Warriors is only six games. It can be said that the teams in the playoff zone have a particularly large number of ranking variables, which also makes the Western Conference rankings change greatly: Rockets secure 3rd and aim for 2nd, Clippers aim for 5th, Spurs rise, Suns drop out of the top 10. Rockets Secure 3rd and Aim for 2nd! The first-placed Thunder team in the West currently has a 12-game winning streak, with a record of 27 wins and 5 losses, ranking first in the West, and leading the second-placed Grizzlies by 5 games, making the first position very stable! The competition for second place in the West is much fiercer, with the Grizzlies at 23 wins and 11 losses, and the Rockets at 22 wins and 11 losses. The difference in wins and losses between the two teams is only 0.5 games, and both have the possibility of taking second place! The Grizzlies' recent performance has been quite good, winning three out of four games. However, the team has encountered significant problems, namely too many injuries. Morant, Aldama, and Adi have all encountered injury situations, causing the team's performance to decline significantly. Especially with the Grizzlies' upcoming schedule not being easy, facing teams like the Kings, Warriors, Mavericks, Rockets, and Timberwolves, all Western Conference teams, it means the Grizzlies will suffer quite…

The NBA's new season has been underway for more than two months. Which team's performance has disappointed us the most? In the Eastern Conference, it was the Bucks and the 76ers at the beginning of the season. At that time, both teams were struggling to win a game and ranked at the bottom of the East. However, as the season progressed, they found their rhythm and started winning games. The Bucks even won the NBA Cup championship and have now climbed to fifth in the East. The 76ers, although their record is not as good, ranking 11th, they have recently been winning more than losing. Embiid, Maxi, and George are gradually developing chemistry, and it can be imagined that the 76ers' ranking will rise in time. In the Western Conference, it's the Suns, Kings, and Pelicans. The Kings are a strange team. During the offseason, they assembled a trio of Fox, DeRozan, and Sabonis, with Monk coming off the bench. No matter how you look at it, they should be a championship-level team. However, their current record is a mess, worse than last season. They were even swept by the Lakers. According to the latest reports, the Kings are willing to trade Fox, which suggests they are preparing to rebuild the team. The Pelicans are even worse to look at, with a record of 5 wins and 29 losses, ranking dead last in the league. Last season, they made it to the playoffs. The Pelicans are basically on the verge of disbanding. Now, Ingram and Zion are both on the…

The NBA regular season is in full swing, and another game day has come to an end. There were many exciting matchups on this game day, with James even setting a new personal milestone while winning. After the end of this game day, the rankings on the Western Conference standings have once again undergone new changes. Let's take a look together. The NBA Western Conference rankings are in chaos: the Lakers rise to fourth, the Warriors' ninth spot is unstable, and the Suns are in trouble. The teams ranked 11th to 15th in the standings are the Suns, Kings, Trail Blazers, Jazz, and Pelicans. The Kings have impressed after changing coaches, winning three consecutive games against strong opponents such as the Mavericks, 76ers, and the top-ranked Grizzlies. These victories carry significant weight. After winning these games, their record stands at 16 wins and 19 losses, just 0.5 games behind the Suns. More importantly, the Suns have suffered three consecutive losses in their last three games. The team's problems are quite evident, and it remains to be seen how they will adjust. To be honest, the Suns are in a bit of trouble, and it will be challenging for them to make further progress this season. Teams ranked 4th to 10th in the standings are the Lakers, Nuggets, Mavericks, Clippers, Spurs, Warriors, and Timberwolves. The Timberwolves have suffered another two consecutive losses and currently have a record of 17 wins and 16 losses, ranking 10th in the Western Conference standings. This is because the Spurs earlier defeated the Nuggets and secured…

This season, the performance of the Phoenix Suns has been quite surprising. In theory, the combination of stars like Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal should have caused a stir, especially after Durant joined, everyone thought the Suns could at least make it into the top five in the West. But what happened? The Suns are currently not even in the top five in the West, and their playoff qualification is not stable. What's going on? The combination of Durant and Booker seems to have failed to produce the expected chemistry. Everyone knows that Durant is a formidable player, but which path did he take? It seems that after winning the championship with the Warriors, he started to focus on the concept of "brotherhood basketball," paying more attention to relationships with teammates on the court rather than individual performance. There were rumors recently that Durant might consider retiring while playing for the Suns, which was quite surprising. After this news came out, many fans were stunned, thinking it was unlikely. However, Durant does seem a bit lost, as his partnership with Booker has never quite lived up to expectations. The Suns' injury problems are also a headache. Both Durant and Booker have been injured, which has had a significant impact on the team's overall efficiency. Especially Durant, whose injury history is somewhat long, although his form is still good, he is not as impressive as before. Moreover, the Suns' inside-outside cooperation always falls short, making the whole team look scattered, and the coaching staff's management is also being questioned.…

Kevin Durant has once again become the focus of the NBA offseason. The Phoenix Suns have offered him a two-year, $120 million top-tier contract, including the rare inclusion of a trade veto clause, demonstrating their immense sincerity. However, the Los Angeles Clippers are not to be outdone, with their offer of a max salary plus special treatment making the competition even more unpredictable. How will Durant make his decision? Durant's battle for the top salary sees the Suns going all out, while the Clippers refuse to back down. This time, the Suns have put a $120 million contract on the table, along with a "tyrannical clause"! What is a tyrannical clause? It means that as long as Durant agrees and signs, the Suns won't even have the right to trade him; no one can persuade them otherwise! This is true love! But the Clippers aren't to be underestimated either, with owner Steve Ballmer directly stating: "Come to me, and I'll give you a max contract, teach you business, and help you earn more money than you could ever make playing basketball!" This isn't just about recruiting; it's an outright grab! Durant now has a tough decision to make, torn between the Suns and the Clippers. Earlier, the Suns tentatively offered Durant a "trial contract": 52millionforoneyear!Durantglancedatitanddeclined,implying:"I′mnotinterestedinsmall−timedeals.Lookatmypastperformances;amIworththisprice?"TheSunsquicklyadjustedtheirstrategy,comingupwitha52 million for one year!
