Published 2024-04-27
The season has not gone the way anyone envisioned it, as Phoenix is now in danger of being swept in the first round despite having Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal on their team.
The Suns were outrebounded 50-28 tonight, as Anthony Edwards had 36 points for Minnesota.
For the third straight game, the Timberwolves dominated the third quarter, outscoring Phoenix 36-20. The Suns have now been outscored 95-61 in third quarters this series and haven’t scored more than 21 points in the quarter.
Game 4 is on Sunday at 6:30 p.m. MST. The Suns will be looking to avoid their first series sweep since 1999, when the Blazers beat them 3-0 in a best-of-5 series. They haven’t been swept 4-0 since 1989 when the Lakers did so in the Western Conference Finals.

My dad has been a fan since season 2 in 1970. He was a ball boy for the Suns and has been a die hard fan for 53 years. Tonight, he said this was the most frustrating and disappointing season he has ever watched.
-
I hear a lot of upset comments in this section. As a Minnesota born fan, I respect Frank Vogel's honesty and strategy. I watched the Suns get outplayed again, but I definitely saw them make a hell of an effort and awareness what they need to do. There was definitely more juice. I hope they bounce back in the series and get to a game 7. May the best team win.

There's no point in crying, suns fans. Wolves are just better this year.
-
He seems baffled that role players took the game and not “KAT or Ant”… and that… is why the Suns are loosing. Wolves has a team. Suns has a “bug three”
-
This guy will be fired the second the season ends and it’s been long overdue.
-
Bad choice for head coach constantly making the same mistakes with zero adjustment.
-
Enjoy finding a new job frank u are 100 percent the reason we are down 3-0 u dont make adjustments u dnt play ur bench and iam tired of them stupid small ball lineups when gobert is 7,1🤔🤦
-
We got out coach 😂😂😂😂 franky
-
He should have run Nurkic, Bol Bol and KD with Beal and Booker.
-
Things haven’t seemed right from the get go under Vogel and there’s been no signs of any progress. He has to go.
-
We want Montey Williams back
-
Monty would never
-
"We gotta compete" Time to go Frank! You're a coach in Title only.
-
I hope vogel not in the lineup on Sunday for suns to have a chance to win at least 1.
-
“We gotta look at the films”. What the fuck have you been doing this series and this season if you now have to “watch films”. This dude never gonna coach I’m the NBA again
-
Durant destroys another team. He is poisonous. No leadership, soft and bad energy. What a waste of space.
-
This dude didn't talk about offensive adjustments ONE time! You know why? Because he's trash on that end of the floor! People thinking that a PG is what's gonna fix our team, the PG is there to run the offense. They're useless if there's no offense to run!
-
Def a rebuild they need a good blocker
-
Coach isn’t responsible for everything though, he didn’t construct the team! But personally i don’t think anyone has the guts to get in the stars faces and hold them accountable, i mean showing your pissed off and really grilling them and teaching when they’re not performing not just saying we need to do better..otherwise what’s the point in being a coach or wanting to be coached. Monty was soft, Frank almost as soft. We need a hard F’ing coach who doesn’t discriminate or pander.

Suns have zero offense, three ISO scores going one on one against the best defense in the league. Anthony Edwards, Jaden McDaniel, Nikeil Alexander-Walker along with Gobert form their own All-Defensive team. Chris Finch identified his roster as being able to have an elite defense prior to the season began. Great defense will always trump a great offense, Suns can look back at D'Antoni and his SSOL Suns to know that. Trading Deandre Ayton for Jusuf Nurkic will go down as one of the worst trades in Suns franchise history. Phoenix needs to trade Devin Booker this summer. He is NOT that guy. Game two play where Booker goes one of four, commits offensive foul then whines about it and demands Vogel to review the call. Suns lose challenge and a time-out. The young guns, Edwards and OKC's SGS have taken over this season. Suns, Clippers, Lakers are all through as presently constructed.
