The Warriors have won all six of their home playoff games so far.

His $30 million salary for 2024-25 is non-guaranteed and becomes fully guaranteed if not waived by June 28, 2024. As long the Suns keep their core together, they are going to be taxpayers every year from here on out. Utilizing the MLE would increase that $16 million tax payment to $32 million. This doesn’t include a new contract for Ayton whose first-year salary will likely take them over the tax by itself. Dario Saric will also be extension-eligible but the Suns may want to see how he looks coming back from an ACL injury first. Earlier in the season, we looked at his value and viewed Kevin Huerter’s four-year, $65 million contract as a potential baseline for Johnson. It’s possible that he may have surpassed that valuation with his recent play. Look for the Suns to lock up their franchise player. The full maximum salary could be a sticking point in negotiations. He is also eligible for up to four years, $131.2 million either through an offer sheet or sign-and-trade to another team. They’ll be limited to using the taxpayer mid-level exception to make an addition and they’ll finally enter the luxury tax for the first season of many. Phoenix’s main goals this offseason are similar to last year’s where they mainly needed to re-sign or extend their players.

It was over by halftime and represents the most disappointing end in recent memory for Phoenix sports fans,

It was worse than the Cardinals getting blasted by the Rams in last season’s playoffs. Mixed martial arts simply doesn’t have the history and cultural penetration of NBA basketball. For them, their careers might be divided. Everything from here forward could end up being remembered as AD, “after Dallas.” It was so bad that it could stain the legacy of everyone involved. Kyler Murray threw an underhanded interception in that game. On Sunday, he had five points on five shots. At home. That shirt was on display during the game, but the spirit that inspired it wasn’t. At halftime. After the Suns set a franchise record for victories, the team started selling shirts that read “64 was never the goal; it was just a byproduct of refusing to lose.” The game was over by halftime, and it was a performance so humiliating that it has stained the legacy of everyone involved.

Losing Game 7 of the NBA playoffs is usually not a disgrace. But it was for the Suns Sunday against the Mavericks.

Paul was awful in the final five games of the series. Booker was shut down in Games 6 and 7, and the bench, which had been a detriment most of these playoffs, wasn’t equipped to dig the Suns out of a minor depression, much less a sinkhole so large it swallowed the hopes of long-suffering Suns fans. The Suns needed at least one of the Booker, Paul and Ayton trio, preferably more, to at least play their normal games. They seemed to think they could turn back into the NBA’s best team whenever they wanted. Forward Cam Johnson said after the game he would give anything to rewind the clock five hours, a feeling thousands of Suns fans shared. They were out-coached and out-played, two things that didn't seem possible through much of the regular season. Paul played poorly for the fifth consecutive time in this series, leading to speculation that he wasn't healthy. Meanwhile, Doncic, whom the Suns passed on to take Ayton first overall in 2018, dominated. The thing about stars, you notice them when they shine brightly, and when they don’t show up. Not one of the worst. Guard Devin Booker missed all seven attempts in the first half and finished with 11 points. The Suns grew tighter.

Stupeur à Phoenix : les Suns ont été humiliés sur leur parquet lors du match 7 de la série du deuxième tour face aux Dallas Mavericks (90-123).

Dès la fin du troisième quart-temps (50-92, 36e), les supporters locaux vidaient les gradins, lassés de voir leur équipe s'enfoncer toujours plus. Assez rapidement, Williams jetait l'éponge et les deux bancs se vidaient pour une fin de partie sans saveur, à l'exception des visiteurs qui pouvaient célébrer en compagnie de leur propriétaire Mark Cuban l'improbable retournement de situation. Une première pour Booker et les siens, qui n'avaient jamais été menés par une telle marge cette saison.

Après un Game 7 historique malgré lui, les Dallas Mavericks éliminent les Phoenix Suns et se qualifient pour la finale de conférence contre les Warriors.

Devin Booker a quant à lui vu sa cote de pleurnicheur augmenter en flèche. Enfin, la twittosphère a bien rigolé lorsqu’elle s’est souvenue que Deandre Ayton demandait le max cet été. Bref, les Suns vont devoir se relever dès la saison prochaine. Alors qu’ils ont livré la meilleure régulière de leur histoire, les Phoenix Suns vont s’incliner en demi-finale de conférence, dans un blowout à domicile. La deuxième mi-temps suit le même cours que la première… en pire : Dallas prend jusqu’à 50 points d’avance. Luka Magic poursuit sa symphonie, accompagné par les solistes Brunson et Dinwiddie. À eux trois, ils représentent 89 points, soit 72% de la production texane et 99,99% de celle arizonienne. L’impossible est devenu réalité. Les Mavericks ont créé l’upset contre les Suns. C’est donc officiel, 100% des brackets sont désormais bons à jeter. Chris Paul qui avait l’occasion unique de cimenter sa legacy sur ces Playoffs, s’est ridiculisé sur les matchs 3 à 7. Le garbage time est envoyé à six ou sept minutes de la fin. Pour Cam Johnson, c’est à 3-points que l’enfant de Ljubljana lui pose problème. Il se fait laisser pour mort sur le parquet après un step-back du Slovène, fini en filoche. À la pause, Luka dispose déjà de 27 points, 9 rebonds et 3 passes, le tout à 9/12 au tir dont 4/7 de loin. Une honte à ce stade de la compétition (et à tous les autres aussi). Monty Williams a même pris la décision de sortir CP3 pour tenter le coup Landry Shamet. Les Cactus ont dû s’en remettre au 1/6 à 3-points de Jae Crowder, à l’adresse de Cam Johnson en sortie de banc et aux shoots timides de Mikal Bridges. Une consigne que n’ont visiblement pas reçu les Suns. La meilleure équipe de la Ligue en saison régulière a abordé cette rencontre d’une horrible manière. Un truc entre la peur et la prétention. Comme si dans leurs têtes, le scénar’ était écrit d’avance. Eh bien non. Une finale de conférence, surtout après un septième match, ça se mérite. Les Suns ont tremblé, les Suns se sont effondrés. À la mi-temps, le trio Chris Paul – Devin Booker – Deandre Ayton est rentré aux vestiaires avec un vilain 1/15 au tir. De toute façon, cette nuit, il n’y avait pas besoin d’être un défenseur élite pour contrer une offensive des Suns. Il y aussi eu ce coaching toujours très intelligent de Jason Kidd, accompagné par de l’envie, de la présence, et une combativité palpable.

The Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks have updated their injury reports for Game 7 as of 5:30 Eastern Time.

However, they picked up right where they left off, and finished the regular season as the first seed in Western Conference and also the best record in the entire NBA. The series has been an extremely volatile one as the road team has gone 0-6, and the home team in the series is 6-0. The winner of the game will advance to the Western Conference Finals to play the Golden State Warriors.

Il n'y a pas eu match. Ce dimanche soir, les Mavericks ont détruit les Suns dans leur Game 7, avec une grande prestation de Luka Doncic.

Enfin, Doncic est le deuxième plus jeune joueur de l’histoire à caler 35 points et 10 rebonds dans un Game 7, seulement devancé par Tom Heinsohn. Quoi qu’il arrive, sa performance est historique, tout comme celle des Texans d’ailleurs. Luka Doncic contre Stephen Curry ? À ne pas manquer. Dès le premier quart, avec un run de 27-17, Dallas a pris les devants, bien porté par Luka Doncic. Le Slovène avait prévenu : il adore la pression, et brille dans ces moments. 10 rebonds en plus, 4 passes et 2 interceptions : il était injouable dans ce Game 7, et peut avoir le sourire, il affrontera les Warriors en finale de conférence à l’Ouest. Ce dimanche soir, les Mavericks ont détruit les Suns dans leur Game 7, avec une grande prestation de Luka Doncic. Le Slovène a été injouable, avec des statistiques tout simplement folles. Il y avait deux Games 7 ce dimanche soir en NBA, et aucun n’a eu le droit à un joli suspense au bout de 48 minutes.

The Phoenix Suns' season ended in devastating fashion on Sunday, as they lost Game 7 of their second-round series with the Dallas Mavericks, 123-90.

Of course, there's always a chance that things calm down over the next few weeks, and Ayton either signs a new long-term deal with the club or takes the one-year qualifying offer worth $16.4 million. As Booker alluded to in his quote, Ayton is set to hit restricted free agency this summer. Kind of hard to look so far in the future." The Suns will have exit interviews in the next few days, however, so we should hear from him at some point in the near future. While the night did not go to plan for anyone on the Suns, it was particularly rough for Deandre Ayton. The big man finished with five points and four rebounds in just 17 minutes of action.

Dans le Game 7 d'une série où les deux équipes avaient remporté tous les matches à domicile jusque-là, les Phoenix Suns ont subi une véritable humiliation dans leur salle.

Despite the Phoenix Suns' dominance of the regular season, it's the same result — another year and another legacy-defining playoff exit for Chris Paul.

Making matters even worse is the fact that Phoenix was supposed to be on a redemption tour this year after blowing a 2-0 series lead over the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA Finals. I think that’s on me, the point guard, the leader of the team to get the right shots. And Paul’s play since the Suns took a 2-0 series lead over the Mavericks has been nothing short of pedestrian. In fact, he finished the game with a career-worst minus-39 plus/minus rating and just 10 total points Paul turned in that performance against a pesky Pelicans squad with Devin Booker returning for the first time after a hamstring injury sidelined him for Games 3, 4 and 5. The Suns were eliminated in humiliating fashion by the Dallas Mavericks, losing by a score of 123-90.

Phoenix's season—which before the playoffs had been the best in franchise history—ended in shocking, confusing, humiliating fashion on Sunday night.

From Paul’s legacy to Luka’s chance to become the guy to beat, the fallout of this game is significant. For the second straight summer, the Suns will have to dig deep to respond. The loss was a record-scratch moment for the Suns. You play all year to get homecourt in a Game 7 only to be run off the floor anyway. Instead, they come abruptly, like all the lights being switched on in the middle of the night. the Warriors. The 2–0 lead in the Finals. And now, one of the most unexpected blowouts ever. Bridges went 0-for-3 from beyond the arc, which means he finished the series with five made threes, or as many as Spencer Dinwiddie hit in Game 7 alone. He said his only message to the team was it’s time to get back to work. Phoenix’s starters had 37.) It was as thorough of a whooping as you will ever see in professional sports, and that’s with some great players on the other side of the floor. He even out-manipulated Luka earlier in the series. Didn’t Dončić still need more playoff seasoning before he could make the Finals? Wasn’t this supposed to be the storybook finish that had long eluded Chris Paul? Weren’t the Suns far and away the best team in the NBA? Dallas put all those questions to bed mercilessly and with brutality in what was a landscape-changing win for the league. Almost immediately, you could sense a slight murmur in the crowd. At that point, Dallas held what was an insignificant 5–3 lead when Luka Dončić dribbled the ball up the middle of the floor across halfcourt.
