Three straight playoff collapses for the Phoenix Suns

After being embarrassed on their home court in a Game 7 matchup against the Dallas Mavericks, the Suns responded a year later with the exact same performance.

Somehow, the Suns managed to find a way to completely match their 2022 disappointment, as they went into the half trailing by 30. The exact same deficit that was seen against the Mavs.

Phoenix Suns this year vs. last year…This is crazy. 🤯

Kevin Durant went a miserable 2-11 in the first two quarters, an absolute nightmare scenario.

When you trade your future away for a 13-time MVP, these are the types of games where you expect them to shine.

Instead, the Suns will enter the offseason with the same negative energy as the season prior.

As expected, fans were livid and ultimately fed up with the Suns collapsing in the playoffs three seasons in a row.

They’re airing Mavs Suns game 7 from last year on ESPN right now

Monty Williams will be gone in the off-season. Ishbia hasn’t been pleased.

That I am sure of.

I am also hearing that Chris Paul, Deandre Ayton, and Landry Shamet will be back.

The players aren’t the problem.

It’s the coach.

After the 2021 NBA Finals and Game 7 last year, nothing can break me.

Let’s just get it over with.

Across the valley, it is déjà vu, and it is only a matter of time before the Suns announce yet another apology to the home fans.

Could this be happening all over again?#DENvsPHX#WeAreTheValley pic.twitter.com/pcy0pQg6iq
