Mike Budenholzer just punched his ticket out the door as the Suns reached their breaking point
The Phoenix Suns have severely underachieved this season, and it appears as if Mike Budenholzer is on the hottest of seats.
After being swept by the Timberwolves in the playoffs last season, the Suns fired Frank Vogel and brought in Mike Budenholzer to get this team back on track.
This season has been far from perfect, and the Suns are one of the most disappointing teams in the NBA. A roster that features Bradley Beal, Devin Booker, and Kevin Durant should not be on the outside looking in of the Play-In Tournament in March, and that’s exactly where they’re at.
Notable quotes from Devin Booker and Mike Budenholzer
Sitting as the 11th seed in the West, Phoenix has a record of 28-33, and they’ve now dropped 8 out of their last 10 games. Beginning a three-game home stand on Feb. 27, the Suns dropped that first game against the Pelicans, and Devin Booker appeared visibly frustrated in the postgame press conference.
“It could be fixed with just a little more talking,” Booker said. “Things get tough, and we get quiet as a team … Skipping over the details and always taking the ‘get ’em next game mentality.’ At some point, you got to draw a line and it should’ve been drawn a long time ago.”
