Outclassed by the Wolves during their first round series of the NBA Playoffs, the Suns could well be swept this evening. And coach Frank Vogel should not survive this terrible humiliation.
Less than a year after his arrival in Phoenix to replace Monty Williams, Frank Vogel can already pack his bags.
If we believe Adrian Wojnarowski d’ESPN, the Suns coach has a good chance of being fired by his boss Mat Ishbia once Phoenix is officially eliminated by Minnesota. As a reminder, the Cactus are down 3-0 in the series and there is absolutely no reason to think they can take even one game against the Wolves.
“Owner Mat Ishbia was quick to make changes (upon his arrival), Frank Vogel’s job is really in danger.”

As Woj points out, in addition to the result it is the way that is disturbing.
The Suns did not see the light of day against the Wolves, losing by at least 12 points on three occasions. Dominated in most areas of the game, uninspired in attack and on the street collectively compared to the Wolves, Phoenix is far, very far from a team capable of playing for the NBA title. And that, for a franchise that spends 190 million dollars, including 130 for the trio Kevin Durant – Devin Booker – Bradley Beal, this is unacceptable.
So of course, as in any fiasco, there is never only one person responsible. In addition to the coach, we can talk about the construction of the roster, the stars who are missing out on their series, without forgetting the injury concerns during the season and even in this first round of Playoffs (Grayson Allen). But as is often the case, the “easiest” change to make is that of the coach. Even more so when the franchise in question has almost no flexibility to improve the roster.
There is increasing buzz around the league that the Suns will fire Frank Vogel after one season, per @wojespn. pic.twitter.com/fAK1p8HRFJ

NBA champion with the Lakers in 2020, Frank Vogel did not survive the Russell Westbrook experience in Los Angeles. He’s also not expected to survive the Big Three experience in Phoenix. If Vogel is indeed fired in the coming days, who would be able to replace him to make the Suns shine?
