Kevin Durant may have left the Phoenix Suns for the Houston Rockets this offseason - bringing to an end the window of contention in The Valley - but that doesn't mean fans are done wondering what exactly went wrong. The combination of himself, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal - plus some championship winning head coaches - looked too good to fail.
In reality though the lack of depth and complete disregard for defending - with a healthy sprinkling of failing to take care of the basketball - ended the title aspirations before they ever really started. Still, we'll always have that 8-1 beginning to the 2024-25 season.
