    Suns traded away their entire future for this

  2. MediocreTake

    Post game thread could have went up an hour and a half ago

  3. KD turns to Perry Jones with a shoe deal when it’s time to win without the greatest team ever

  4. homefree122

    What an absolute beat down. Total domination from a squad that performed like a championship caliber team. The title is Denver’s to lose.

  5. MKenshiX

    I really watched a sloppy fat white European man blow out the Phoenix Sons two years in a row

  6. madamsquirrel7

    Didn’t expect Cam Payne to carry KD and Booker tonight.

  7. CostOk1173

    This game was nowhere near as close as the score shows.

  8. REQ52767

    Well at least the Suns won the second half by 5 lmao

  9. simon2105

    Mortgage your future, your kids future, and your grandkids future for Kevin Durant.

    Best I can offer you is a second round playoff exit.

  10. As we all thought, Ayton was holding the Suns together. They should pay him another max

  11. PrimaryAccording9162

    Phoenix lost by 25 in honor of Mikal

  12. Getting blown out in a home elimination game in consecutive years is crazy

  13. Defences

    This game is a 50+ fucking point blowout if Cameron Payne doesn’t get hot from 3 💀

  14. EvilDave219

    You know the writers strike has TV in dire straights when even the NBA has to air re-runs of games from last year.

  15. Veritas28

    This was the most entertaining blowout I’ve seen since last year’s Suns blowout

  16. SheetAcrobat

    JUST IN: A new poll says 93% of Arizona residents support a immigration ban from Europe

  17. MiaCannons

    It’s the same story every single year. I’m not even a Suns fan and I’m sick of it. When the hell are the Suns going to get Cam Payne some help?

  18. smoltanboi

    chris paul with a vintage performance this postseason: flopping, whining, getting hurt, and not winning a ring again

  19. Koppite93

    Chris Paul bout to be fire on TNT 20 years from now.. with Draymond n his Rings Er’nuh

  20. Fate_Unseen

    Average NBA fan after finally watching Jokic eat the Suns:

    “Wait, you mean those stats actually did mean something?” 😳

  21. masterfain

    Don’t let the score fool you, it wasn’t that close.

  22. Cinnabonz

    Hard to see the Nuggets losing 4 games to anyone at this rate.

  23. SolarClipz

    Ain’t no way this happened two years in a row lmaooo

  24. baldmamba24

    So what’s the custody situation like? Jokic or Luka on the weekends?

  25. May 15, 2022: Phoenix trailed by 30 at the half facing elimination against Dallas

    May 11, 2023: Phoenix trailed by 30 at the half facing elimination against Denver

  26. MordredKLB

    So do Suns fans get a new apology this year or will they just RT the one from last year?

  27. landlion35

    I can’t believe some sun fans thought they would be better without Ayton.

  28. snowcold0

    I just wish Chris Paul played to hit a huge 3 to cut the lead to 42

  29. OlliverClozoff

    Give us the Lakers. I want the smoke.

  30. Daltonwilcoxx

    if you told me before the game that cam payne was gonna have 31 and go 7-9 from 3 i would hsve thought it was the nuggets getting blown out lol

  31. OptimusGrime707

    Cam Payne can’t win a championship with those cats

  32. OverusedRedditJoke

    Biyombo was a -27 in 8 minutes

    Landale was a +7 in 30, despite the team losing by 25

    Not really sure what any of that means, but it’s something
