Suns traded away their entire future for this
Post game thread could have went up an hour and a half ago
KD turns to Perry Jones with a shoe deal when it’s time to win without the greatest team ever
What an absolute beat down. Total domination from a squad that performed like a championship caliber team. The title is Denver’s to lose.
I really watched a sloppy fat white European man blow out the Phoenix Sons two years in a row
Didn’t expect Cam Payne to carry KD and Booker tonight.
This game was nowhere near as close as the score shows.
Well at least the Suns won the second half by 5 lmao
Mortgage your future, your kids future, and your grandkids future for Kevin Durant.
Best I can offer you is a second round playoff exit.
As we all thought, Ayton was holding the Suns together. They should pay him another max
Phoenix lost by 25 in honor of Mikal
Getting blown out in a home elimination game in consecutive years is crazy
Big Honey, you are greatness. You are him.
This game is a 50+ fucking point blowout if Cameron Payne doesn’t get hot from 3 💀
You know the writers strike has TV in dire straights when even the NBA has to air re-runs of games from last year.
This was the most entertaining blowout I’ve seen since last year’s Suns blowout
JUST IN: A new poll says 93% of Arizona residents support a immigration ban from Europe
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?
chris paul with a vintage performance this postseason: flopping, whining, getting hurt, and not winning a ring again
Chris Paul bout to be fire on TNT 20 years from now.. with Draymond n his Rings Er’nuh
Average NBA fan after finally watching Jokic eat the Suns:
“Wait, you mean those stats actually did mean something?” 😳
https://imgur.com/a/eqixUf5
Don’t let the score fool you, it wasn’t that close.
Suns were favored in this game lmao
Hard to see the Nuggets losing 4 games to anyone at this rate.
Ain’t no way this happened two years in a row lmaooo
So what’s the custody situation like? Jokic or Luka on the weekends?
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
So do Suns fans get a new apology this year or will they just RT the one from last year?
I can’t believe some sun fans thought they would be better without Ayton.
I just wish Chris Paul played to hit a huge 3 to cut the lead to 42
Give us the Lakers. I want the smoke.
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
Jokic is the best player in the NBA
Well. That was fun.
Cam Payne can’t win a championship with those cats
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
Remember bones hyland? Lmao
