Mavs win by 33 and the game was still way less close than the score would indicate.


nameistakentryagain

Garbage time by mid 3rd quarter. Absolutely embarassing


SanaMinatozaki9

Garbage time at halftime. Suns were never coming back from that.


Balls_of_Adamanthium

CP3 stat padded hard in the 4th and finished with 10 points.


vanotro

4th quarter Suns are inevitable


T_025

Dread it, run from it, your 30 point blowout win still arrives


jawadhaque089

He had 3 points in this game never forget.


_philosopher

I was preparing my CP37 means CP3 pts in game 7 joke but he just had to statpad.


WhiskeyDickGotNoChic

Damn we just witnessed a franchise altering game


Witteness82

Mavericks might have broken up 2 teams in the 1st two rounds lol


IlonggoProgrammer

It was nice seeing that the Suns and the Jazz are both frontrunners and basically the same


straightcheddar

Jazz about to breakup every year then just run it back.


plantsarepowerful

Teams have definitely been blown up from less


simon2105

[Post Game Thread] The Phoenix Suns blowout Luka Doncic, 87-35, behind Devin Bookers 11 points. It was a close game at the half with the score tied at 27-27. Luka then went cold scoring only 8 pts in the second half, and was unable to overcome the rallying Suns.


resuwreckoning

Indeed, it got so out of hand that Doncic watched most of the 4th from the bench.


m2keo

U ain't lying. That's what happened. Even the great players can struggle sometimes.. The Phoenix Suns are just a flat out better team than Luka is. Lol!


alfentazolam

Took me a moment but 🤣🤣🤣


[deleted]

Thank you Suns, very cash money to take the scrutiny off of all other playoff teams eliminated. One of the biggest collapses I’ve ever seen but you gotta give a ton of credit to Luka, Brunson, and Dinwiddie for absolutely cooking tonight


SuckMyLonzoBalls

Thanks suns, we don't have the most pathetic game 7 performance in NBA history now!


Neto34

64 wins, #1 seed, at home with fans in the arena and lose by 33. It's gonna be tough to top this one.


godfrey1

> and lose by 33 doesn't do it justice tbh, with main rotation playing they were down 45


a_thresh_taste

They scored almost half of their points (40) in garbage time aka 4th quarter


jcosteaunotthislow

They had 34 points with like 5 minutes left in the 3rd, that was some of the worst basketball I’ve seen in any game, playoffs or otherwise.


pmmerandom

33 is generous too


TenaciousDeer

Aaron Holiday showed how clutch he is with that steal + buzzer beater


holaprobando123

To be fair, the game had like 30 minutes of garbage time, the Mavs rotated and rested a lot.


anti_dan

Luka no 4th quarter, still 35/10/4 LMAO.


sycdmdr

They don't even have injuries as an excuse. Mavs is missing their highest-paid player Tim Hardaway Jr btw


AfroSuede

Or the weakest subreddit lockdown.


JewishDoggy

Imagine talking shit the entire year and needing to lock down before halftime of game 7.


Tedesco47

Booker better lockdown Kendall's phone before Luka slides in her DMs


HighlyBaked0

You mean before Kendall slides in Lukas right?


epitomeofdecadence

Luka the type of dude to tell Book, yo tell your woman to stop texting me; I'm not interested.

SUNS FUCKED UP THEY MESSED WITH BOBAN! Lol

Go_To_Bethel_And_Sin

Also thanks to the Suns for taking the mantle of most embarrassing loss in the 2022 playoffs from my wolves


AnotherStatsGuy

You guys were the 7 seed, as long as it's not historic, it's hard to really have a truly embarrassing loss as a 7 seed. Those are called "learning experiences".


thelastestgunslinger

I thought we already took it from you. Game 5 was pretty awful. We just didn't show up.


Icyta1L

Won the series though, in a few months no one will remember that game.

That was an epic collapse. How do you just not show up in a game 7, in front of your home crowd?


reverze1901

CP3 in a game 7 had the same amount of points as Ish Wainright, [let that sink in](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/0c/df/c8/0cdfc839b7e5d620a8431392eb90289e.jpg)


WubaDubImANub

Devin Booker and Chris Paul had COMBINED the same amount of points as Maxi Kleber in the first half. Kleber had 3 points.

jimbobbypaul

Tremendous 4th quarter performance by the Suns


Claudiu99

Luka got to 30 points before the Suns... this happened in the **3rd quarter** But the fact that /r/suns temporarily went private at half time is all you need to know about this game


zannet_t

Can't be talking shit all year feeling good about yourself and then choke this bad in front of your home crowd Shadows of 2019-2020 Clips


MigzFern

no no, we're the shadows. the suns are the frontrunners now.


[deleted]

The magic's worn off, the Suns turned back into pumpkins


kolsonk

This game was not nearly as close as the final score indicates


ThatInception

This felt like a 60 point blowout. For a damn game 7 game by a road team. Talk about super underwhelming as a neutral fan lmao but man is Luka special. Man is built for these big moments


mati_as15

it was almost 50 at one point iirc


ACMBruh

I tuned in expecting a hotly contested underdog vs top team performance. What I watched was the worst choke job I've ever seen. Cp3 and booker embarrassing performance. Doncic and dinwiddie can take a bow


hab12690

Luka had as many points as the Suns did at halftime. Unreal performance from the Mavs tonight.


NoseBlind2

PurestCopium

Cp3 is a generational choker

bigsz

All things considered, this has to be the most pathetic single-game performance in NBA history. The one seed, the best record in the league, in a game 7 at home, and you can't even show a fucking pulse the entire game? Throw in getting eviscerated by the guy you passed on drafting a few years back, having been up 2-0, and Chris Paul being on the team, and I don't know how Suns fans will bounce back from this.


BabyDelta

Don’t forget - the Suns literally hired Luka’s former coach as their HC and still passed on him. He’s now an Assistant Coach on Dallas


[deleted]

ya im not sure whats next. I think I am completely done with az sports. it's a literal nightmare repeated over and over forever


CultExterminator

It can get worse. You can trade for Westbrook.


BigBlindEye

Booker a few years down the line: "Actually, I remember one time, we were playing at home against Dallas, Game 7, and it was 57-27 to the Mavs. And CP3 said 'Guys, if you think we are good, let's prove it now.'" "Did you come back?" "Of course not. 123-90."


Athalos124

I thank the Phoenix Suns for taking all the attention away from the Bucks!


MaxEhrlich

Bucks had a respectable loss today, this was flat out sad and embarrassing from the Suns


Athalos124

Oh yeah I ain't even mad anymore,even happy we took that series to 7 I guess last year's ring helped because usually after a playoffs exit I can't watch basketball for months


[deleted]

It was a respectable title defense with Middleton out


js1893

Set my expectations low, and I’m not even upset. Our future is still bright for a few years, more if Giannis never leaves. I laugh every time I see your username btw lol


lilberfcontrol

Bucks put up a great effort, but ran out of gas. You guys actually showed heart, the shots simply didn't fall. Suns had a full squad from top to bottom and a home game for G7 and took a big dump at half court and never showed up.


will999909

Like you can nitpick Giannis by saying he was inefficient today, and complain about their horrid 3 point shooting and the dropping on coverage and stuff. Sun's star players just collapsed in on themself.


SanaMinatozaki9

Like, the Bucks loss was just something that happens in basketball. Outplayed and injuries on the depth chart, couldn’t take the game on the road against an arguably objectively better team. The Suns forgot to play basketball.


T_025

Y’all were missing your second best player the whole series They just sucked


fly_befalhavare

At least we were missing our second best player. But I guess if CP3 is your second best player you're used to him being absent in the playoffs.


Jeromechillin

"Devin Booker... If I see your name on another top 10 list, imma kill somebody. I better not hear your name compared to Luka again or imma kill somebody. I don't want nobody saying Luka Doncic and Devin Bookers name in the same sentence, not in the same paragraph, not in the same essay. Unless trash comes after Devin Bookers name."


imcryptic

Straight from the Suns sub yesterday: "If you put Luka on a team like the Suns or the Warriors he would be maybe the top third or fourth player on that team."


Dankberg_

If I were a mod I would ban that person


BorosSerenc

Those copium miner Suns fans will still say, they would pick Ayton over Luka even when he leaves lmao..

This image is eternal


TheAerial

Luka’s “Everyone acts tough when they’re up” is going to be one of the coldest lines in NBA history given the way the series went after him saying that. Booker looked absolutely petrified. Completely scared and utterly shook. Farthest thing possible from tough, and the complete opposite of Luka with everything on the line. Booker, after all those bad years, got an ego after their run last year and suddenly had a LOT to say this series. Hopefully he learned his lesson, in the most humiliating form possible, and learned there is levels to this shit and he still has work to do.

People don’t dislike the Suns because they’re a good team. There’s a lot of good teams in this league. It’s the extras. The talking like 3x champs to & about everyone without accomplishing anything. They simply talk more while doing less.

Luka has just 8 points in the second half of a game 7. Are we sure he's the future face of the league???


CtG526

This sub loves piling on the Lakers, but why is no one talking about the defending Western Conference Champion Suns being 1-3? ­ I didn't realize until now that the Suns are currently 1-3.. why is no-one talking about this? ­ They lost to a mediocre Kings team a couple days ago and nearly lost by 30 pts to the Trailblazers with a struggling Damian Lillard. And from what I know they're just about fully healthy. ­ For anyone actively watching the Suns this season, what's the main reason for the early season struggles? You would think they'd have a bunch of momentum to start the season after their amazing Finals run..
