Great observation. He leads when playing well and elevates everyone's game, but he also leads when he's not playing well. And instead of other guys elevating their game to carry Chris they all just lie down and get kicked. Mikal Bridges exploded one game going for 30 points, I was like where has that been? Why don't we see other guys pick it up and play well when someone else is down? Very disappointed in my Suns in that Mavs series.

As a Suns Fan, this video actually made me feel better about what happened, the logic and context you added was great at helping understand exactly what happened.
This PHX Suns has got to be on the list of the craziest choke moments in the NBA, TWICE. Imagine winning the first two games of the NBA Finals only to lose the next four and losing the NBA Title. Then coming to the next season, being the best team out of everyone, only to choke in the most important game of their season yet, in just the halftime.
This game is even more insane than you think. There have only been 2 game 7s where the away team outscored the home team by at least 30 points. The worst blowout was all the way back in 1948 with the Philideplhia Warriors against the St. Louis Bombers. Dallas-Phoniex is the worst blowout by a home team in game 7 in the modern era. Edit: Forgot to say that the home team had to be a top 2 seed in the conference.
The whole suns team was shook in game 7. And D book was asking for that spanking after mocking Luka. He talked the talk, but damn, he couldn't walk the walk
@@Eligenix Nah. Alot had to go right for that 3-1 comeback to happen for LeBron. Him bitching to the media to suspend a guy for a play that wasnt even called as a flagrant during the game (ive literally never seen that happen before). In addition to that, Steph was already hurt from the Portland series (anyone who disagrees is pure stupid lol. No way freakin KEVIN LOVE could guard a healthy Steph 1-1 in the finals come on use common sense). Also Bogut going down hurt way more than people mention as Bron and Kyrie had a clear path to the goal without Drey and Bogut With Dirk, they simply made fun of him, then the Mavs proceeded to EVISCERATE the Heat. No refs. No injuries. No shady suspension The Mavs just came out and BUST THAT ASS With all the nonsense of GS v Cle, GS still almost won whereas Dirk and crew sent the Heat home in 6 Totally different scenarios
Chris Paul is a great player, a HOF player that just can't get it done when it matters the most. As much as it bothers us as fans it's got to be terrible year after year for him.
yeah I used to think he was clearly above that Stockton, Kidd, Nash tier but at this point in time even though he's statistically superior he's probably around that range
Lol. He is just overated. Point God?Top 75? HOF?Wtf rondo,parker,kidd,jrue holiday much better than him during playoffs. Even an average point guard show up during playoffs like mario Chalmers,george hill,Isaiah thomas(before hip injury)many more. Even in his prime he didn't really show up when his team need him the most. He is a leader (most of his team).He should awake his teammates,score when needed.not the cause of their downfall.
Then the Pillsbury EuroBoy gets hhis chubby ass swept the next round. IKNEW he'd get heated and find a way to beat them Suns somehow, then do nothing and go home himself. 😂😂🤣

I found this video on my recommendation and I'm really impressed because this is actually a well thought video, not just a rant or trashtalking. Good job bro
it’s just funny cuz this suns team did all that shit talking ... and for what ?? you can get past a crippled lakers, nuggets, and clippers team last season, you can win 64 games this season- but if you can’t can’t translate that into the playoffs against healthier competition, then it doesn’t matter. it’s kinda like what draymond said: “there are 82-game players, then there are 16-game players”.
@Joshua Munn Fraud team? They was in the Finals last year, and just got defeated in 7 just like the Bucks at the same time. Both Giannis and Book and CP didn't shjow up in GM 7. Just like the Heat went to the Finals one year and the next bowed out in the second round too. They all frauds too? There are fans that know and watch basketball, and there are people that just like to watch TH-cam. ehh🙄
You’re actually giving him wild respect for even going this deep. Chris Paul story is one we’ve seen too much - injury prone made of glass. Your durability is the most important silent stat
As a Suns fan it's so sad man because we KNOW we fumbled, we know we're done. After last season finals and those 64 wins I was still hoping he was gonna finally make it and win a ring, but this playoffs he just proved to me he will NOT win a damn ring no matter what. I truly lost all hope. I mean even if we win 70 next season I'm still not fcking buying it. I'm convinced this team as it is right now ain't winning it
@Adam ok he’s your “point god” tho and a top 2 point guard according to y’all 😂😂😂 hes can carry this no problem right?? Point fraud 😂 top 20 pg and I’m being nice
@@ebzs1429 I was pulling hard for the Suns but I'll admit that I have always been skeptical of CP3. He just does not have what it takes to win a championship. It's really as simple as that. I know that Steve Nash and John Stockton never won a ring either but I would take both of them over CP3 in regards to all-time point guards. Some players have the heart of a champion and CP3 reverted to Cliff Paul those final five games apparently...
@@ebzs1429 nobody calls him a top 2 PG unless you're saying people said he is currently. Also, as a man who could give less of a fuck about the guy, there aren't 20 legit (nor 10, really, but I'm open to see them) PGs better than Chris Paul.
We nearly had a 50 point blowout In a game 7. A whole quarter of garbage time. The only reason it got into the 30's was because all the stars were gone and the mavs bench didn't care about scoring. If they did it would have been disrespectful to go hard on a game you already won. It's crazy that It could have been even worse for Phoenix. A LOT WORSE LOL.
If CP really injured, the Suns will definitely announce and list him as "questionable" or something like that even only for strategic purposes. So it may mess up Mavs game plan a little, and able to pre-set the excuse if they eventually lost as they did. My point is, if CP really hurt, there's no reason in hell the team would cover up. Now your sorry asses lost and all of the sudden you were injured all along? Cut this fake injuries shit like Booker rolling on the floor like in real pain. Take the lost like a real man dude!
There's plenty of reason to not list of player as not injured. Mainly being that your ENEMY will know and exploit that weakness. These teams are trying to win at all cost and giving them something to take is a guaranteed way to loose it. I'm not defending the suns I'm just saying there's reasons to not list a player as injured
Dude every single time CP3 gets bounced he uses the injury excuse immediately after. Nobody cares when you lie about playing injured of you keep losing in the playoffs and refuse to admit you were straight trash
"3 years ago I called CP3 the most Underachieving point guard. Since then he's given me more to talk about" I'm rolling bruh I never want to hear anyone compare Booker to Kobe ever again. Man scored 70 against a losing team in the regular season a few years ago and everyone has been riding his D too hard since then.
@@discowolf25 I mean at that time he had the skill set and talent but he didn’t have the right team built around him when he had that streak in the bubble we started praising him and thinking he was gonna shine in the playoffs in the future. The thing was when CP3 joined him and turned them to a championship contender he started acting cocky like he did something before CP3 was on the team
As a Suns fan who used to live in Phoenix, this collapse is the worst I could imagine. It's worse than losing in 92-93 with Barkley's Suns. I didn't bet money, but if you had told me the Suns wouldn't be in the Finals, I would have never believed you. I think they have to let Ayton walk, or do a sign and trade, let CP3 go as well. It's basically a rebuild. Feel bad for Booker, but I don't see any other options. If Ayton was the player the suns needed, they would have beaten Milwaukee last year but he's a non-factor on defense. It's just hard for me to believe that they didn't have the right pieces in place.
It's funny. I cheered for the Suns (2017-2022). They were one of the most enjoyable teams to watch 2019-20 along with Dallas for me... But this had to happen. They got cocky without winning. Not to mention, the players and their fans complain about flopping or physical play when they are one of the biggest flopping teams.
Honestly I might have a point like we all said maybe the pelicans were better than we thought but how can a 60 plus team win struggle with a play in team.
It’s really crazy to think that if zion played, there is a real and solid chance NOLA would’ve won. They were missing their best player and pushed them to 6.. zion is worth at least 1 game and if it’s game 7, as we can see, anything is possible
It's crazy for Chris Paul , last year they had their best chance they played Denver and both LA teams which were injured and had a 2-0 lead against Milwaukee and still didn't win the chip... That's rough man
@@vividsid94 what are you talking about ? People on social media and TH-cam were literally clowning the clippers lmfao. The fact people don’t mention how the suns were literally the 2-0 in the NBA finals and had a chance to close out the series is ridiculous
In a sport where most everyone is at least 6'5 being 7' isnt the most important part. Especially not in current basketball, with all the outside shooting. That has been shown time and again. 7 inches in height (which dont always translate to wingspan) dont make up for less agility, less basketball IQ, less smart positioning, worse predicting where the ball falls in a rebound situation. All that being said, usually you dont want to be No1 Draft pick, because if you are great, nobody is surprised, and when you aint, everyone thinks you're a bust especially with a No3 pick like Luka / Trae. But we should all sit back and relax. Ayton is young, he still has potential to grow as a role player and it would probably be good for him to join another team where he gets coached and utilised differently.
Don't forget Luka's teammates were stepping up as well, you can't really say it was all him that beat the Suns otherwise the Mavs would have lost if Luka's teammates didn't preform as well as he did.
"Turnover expecting a Westbrook foul" this is what i dont like with CP3(and now he got the whole Sons on doing it) and a lot of times it backfired at him. TOO MUCH CRAFTINESS(for calls) instead of playing straight up basketball.
Exactly! He's always trying to manipulate the refs, & get cheap fouls, always flopping or getting in somebody's way, unless he drops the BS & focuses on just playing winning ball he win never win a ring, & I think it's too late now, this was his last & best chance
@Adam ok this shit got nothing to do with Luka, & Luka is young Chris Paul is not, his window is closing Lukas is open. Chris is a bigger flopper than Luka, neither of them play good defense
Monty Williams is the Coach of the Regular Season but when it comes to playoffs, his inexperience kicks in since they also let the 8th seed get two wins on them
Agree bro that series should've be a box office game and a hype one but Luka & the Mavs was on a mission tho and next Szn is gonna be the toughest for the West with the return of Jamal Murray to help out The Joker, the Wolves might run it back, the Pelicans are gonna be the dark horse plus Zion and the Clippers are going to be a problem with Kawhi coming back and the free agency man like Sheesh
It's harder for Ayton to get rebounds/block shots when he's switching and having to guard the perimeter. I don't understand this strategy. He is basically useless guarding guys like Luka on the perimeter and then you don't have a rim protector
Yeah its bad scheme to take away your best interior defender from the paint. Thats why hedging and extra help defense are so effective because it makes it harder for the offense to create big gaps or wide open shots.
@@geordiejones5618 that’s such a bad take cause if I’m not mistaken people said that if porzingis is healthy the mavs win and they didn’t, luka hasn’t gotten tremendously better either, they just beat 2 frauds that’s it
Same like 2015/16 Warriors, going all in in the regular season and all that will lead to fatigue in the playoffs If Warriors didn’t go 110% getting 73-9, they would’ve won the NBA finals
@@CMXR if Zion isn’t motivated to stop eating twinkies by the prospect of earning 250 million and becoming an NBA legend, then there’s probably no hope for him. He needs to get under 450 pounds before Ja even has to think about playing him.
While the nets were getting swept I thought they were the most overly confident team by how none of them seemed to care they were losing every game. But then how the suns handled being up and underestimating their opponent so much that when asked how he's gonna prepare for game 7 crowder says he's gonna get a pedicure. Ya these guys aren't gonna be back, they're gonna underestimate everyone
Which one exactly? Harden was a terrible leader, won't ignore that fact, but in terms of individual play he was pretty solid. Harden took a bit too much of the blame that season. Mike D'Antoni is TERRIBLE coach and deserves more blame than he gets.
@@kaylenirbyjr5786 I can see that. Regardless of numbers, there is no reason for them to miss so many three's in the 2nd half. They could have won with adjustments. But GS won. Props to tell for that win btw.
I believe Ayton is still decent he was just never going to reach his full potential on the Suns. They had Booker already as their #1 and I doubt they planned on playing through him a lot through the post and they don't seem to want him to shoot outside of the paint for some reason. For example he's 12 of 35 from 3 (34%) from his lone season in college, in the NBA he's 14 of 56 from 3 (25%) in 4 seasons in the NBA. He's not really going to improve as a shooter if you don't allow him to shoot and yes there's potential since he shoots 75% from the line for his career.
Less than 5 minutes in smashed that sub button new to channel first video. Finding someone who has a GOOD take when it comes to NBA rare breed this days you are speaking FACTS. Keep up the content bro i'm about to binge your channel this was like a breathe of fresh air
The thing that I think is interesting is that since 2000 4 teams have one multiple championships Lakers (5), Spurs (3), Heat (3), Warriors (3). The Pistons, Celtics, Mavs, Cavs, Raptors and Bucks have all won it once. We need to acknowledge that the Lakers and Heat multiple wins are from different "eras". But I think the real question is why do some players just never make it or only make it once. Is it them? Is it team construction? If I look at active players right now that are All Stars and have not won (and in some cases not come close) it would include Harden, Lillard, Carmelo, and (as of this writing) Butler. One of those players (Harden) is even worse at the prime time games than Chris Paul. So maybe it is a combination of things related to the person and the teams they are particularly how the team is constructed.
I think it's ultimately 50-50 or somewhere around there. Dame is almost case and point for roster construction, though. He performed when he called upon, but the team around him has folded in dramatic fashion. CP3 and Harden are almost case and point the opposite. They'll fold and have the team around them fold as a result. Jimmy Butler is in a more nuanced position though. He has folded and seen the team pick him up, but he's also just seen the team around him fold.
Sometimes cp3 slowing the game down might not be good for the suns. Got to play fast to unsettle the mavs defence. Just look at GSW. Also we need more scorers. Booker alone is no enough
100% Love him or hate him, LeBron knows how win, and he doesn't run his mouth. Same with Tom Brady. You know they both have pride, but they don't give anyone any edges.
What's wild is in the last 4 games of the Dallas series the efficiency was still there. He combined for 18/36 (50%fg) so it's not like he was missing an unusual amount or they had him locked up. He just didn't shoot as much in those games.
Chris paul had a left quad injury and looking back at the film i believe it. They say he wanted to keep it under wraps. This was his best chance sad to see his team lose in that fashion.
gif he was injured, why was he playing in the 4th quarter while down 40? You do not play if you're injured down 40 in the 4th regardless of if its a game 7 or no

The worst blowout was all the way back in 1948 with the Philideplhia Warriors against the St. Louis Bombers. Dallas-Phoniex is the worst blowout by a home team in game 7 in the modern era.
Edit: Forgot to say that the home team had to be a top 2 seed in the conference.

If that guy didn't cheap steal that ball from Boban in the last seconds and made a 3 point shot... would've been a record.
2 years later and this title is still TRUE! 😂😂
The whole suns team was shook in game 7.
And D book was asking for that spanking after mocking Luka. He talked the talk, but damn, he couldn't walk the walk
after seeing what happened to the suns after dbook said luka special, it reminds me of when the bron and dwade mocked dirk and lost the series
Or the moment when Klay mocked Lebron and then blew a 3-1 lead. Both legendary moments for sure
@@Eligenix Nah. Alot had to go right for that 3-1 comeback to happen for LeBron. Him bitching to the media to suspend a guy for a play that wasnt even called as a flagrant during the game (ive literally never seen that happen before).
In addition to that, Steph was already hurt from the Portland series (anyone who disagrees is pure stupid lol. No way freakin KEVIN LOVE could guard a healthy Steph 1-1 in the finals come on use common sense).
Also Bogut going down hurt way more than people mention as Bron and Kyrie had a clear path to the goal without Drey and Bogut
With Dirk, they simply made fun of him, then the Mavs proceeded to EVISCERATE the Heat.
No refs.
No injuries.
No shady suspension
The Mavs just came out and BUST THAT ASS
With all the nonsense of GS v Cle, GS still almost won whereas Dirk and crew sent the Heat home in 6
Totally different scenarios

yeah I used to think he was clearly above that Stockton, Kidd, Nash tier but at this point in time even though he's statistically superior he's probably around that range

Even an average point guard show up during playoffs like mario Chalmers,george hill,Isaiah thomas(before hip injury)many more. Even in his prime he didn't really show up when his team need him the most. He is a leader (most of his team).He should awake his teammates,score when needed.not the cause of their downfall.

I found this video on my recommendation and I'm really impressed because this is actually a well thought video, not just a rant or trashtalking. Good job bro
That was an OUTSTANDING breakdown.
it’s just funny cuz this suns team did all that shit talking ... and for what ?? you can get past a crippled lakers, nuggets, and clippers team last season, you can win 64 games this season- but if you can’t can’t translate that into the playoffs against healthier competition, then it doesn’t matter. it’s kinda like what draymond said: “there are 82-game players, then there are 16-game players”.
@Joshua Munn Fraud team? They was in the Finals last year, and just got defeated in 7 just like the Bucks at the same time. Both Giannis and Book and CP didn't shjow up in GM 7. Just like the Heat went to the Finals one year and the next bowed out in the second round too. They all frauds too? There are fans that know and watch basketball, and there are people that just like to watch TH-cam. ehh🙄
And which one of those categories does Lillard fall in?
CP3 scored a combined 47 points in the first two games against Dallas. And then he scored a combined 47 points in the last FIVE games against Dallas.
Doncic just showed what disrespect returns.
It’s easy to act tough when your 3-2 up.
You’re actually giving him wild respect for even going this deep. Chris Paul story is one we’ve seen too much - injury prone made of glass. Your durability is the most important silent stat
As a Suns fan it's so sad man because we KNOW we fumbled, we know we're done. After last season finals and those 64 wins I was still hoping he was gonna finally make it and win a ring, but this playoffs he just proved to me he will NOT win a damn ring no matter what. I truly lost all hope. I mean even if we win 70 next season I'm still not fcking buying it. I'm convinced this team as it is right now ain't winning it
Its also that he's getting paid $30mil to not step up in the Playoffs
@Adam ok he’s your “point god” tho and a top 2 point guard according to y’all 😂😂😂 hes can carry this no problem right?? Point fraud 😂 top 20 pg and I’m being nice
@@ebzs1429 I was pulling hard for the Suns but I'll admit that I have always been skeptical of CP3. He just does not have what it takes to win a championship. It's really as simple as that. I know that Steve Nash and John Stockton never won a ring either but I would take both of them over CP3 in regards to all-time point guards. Some players have the heart of a champion and CP3 reverted to Cliff Paul those final five games apparently...
Both booker and CP3 looked like benchwarmers, the fact that the Sun's started the 3rd quarter with 27 points is beyond embarrassing.
@@ebzs1429 nobody calls him a top 2 PG unless you're saying people said he is currently. Also, as a man who could give less of a fuck about the guy, there aren't 20 legit (nor 10, really, but I'm open to see them) PGs better than Chris Paul.
It’s time to call CP3 what he is: a choker. He doesn’t play bad but when you need him most it’s like he’s not even there, literally or figuratively.
I agree
I agree and now there are reports coming out that he was injury really I feel like we heard this before 🤷
The Choke God. 😂
Somehow he gets this “injured” excuse every time. Game 7 they’re really saying there was an injury lol
CP3 gets all the excuses dude, his fans always be like “Yes I know he hasn’t done shit in the postseason, but look at his advanced stats!”
We nearly had a 50 point blowout In a game 7. A whole quarter of garbage time. The only reason it got into the 30's was because all the stars were gone and the mavs bench didn't care about scoring. If they did it would have been disrespectful to go hard on a game you already won. It's crazy that It could have been even worse for Phoenix. A LOT WORSE LOL.
If CP really injured, the Suns will definitely announce and list him as "questionable" or something like that even only for strategic purposes. So it may mess up Mavs game plan a little, and able to pre-set the excuse if they eventually lost as they did. My point is, if CP really hurt, there's no reason in hell the team would cover up. Now your sorry asses lost and all of the sudden you were injured all along? Cut this fake injuries shit like Booker rolling on the floor like in real pain. Take the lost like a real man dude!
There's plenty of reason to not list of player as not injured. Mainly being that your ENEMY will know and exploit that weakness. These teams are trying to win at all cost and giving them something to take is a guaranteed way to loose it. I'm not defending the suns I'm just saying there's reasons to not list a player as injured
@@johnmedina7083 exactly. It's the same reason Lebron didn't say shit in 2018 until the Finals was done.
Dude every single time CP3 gets bounced he uses the injury excuse immediately after. Nobody cares when you lie about playing injured of you keep losing in the playoffs and refuse to admit you were straight trash
Uh the team literally covered up cp3 and booker injuries in the finals.
So what makes the round 2 different
Every time he fails to show up he magically has an injury. Dude is a fraud, people just feel sorry for him bc he’s short

@@discowolf25 I mean at that time he had the skill set and talent but he didn’t have the right team built around him when he had that streak in the bubble we started praising him and thinking he was gonna shine in the playoffs in the future.

As a Suns fan who used to live in Phoenix, this collapse is the worst I could imagine. It's worse than losing in 92-93 with Barkley's Suns. I didn't bet money, but if you had told me the Suns wouldn't be in the Finals, I would have never believed you. I think they have to let Ayton walk, or do a sign and trade, let CP3 go as well. It's basically a rebuild. Feel bad for Booker, but I don't see any other options. If Ayton was the player the suns needed, they would have beaten Milwaukee last year but he's a non-factor on defense. It's just hard for me to believe that they didn't have the right pieces in place.
It's funny. I cheered for the Suns (2017-2022). They were one of the most enjoyable teams to watch 2019-20 along with Dallas for me... But this had to happen. They got cocky without winning. Not to mention, the players and their fans complain about flopping or physical play when they are one of the biggest flopping teams.
booker os the culprit for that
Ur right CP3 is the biggest flopper in the league tbh
CP3, Booker, Crowder are all on Marcus Smart's level when it comes to flopping
When we saw the pelicans push them to the limit that’s when we should’ve known
Honestly I might have a point like we all said maybe the pelicans were better than we thought but how can a 60 plus team win struggle with a play in team.
@@L8_Mozez Nola had nothing to lose and they was extra motivation
It’s really crazy to think that if zion played, there is a real and solid chance NOLA would’ve won. They were missing their best player and pushed them to 6.. zion is worth at least 1 game and if it’s game 7, as we can see, anything is possible
Booker didn’t play half that series. Not really the same.
Overtalented/underachieving Pelicans vs. injured Suns, fantastic!
@Swishout, you're actually my favourite NBA channel and it isn't even close. Big props from the UK
It's crazy for Chris Paul , last year they had their best chance they played Denver and both LA teams which were injured and had a 2-0 lead against Milwaukee and still didn't win the chip... That's rough man

Both teams shut down their reddit in response lol
Blowing a 2-0 lead in back to back postseasons while being maybe the best team in the NBA during that two year stretch is just a terrible look.
The Clippers literally got zero slander for blowing a 3-1 lead.
@@vividsid94 what are you talking about ? People on social media and TH-cam were literally clowning the clippers lmfao. The fact people don’t mention how the suns were literally the 2-0 in the NBA finals and had a chance to close out the series is ridiculous
Not picking luka over ayton doomed this team
In a sport where most everyone is at least 6'5 being 7' isnt the most important part. Especially not in current basketball, with all the outside shooting. That has been shown time and again. 7 inches in height (which dont always translate to wingspan) dont make up for less agility, less basketball IQ, less smart positioning, worse predicting where the ball falls in a rebound situation. All that being said, usually you dont want to be No1 Draft pick, because if you are great, nobody is surprised, and when you aint, everyone thinks you're a bust especially with a No3 pick like Luka / Trae. But we should all sit back and relax. Ayton is young, he still has potential to grow as a role player and it would probably be good for him to join another team where he gets coached and utilised differently.
Don't forget Luka's teammates were stepping up as well, you can't really say it was all him that beat the Suns otherwise the Mavs would have lost if Luka's teammates didn't preform as well as he did.
"Turnover expecting a Westbrook foul"
this is what i dont like with CP3(and now he got the whole Sons on doing it) and a lot of times it backfired at him.
TOO MUCH CRAFTINESS(for calls) instead of playing straight up basketball.
Exactly! He's always trying to manipulate the refs, & get cheap fouls, always flopping or getting in somebody's way, unless he drops the BS & focuses on just playing winning ball he win never win a ring, & I think it's too late now, this was his last & best chance
@Adam ok this shit got nothing to do with Luka, & Luka is young Chris Paul is not, his window is closing Lukas is open. Chris is a bigger flopper than Luka, neither of them play good defense
Monty Williams is the Coach of the Regular Season but when it comes to playoffs, his inexperience kicks in since they also let the 8th seed get two wins on them
I'm not going to blame Monty like that, dude had a choker on his team like how Doc had harden who just fizzled out when it coubts
The "8th seed" hogged 35% of all the talent in the league.
Really wanted to see Suns vs Warriors. I’ll take Luka in a conference finals tho, can’t wait to see how god mode he goes tryna make the finals fr
Agree bro that series should've be a box office game and a hype one but Luka & the Mavs was on a mission tho and next Szn is gonna be the toughest for the West with the return of Jamal Murray to help out The Joker, the Wolves might run it back, the Pelicans are gonna be the dark horse plus Zion and the Clippers are going to be a problem with Kawhi coming back and the free agency man like Sheesh

It's harder for Ayton to get rebounds/block shots when he's switching and having to guard the perimeter. I don't understand this strategy. He is basically useless guarding guys like Luka on the perimeter and then you don't have a rim protector
Yeah its bad scheme to take away your best interior defender from the paint. Thats why hedging and extra help defense are so effective because it makes it harder for the offense to create big gaps or wide open shots.
Shitty coaching in my opinion
True! That's part of how they got out coached

While the nets were getting swept I thought they were the most overly confident team by how none of them seemed to care they were losing every game.

As a Suns fan this season was more disappointing than any I've ever experienced.
I believe Ayton is still decent he was just never going to reach his full potential on the Suns. They had Booker already as their #1 and I doubt they planned on playing through him a lot through the post and they don't seem to want him to shoot outside of the paint for some reason. For example he's 12 of 35 from 3 (34%) from his lone season in college, in the NBA he's 14 of 56 from 3 (25%) in 4 seasons in the NBA. He's not really going to improve as a shooter if you don't allow him to shoot and yes there's potential since he shoots 75% from the line for his career.
His problem is not being the number 1 guy. His problem is rebounding, offense aggressiveness and defense
Chris Paul makes average teams look good, but they always get exposed in the playoffs.
and Lillard doesn't?

Less than 5 minutes in smashed that sub button new to channel first video. Finding someone who has a GOOD take when it comes to NBA rare breed this days you are speaking FACTS. Keep up the content bro i'm about to binge your channel this was like a breathe of fresh air
The thing that I think is interesting is that since 2000 4 teams have one multiple championships Lakers (5), Spurs (3), Heat (3), Warriors (3). The Pistons, Celtics, Mavs, Cavs, Raptors and Bucks have all won it once. We need to acknowledge that the Lakers and Heat multiple wins are from different "eras".
But I think the real question is why do some players just never make it or only make it once. Is it them? Is it team construction? If I look at active players right now that are All Stars and have not won (and in some cases not come close) it would include Harden, Lillard, Carmelo, and (as of this writing) Butler.
One of those players (Harden) is even worse at the prime time games than Chris Paul. So maybe it is a combination of things related to the person and the teams they are particularly how the team is constructed.
I think it's ultimately 50-50 or somewhere around there. Dame is almost case and point for roster construction, though. He performed when he called upon, but the team around him has folded in dramatic fashion. CP3 and Harden are almost case and point the opposite. They'll fold and have the team around them fold as a result. Jimmy Butler is in a more nuanced position though. He has folded and seen the team pick him up, but he's also just seen the team around him fold.
Sometimes cp3 slowing the game down might not be good for the suns. Got to play fast to unsettle the mavs defence. Just look at GSW. Also we need more scorers. Booker alone is no enough
The Suns deserved this L.

Such a good take homie.
Being fronm Arizona and following sports is painful.
Chris Paul needs to shut his mouth during playoffs. He gives the opposition a reason to beat him.
100% Love him or hate him, LeBron knows how win, and he doesn't run his mouth. Same with Tom Brady. You know they both have pride, but they don't give anyone any edges.
As a Lakers fan we love to see this Suns & CP3 slander 🤣
Already know this finna be a banger. Christopher really fell apart after turning 37 lmaooo 😭🚬💨
"Game 4 Chris" got me rollin'
What's wild is in the last 4 games of the Dallas series the efficiency was still there. He combined for 18/36 (50%fg) so it's not like he was missing an unusual amount or they had him locked up. He just didn't shoot as much in those games.
maybe he didn't shoot as much cause the Mavs didn't let him get to his spot.
Chris paul had a left quad injury and looking back at the film i believe it. They say he wanted to keep it under wraps. This was his best chance sad to see his team lose in that fashion.
nahh hes just choker when we need him most + bad luck of injury , but this szn he just flat out choke
If you injured don’t play, simple as that. If you playing you don’t get injuries as an excuse
I stg this is the excuse every year with cp3. Didn’t he have a hand thing in the finals last year. Smh
gif he was injured, why was he playing in the 4th quarter while down 40? You do not play if you're injured down 40 in the 4th regardless of if its a game 7 or no
The excuses gonna come out now. But I actually believe it if cp3 was injured. He did not play like himself
