Twitter Reacts to Suns Meltdown Loss to the Mavericks in Game 7
The Phoenix Suns completely no-showed the biggest game of the season on Sunday. Facing elimination in Game 7 against the Dallas Mavericks, the defending Western Conference champions completely laid an egg. They lost 123-90 and trailed by as many as 46 on their home floor. It was one of the worst Game 7 showings in NBA history. As you'd expect, the Internet let the Suns have it for their performance. Or lack thereof.
Here's a look at the best tweets and memes discussion the Suns' meltdown. Most of the heat focused on Chris Paul and Devin Booker, and there was some serious praise for Luka Doncic. But it was mostly ripping Phoenix. Even airports started talking trash.
I have never been more wrong. I can’t believe how great the @dallasmavs look — and how pathetically awful the @Suns look. @CP3 & @DevinBooker31 have been no-shows. I can’t believe this

Can the Suns walk off the court and quit. This is horrific.

Suns in fourclosure.

The Suns really picked up their offense in the 3rd Quarter scoring 13 more points than the 2nd Quarter, and cutting the deficit to 42 points

I'm old enough to remember when the #Mavs trailed 0-2 against the #suns

Every Suns fan looks like they just contemplated their own mortality at 2am and can’t go back to sleep

Someone get the Suns a tee time at TPC Craig Ranch tomorrow so they can feel better about themselves ASAP

I don’t wanna hear this Chris Paul great leader shit ever again this team quit and it’s an embarrassment Booker cries and Luka took their souls

From NBA best 64 wins to total GM7 chumps. This Suns season is the ultimate microcosm of Chris Paul’s entire 17 year career. True excellence that ends with a wimpier.

Warriors will have home court against the Dallas Lukas. WCF should be great.
Chris Russo should have his Bob Cousy > Chris Paul take ready for Wednesday. @JimmyTraina

Chris Paul - five blown 2-0 leads. Point God is the Choke God
— Jim Rome (@jimrome) May 16, 2022
*whispers* the entire reason I'm watching the 4th quarter is to see if Chris Paul punches someone in the nuts

Chris Paul is the first player ever to blow five 2-0 leads in a best-of-7 series.
— StatMuse (@statmuse) May 16, 2022
2-0 vs Spurs in 2008
2-0 vs Grizzlies in 2013
2-0 vs Blazers in 2016
2-0 vs Bucks in 2021
2-0 vs Mavs in 2022
He is also the only player to blow four 2-0 leads. pic.twitter.com/Y6yXcKVT66
Yeah, I think it'll be a while until Paul, Booker and the Suns live this down.
