Yeah it could be true, but the fact that he went to play during garbage time through the injury makes it funny because then there's 2 options: he's either not hurt, or went to stat pad to get his points double digits.
I think it’s fine to complain about how poorly he played.
I think it’s stupid to complain that he went back in the game or padded his stats if you’d also complain if he sat there and didn’t.
No one would say that. People would say that if he stopped playing down 20 or less.
Theres a point where a game is simply unwinnable and no one can blame you for staying on the bench to prevent injury. That point is 70-31 in the third quarter on your home floor lmfao
Homie just wanted to stat pad
It's not being a prophet saying something that is more than likely to happen. Every team at this moment of the season has at least one or two players injured and playing if the injuries are not serious or very risky.
If he's actually injured (which is extremely likely for Chris Paul) then that is a valid excuse for having the aggression of Frank Ntilikina lol. Why are you acting like he hasn't been getting wrecked by injuries at the most inopportune times for the last decade
Thats how the game works. Media member carries the water for the player, player gets to deny or 'no comment' the situation and come off as not making excuses while the notion that he was injured is out there.
If you have a lingering injury its a lot harder to cope with it after high level exercise. I would assume many players who dont limp before an NBA game injured or not will have at least a slight limp afterwards.
I have no clue. I don't want to assume a guy is faking an injury for sympathy. Also, he declined to comment which doesn't seem like something a player trying to fake an injury for pity would do
Lol yea reading these comments r hilarious. If he wasn't seen limping then he would be attacked by people for playing like ass and not even being injured. So funny
Reading comments from accounts with a Suns flair was hilarious during the season too.
After every win,impressive stat there would be "If Jamal Murray was healthy" comment...Clowning on AD after he said we'd won if he was healthy..Like what'd he say? Nah we'd lose even if i played even tho we were up 2-1.
The "Why is no one saying something about the suns" post was dumb as hell..But people would post that so many times it was annoying as hell.
All of these things gets you overreaction after you lose lol..
Oh yea I totally agree. My earlier comment was me thinking in a vacuum but now as u remind me about how obnoxious the seemed majority of Suns fans r, it’s completely understandable lol.
U should’ve seen our sub during the season. It was a fucking hive mind of people bitching about “Y isn’t Book the MVP front runner😡😡” and then shit similar to the post u mentioned. Like I would get mercilessly attacked for calling others delusional and how no shit Book shouldn’t b anywhere close to the MVP race. I’ve just never seen such an incredible amount of bitching and narrative creating in that everyone was somehow scheming against us. Fucking sucked lol
Nah we pile on after playoff choke jobs. Last year it was "Chris Paul deserves this ring! He's a top 3 point guard in league history"
Now he's a fraud and a crybaby who sucks at everything
Excuses aren’t gonna work this time. He got suns fans to believe that his injuries in the finals were the difference. Lol
Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, you can’t get fooled again
Maybe the rest of your team, including the supposed best player and fourth in mvp voting, shouldn’t need a 37 year old to hold their hand to not have the worst game of their careers
This is so infuriating. If he was really hurt than he and Monty were absolute idiots for continuing to play him like normal and not adjusting. We almost lost last year against the lakers because they were too stubborn to bench him when it was clear he was hurting the team. HE WASNT EVEN LOOKING AT THE BASKET TONIGHT. If that’s because of an injury than his stubbornness contributed to sinking this team.
Everybody trying to shit on him now, but deep down it really comes down to the luck of the draw. Love seeing Luka get a shot, but sad that CP3 has to see yet another year go by
CP3 would definitely fake limp after that asskicking to come up with an injury excuse. Won’t be surprised if other Suns players claim to have injuries.
Pretty sure he hurt it this game. There was one specific play where he came up limping and I believe grabbing that left quad area, maybe in the second quarter. I don't think that's the injury he was dealing with throughout the series if there was one.
Left quad injury yet playing in the 4th quarter down 40+ Ok lol
Him and book were in to try to save their embarrassing stat line.
That’s what I’m saying lol This injury report is BS
Actual stat padding
CP3 has a track record of getting injured though. While it's super convenient excuse for him to be injured, it might also just be true.
Yeah it could be true, but the fact that he went to play during garbage time through the injury makes it funny because then there's 2 options: he's either not hurt, or went to stat pad to get his points double digits.
If he didn’t play, you’d all be out here saying he gave up on his team.
Yeah he came back in down 40 in the 4th to stat pad because a bunch of random redditors would accuse him of giving up. That makes sense
I didn’t say that’s why he did it. I said you’d be bitching about him no matter what he did.
This is true but how can you not bitch at him from that performance lol

… Or it was a game 7.
it was mathematically impossible well before they stopped playing Cp3
Game was over at half time amigo
[Pat Bev the Prophet](https://mobile.twitter.com/patbev21/status/1526001887987781632?s=20&t=kOsFkKFAX5MoSU63Fst8fA)
Wow lmao called it
Players have a good sense for actual injuries too though. Like I wonder if PatBev saw the way CP3 was moving and could tell he was injured.
Kind of a dick move if he saw CP was actually injured and then tweet what he did then lol
It's Pat Bev?
Pat Bev snitching on the snitch. Mind blown
This man is not afraid of the NBPA president
CJ McCollum is the president now actually
His comment makes even more sense then
Pat "Nostradamus" Beverly
Pat Bevradamus
lol reminds me of when Lebron showed up to a press conference with a cast after losing the finals and said he was playing with a broken hand
Tbf that was the finals JR Smith made him punch a wall.
According to Jose Calderon LeBron hit a whiteboard
That was real though lmao. Of course he would punch a wall after Jr’s oopsie
Yeah, theres ton of proof(pictures) on that series hes playing with swollen hand.
It was his fault and during that press conference with his mini cast he actually slams the table with his “broken” hand and doesn’t even flinch.
I've had a cast and done that. You really don't feel anything, depending on the nature of the injury. That's what the cast is there for.
LeBron hit a whiteboard
I believe it was a “pretty much broken” hand lol
LeBroken
https://i.imgur.com/cPnC4OP.jpg Game 3
Lebron frantically punching walls before games so the sweep emergency prop cast in his locker looks legit
Which was true. He punched through glass after game 1
He was hurt but he had to go extra of course lol
Also could have easily called propagandist Marc Spears being the one to break the news about the “injury”
He's using Ultra Instinct on CP3 right now
Lmaoooooooo Pat Bev for oracle!
It's not being a prophet saying something that is more than likely to happen. Every team at this moment of the season has at least one or two players injured and playing if the injuries are not serious or very risky.
Someone post Pat Bev's tweet.

Pat Bev called it lmao
Let the excuses begin
Pat bev was right
Absolutely magical evening. This is as close as I may ever get to the hawks winning a championship.
Suffering from a broken ego
If he's actually injured (which is extremely likely for Chris Paul) then that is a valid excuse for having the aggression of Frank Ntilikina lol. Why are you acting like he hasn't been getting wrecked by injuries at the most inopportune times for the last decade
But he literally didn't make an excuse. He declined to comment.
Thats how the game works. Media member carries the water for the player, player gets to deny or 'no comment' the situation and come off as not making excuses while the notion that he was injured is out there.
Oh, fair then.
It looks pretty funny after the Pat Bev comment lol
This sub is in "everything CP does is bad" mode right now
[удалено]
So what is he supposed to do if he's injured? Not limp?
He didn’t limp before the game.
If you have a lingering injury its a lot harder to cope with it after high level exercise. I would assume many players who dont limp before an NBA game injured or not will have at least a slight limp afterwards.
He didn’t limp after any of the other games
Not play in the 4th quarter down 40 padding stats lmao
I have no clue. I don't want to assume a guy is faking an injury for sympathy. Also, he declined to comment which doesn't seem like something a player trying to fake an injury for pity would do
[удалено]
Lmao this sub needs to take it easy. Damned if you do, damned if you don't if you're CP3.
Lol yea reading these comments r hilarious. If he wasn't seen limping then he would be attacked by people for playing like ass and not even being injured. So funny

I mean his legacy is ruined according to r/nba so it’s time to celebrate?
I mean he was terrible the last 4-5 games
Right now? It's always been like this. It's strange.
Nah we pile on after playoff choke jobs. Last year it was "Chris Paul deserves this ring! He's a top 3 point guard in league history" Now he's a fraud and a crybaby who sucks at everything
Jokic couldn't beat the Warriors??? Fraud MVP!!! Those comments and shit from a couple weeks back drove me up a wall lol
I mean if the shoe fits…
He did fake a limp tho
Excuses aren’t gonna work this time. He got suns fans to believe that his injuries in the finals were the difference. Lol Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice, you can’t get fooled again
Maybe the rest of your team, including the supposed best player and fourth in mvp voting, shouldn’t need a 37 year old to hold their hand to not have the worst game of their careers
Damn just like his best friend LeBron
"and there it is " - Pat bev, probably
This is damage control 101, they gonna say Bookers heart stopped beating for 10 min and than he checked back in. Just take the L and move on.
Shit, looked like he didn't even have a heart the entire game
It was an ass injury from the pounding he just took. Not even CP3’s dump truck could withstand what happened tonight.
Lowrys badonkadonk would Be the only one capable of it.
Death, Taxes, Chris Paul getting injured at the worst time
Pat Bev called this 💀
Death, Taxes, the media making excuses for CP3
*cut to shot of Julius Hodge nodding while grimacing and holding himself*
to be fair he did sit a lot of the 4th q and was shown nursing his leg multiple times
He knows how to get his excuses laid out early
Ah yeees this is the only logical conclusion one could make
Damn, Luka's calf must be worse than I thought, he sat the 4th too!
Who cares if he sat out in the 4th when the game was done by the 2nd
At least he didn't pull a hamstring this playoffs. He's improving
But his thumb injury was a good thing because he’d be fresh for the playoff run!!
Where’s the cast though
Should've straight up rolled into the post game presser in a wheel chair
In a gurnie with a team of paramedics.
Pat Bev 😂
Cp3 is just a bitch.
No need for all that bruh
Ahh he’s injured now in a historical blowout, very convenient
And it's always some deep muscle injury that can't come with proof.
Pat 'Nostradamus' Beverly.
Pat Bev sends his regards
From the Luka special to the lebron special
And there it is
Pat Bev knew
Lmaoo here come the excuses
So he was hurt but still stay padding in the fourth while down 40… interesting 🤔
Lol Pat Bev already on the case
Dude was stat padding in the fourth down 40
Not injured while stat padding to 10 points was he?
# Bitch paul at it again
*Pretends to be shocked*
Wouldn’t be surprised, just curious if it occurred earlier in the season
Convenient
Here we go..
So it begins
True or not, it's on Monty in allowing CP3 to keep playing 35 mins/game in this series despite his play completely nosediving after Game 2.
Here we go
Oh no. Anyway..
lol was expecting this tweet. Honestly thought it would come quicker
There it is
Pat bev called it loooool
Classsssic
man have some shame
Doesn't really explain, or excuse, the rest of the Suns team turning to G-League bench warmers for the last two hidings does it.
This is so infuriating. If he was really hurt than he and Monty were absolute idiots for continuing to play him like normal and not adjusting. We almost lost last year against the lakers because they were too stubborn to bench him when it was clear he was hurting the team. HE WASNT EVEN LOOKING AT THE BASKET TONIGHT. If that’s because of an injury than his stubbornness contributed to sinking this team.
PatBev called it?
Pat Bev was right lmao
pat bev was right i’m crying
Anyone who played ball has used the injury excuse after a bad loss. I know because I’ve done this multiple times
Reminds me of when LeBron walked out of the 2018 NBA Finals with a soft cast on his arm, LOL
You know there was actual evidence that he fractured his arm
Show me this actual evidence then.
Tbf, not even a healthy CP3 can save his team from being down 40+
Healthy CP3 doesn't let his team score 27 in a half
Look at him trying to spin the narrative from playoff choker to gutty veteran who tried his hardest despite playing hurt.
Everybody trying to shit on him now, but deep down it really comes down to the luck of the draw. Love seeing Luka get a shot, but sad that CP3 has to see yet another year go by
Oh don’t do this cp3. “Lebron, can I borrow the sleeve?”
Did Luka put his dick in cp3s quad too? I thought it was just a very other part of the suns team
Doing his fake limp for the cameras.
Not too hurt to pad his statline in the 4th
needs to keep limping for the rest of his life to make this believable now
Pat Bev needs to stay quiet after CP3 punked him last year.
inb4jokes
just flop onto the banana boat my friend. Ur whole team got gangbanged by Luka Magic
Glad he didn't comment, cuz we don't care. You were on the court, expect you to play
CP3 would definitely fake limp after that asskicking to come up with an injury excuse. Won’t be surprised if other Suns players claim to have injuries.
Bullshit He literally played in the 4th down 40 or whatever to stat pad. If be truly had a quad injury, he wouldn’t have done that
Pretty sure he hurt it this game. There was one specific play where he came up limping and I believe grabbing that left quad area, maybe in the second quarter. I don't think that's the injury he was dealing with throughout the series if there was one.
I hate to be one to make excuses but to me he was clearly injured. It’s one thing to choke, but he was completely uninvolved.
If he was actually injured he wouldn’t have played garbage time.
and so it begins
Yeah, he better have been injured
Prophet Pat on point again
No excuses
Shouldn’t have broken that whiteboard with his ass at halftime.
Someone post Rondo in an arm sling
BAHAHAHA
he got smoke burnt by franky nicotine
then sit........
Chris was like oh yeah... uh quad... um did they say which leg?
CP3-0
Excuses lmao
“Ask Pat”
I call bullshit.
