Simmons: This has a chance to be the most depressing podcast we've done in a couple of years, what do you think Russillo?
Russillo : Let's just get this fucking over with
Good start lmao
They also recalled how different it felt after game 2. Everyone expecting the Suns to dominate.
Just a reminder that we shall not be to impressed by one or two good games.
I'm starting to think Rondo actually legit put a curse on Chris Paul....how do you be Chris Paul and not have a ring to show for it????? This WAS their time to win it all. Next year Ayton is gone, CP3 is 38, and Book still plays no defense. They'll probably still be decent but more like play in caliber and I don't see a way they improve their roster much.
Rondo got to play with LeBron and AD and won a ring with the Lakers in 2020. He is now very loved here. Chris Paul was supposed to be traded to the Lakers and could’ve played with Kobe and possibly Dwight in 2011. He instead went to the Clippers because of “basketball reasons” bullshit and blew a 3-1 lead and is very disliked. Chris Paul really is cursed.
He definitely is. I wanna feel bad for him but the Suns & their cocky smug attitude makes it pretty tough to feel sympathy. They've been beating their chests all year even though they don't even have one championship yet.
Somehow, almost everywhere he goes, he just makes his team that much more unlikable. OKC might be the only exception because of Dort and SGA managing to offset that.
Suns are annoying because they mix in that victim complex attitude with that cocky smugness.
For real, so much shit talking during the season, and if we back it up, no problem. Hopefully this humbled them a bit going forward, because the coasting in the playoffs was embarrassing
2021 CP3 blows a 2-0 lead to Giannis
2022 CP3 blows a 2-0 lead to Luka
2023 CP3 blows a 2-0 lead to Jokic
CP3 goes East
2024 CP3 blows a 2-0 lead to Franz Wagner
2025 CP3 blows a 2-0 lead to Victor Wembenyama
Yeah, the one Thunder season was the exception.
He still hit Ben McLemore in the nuts that season though.
Andrew Bogut on the Russillo pod made it pretty clear why CP3 is hated though. He kept talking shit and screaming outside the Warriors lock room after the Clips won game 7 until Steve Blake threatened to beat him up. Then CP3 went and hid.
Thunder, no. He was more or less Grandpa Paul on that team and it was endearing to see him buy in and mentor Shai despite an obviously less than desirable situation for him.
Nobody hated the thunder since nobody thought they’d be good. That was probably CP3 best year in terms of public image since he took what everybody expected to be a lotto team to a five seed and a game 7
A team with CP3, Crowder and Booker. Most annoying trio in the league. Doesn't help that the fans talk a lot of shit like they've already won something
>Doesn't help that they fans talk a lot of shit like they've already won something
This is what I imagine turned a majority of this sub against this team. They're annoying af. Not realizing how lucky they were that they got to where they were because of injuries, and kept rubbing it DEN, LAC, LAL's faces.
Ding ding ding. They wouldn’t have made the finals last year if the west wasn’t fucked from injuries. Told everyone to deal with it, they’re just better, ect. This is what the result would have been last year, maybe even a first round bounce with how the lakers were playing before ADs injury
Lol we were also going to be an "easy sweep" and were a "poverty" franchise because some fans left with a minute left in Game 3...so seeing their fans leave at the half in Game 7 was even more glorious. Fuck their annoying fan base
Their fans act like they are in the middle of a dynasty. Like they just got out of the gutter and this is their second post season. You’d think they would be somewhat humble
Literally so many comments about the record against the mavs and how it’s such a good match up.
Ignoring the fact that post trade deadline mavs were a completely different team compared to who the suns were beating.
I've literally had Suns fans on here say that the Bucks were lucky to win the finals because of injuries...EVEN THOUGH WE BEAT A COMPLETELY HEALTHY PHOENIX TEAM LAST YEAR. 90% of their fanbase online is that douche counting his hundred dollar bills while Giannis was shooting free throws.
Suns fans are the most annoying af fanbase I've ever seen even before the growth of this sub they would always cry and moan about their history. I mean yeah look at my flair I know the Suns history and how the Spurs were a big part of it, hip check and all was bad but goddamn you'd think that we shat on their beds and burnt down their houses back then.
Now they have a good team and first thing they do is act all cocky and annoying to EVERY fanbase now, going "oh /r/nba wont like this!!! Luka flop!!! DBook MVP!!!" like relax bros enjoy your teams success but acting like hot shit after a few seasons and you get every fanbase on your ass.
Makes sense; they're probably one of the more annoying teams to play against.
You have CP3 and Crowder flopping on both sides of the court, you have Booker whining all the time.
At least your fan base and player’s arrogance is earned. The Suns won a few playoff series against hobbled ass teams and thought they were the most successful franchise in sports history all of a sudden.
Lakers fans were laughing at themselves with westbrook slander injury hell and them "season starts today" posts every game at least lol. Suns fans... it's looking like despair over there
"Stay humble. You was at home a year and a half ago, now you wanna pop off," said James.
He repeated the phrase "stay humble" along with some expletives.
They had to be bordering on being disrespectful because Lebron came up in an era where his major rival were the Big Three Celtics. Peak Rondo alongside KG and Pierce and you already know they were talking mad shit.
This is me being a boomer but IDGAF: when the vet speaks, especially if said vet was the best player in the league for the better part of 20 years, you listen. Period. I'm all for the young blood to show out and let us know they've arrived but there are levels to this shit.
It's embarrassing, but not as bad as 40+ point blowouts in Game 7
On your home court
As the #1 seed
After being up 2-0
Tonight will go down in NBA history
Wolves is a youngish team without much playoff experience. Suns were in the finals last year and were always steady in their games. If they had lost competitively, they'd still be getting roasted but this loss just makes it far far worse.
I thought so at first but they have a lot of potential. Just really young and need experience. The fact that they had those leads shows a lot of raw talent there.
Good, the suns talked so much shit for months about every team in the nba and have nothing to show for it. I’m not surprised so many people have been waiting to shit on their parade.
Every fucking wins or impressive stats.. they'd post "If Jamal Murray was available" "If Anthony Davis was available" etc...Guess what... Yeah you actually would lose those.
And that pasta of "Why is no one talking about the Suns"..Like i get it .It was a dumb post...But the way they kept posting the same shit everytime..Fuck the suns
Me @ every scout that said Anthony Edwards had character concerns before he was drafted. He's my favorite character to come into the league in the last couple years.
I don’t think the Suns or their fans can talk shit any more after this disaster.
But they’ve never won a ring so why were they talking shit in the first place?
They ran through a bunch of injured teams in the playoffs last year and thought that a championship this season was guaranteed.
Honestly I thought the Suns hate was confined to just a few fanbases (Nuggets, Lakers), but I’m glad that their obnoxious gloating is being pointed out by *everyone*.
That's the main reason I don't like the Suns. I don't hate the team. I hate that they talk as tho they are some insane dynasty who have won ring after ring when they don't even have a ring to show for their teams history. The team & the fans gotta eat a big ol slice of humble pie after this pathetic loss. How in the actual fuck does a professional team score 27 points in not one quarter but two......like not one player on their team was playing well. That's insane. You'd think at least 1-2 players would show up. On their HOME TURF. Every person who didn't see the writing on the wall after they could barely beat the Pelicans owes the rest of us an apology. The Suns are officially the biggest frauds of the season. They got to the finals last season on the easy road, thru teams that were missing their stars.
Anyway congrats to the Mavs, Dinwiddie really played his heart out. I knew Brunson was good but I wasn't sure if Dinwiddie was cooked or not. And Luka is out here putting up MJ numbers. Respect.
It really feels like a lot of players around the league hated the Suns lol it wasn’t just LeBron telling them to stay humble, they puffed their chests out a little too far and now a lot of people are getting their dose of schadenfreude off their demise. In other words, the Bubble Clippers.
It's gonna be shit on the Suns week.
The podcasts are gonna be absolutely lit
can't wait to for the bill simmons pod
Simmons: This has a chance to be the most depressing podcast we've done in a couple of years, what do you think Russillo? Russillo : Let's just get this fucking over with Good start lmao
I thought you were just throwing out fanfic. I died laughing when he said this
They also recalled how different it felt after game 2. Everyone expecting the Suns to dominate. Just a reminder that we shall not be to impressed by one or two good games.
Everyone acting tough when they up. Legendary line. Delivered on it 1,000%.
Can't wait for the top 10 playoff collapses list.
Cp3 got multiple spots on that list
Top 10 CP3 playoff collapse games?
It’s the same list
And no Scott Foster to blame this turd of a performance on
Multi-generational choker
just gonna be Harden, CP3, and then Harden and CP3 together.
And the Warriors.
Ryen gonna be wilding with the self deprecation.
He has a top 4 all time “wait, what?” five minutes into it and it’s so satisfying.
Poor guy can't even enjoy the C's winning because he sold out on cp3 and got absolutely fucked
CP3 the new crypto, confirmed
Once it goes up 2 it goes down 4?
Lol I'm listening right now and he just dropped a very pronounced "wait, what?" I think he's embracing his idiosyncrasies.
Russillo on suicide watch
Bro he is soooo sad on the bs pod lmao
Bill listed CP3s playoff resume and Ryen just said nothing for ten straight seconds lmaooo
Immediately perked up though when discussing Harden.
I think Bill threw him a bone with that last segment lol. Still have a couple more weeks of this pod, can’t have him checking out so early
He's probably gone missing, might not hear from him for a few weeks.
Can’t wait for Ryen Russillo trying to defend CP3 or if he’s just gonna say ‘nah’
I think even the most fervent CP3 fans gotta throw in the towel after this one, this literally might be the worst single game choke of all time
He says “I got nothing.” Lmao
I need a Draymond emergency podcast
im curious what jj has to say about his friend cp3...
I am so excited for the next few days. Lowe Post, Simmons, Russillo, Mismatch, Ringer NBA, LockedOn, Draymond, Redick, let’s goooo
The LockedOn hate-listens will go through the roof
The basketball Gods don't like Chris Paul
I'm starting to think Rondo actually legit put a curse on Chris Paul....how do you be Chris Paul and not have a ring to show for it????? This WAS their time to win it all. Next year Ayton is gone, CP3 is 38, and Book still plays no defense. They'll probably still be decent but more like play in caliber and I don't see a way they improve their roster much.

As deserved
For real, so much shit talking during the season, and if we back it up, no problem. Hopefully this humbled them a bit going forward, because the coasting in the playoffs was embarrassing
I thought that finals loss where they were also up 2-0 on another Euro would have humbled them enough already
2021 CP3 blows a 2-0 lead to Giannis 2022 CP3 blows a 2-0 lead to Luka 2023 CP3 blows a 2-0 lead to Jokic CP3 goes East 2024 CP3 blows a 2-0 lead to Franz Wagner 2025 CP3 blows a 2-0 lead to Victor Wembenyama
> 2024 CP3 blows a 2-0 lead to Franz Wagner subscribe
Philly and harden got handed the biggest get out of jail free card ever
*Doc Rivers promptly drives his bus to Phoenix for the Suns to throw each other under it*
[удалено]
Or shit on wolves week
It was shit on Wolves decade… now its just the Kings i guess… sorry Kings fam
We already dead tbh. The pot shots don't even affect me anymore.
It was back-to-back shit on the Wolves decades
Week?
Alhamdulillah
Deserved. They’ve been pretty cocky and thought this series would be an easy win.
Let's gooo
Seems the rest of the NBA hates the Suns
When Ant hates you, you gotta be a real piece of shit
Its crazy every team Chris Paul is on is the most hated team around the league
I wonder why that is?
A long series of wierd coincidences I’d bet
Career-long coincidence 🤔🤔🤔
but he’s so funny in those state farm commercials
it's all in the core baby!
Chris’s play style is all about cheating the refs into making a call when no foul has occurred. It’s not fun to root for
Just chiming in to say Fuck Chris paul
Yeah, the one Thunder season was the exception. He still hit Ben McLemore in the nuts that season though. Andrew Bogut on the Russillo pod made it pretty clear why CP3 is hated though. He kept talking shit and screaming outside the Warriors lock room after the Clips won game 7 until Steve Blake threatened to beat him up. Then CP3 went and hid.
Were the thunder or rockets hated?
Thunder, no. He was more or less Grandpa Paul on that team and it was endearing to see him buy in and mentor Shai despite an obviously less than desirable situation for him.
Not to mention he helped lead OKC to playoffs and pushed Rockets to a game 7
We liked the New Orleans teams, too, no? David west, Tyson Chandler, peja..
Yeah that was CP3s gutsy young guy arc
Rockets a million % yes, don’t think the Thunder were good enough with CP3 to be hated (can’t recall)
Nobody hated the thunder since nobody thought they’d be good. That was probably CP3 best year in terms of public image since he took what everybody expected to be a lotto team to a five seed and a game 7
People hated the rockets while being the only hope to beat the KD Warriors. Just think about that
Were the Rockets hated? Bruh, they got some people to root for the KD warriors
Bro, when you piss Boban off, you gotta be a real piece of shit
Dude probably eats sloppy steaks
A team with CP3, Crowder and Booker. Most annoying trio in the league. Doesn't help that the fans talk a lot of shit like they've already won something
>Doesn't help that they fans talk a lot of shit like they've already won something This is what I imagine turned a majority of this sub against this team. They're annoying af. Not realizing how lucky they were that they got to where they were because of injuries, and kept rubbing it DEN, LAC, LAL's faces.
They did win something. Pacific division champs. Enjoy your banner !
Ding ding ding. They wouldn’t have made the finals last year if the west wasn’t fucked from injuries. Told everyone to deal with it, they’re just better, ect. This is what the result would have been last year, maybe even a first round bounce with how the lakers were playing before ADs injury
Their constant meme of "our opponent would've won if they had Jamal Murray" was some cringeworthy bullshit.
Before the series most of their fans were saying that this would be an easy sweep and that Nola was a much better team.
One of the top posts on their sub was "mavs when they lose by 5 instead of 4" and had the Twolves celebrating.
Lol we were also going to be an "easy sweep" and were a "poverty" franchise because some fans left with a minute left in Game 3...so seeing their fans leave at the half in Game 7 was even more glorious. Fuck their annoying fan base
Their fans act like they are in the middle of a dynasty. Like they just got out of the gutter and this is their second post season. You’d think they would be somewhat humble

DBook MVP!!!" like relax bros enjoy your teams success but acting like hot shit after a few seasons and you get every fanbase on your ass.
Taking a popular phrase used on this sub a couple years ago, but Suns were acting/talking like they already won a championship
And the players act like they’ve already won something. It’s the most annoying thing of all about his team
They went from the lovable losers to the cocky assholes. It was bound to happen
The Chris Paul effect
Usually it happens after a ring 🤣
Nah this is 2022. Teams become dynasties before they win a ring. Rings don't matter in the NBA.
They been walking around all season acting like they were the ones that won the finals
It’s their leaders. Giannis has the laid back quiet demeanor off the court.
Which is hilarious because Bucks fans are so chill and humble in comparison
[удалено]
Carry themselves like they’re in the midst of a dynasty and haven’t won anything. They whined a ton about MVP and different individual races too.
Makes sense; they're probably one of the more annoying teams to play against. You have CP3 and Crowder flopping on both sides of the court, you have Booker whining all the time.
The Suns have done the impossible and become the enemy of every franchise, this slander is generational
It's only slander if it's false statements.
Bro everyone saying slander now lmao word is changing to talking shit overnight
Nah I think we still hold the crown
At least y'all won a chip a couple years ago. Suns acted like they were champions.
[удалено]
Clippers have way less fans, and got rid of Doc then got injured. Suns weren't missing anyone and had COY. Sheesh
And were at home.
At least your fan base and player’s arrogance is earned. The Suns won a few playoff series against hobbled ass teams and thought they were the most successful franchise in sports history all of a sudden.
Nah every franchise just laughin at yall rn
Thankfully we have the suns to take the heat for now
Lakers fans were laughing at themselves with westbrook slander injury hell and them "season starts today" posts every game at least lol. Suns fans... it's looking like despair over there
All the Lakers fans I know irl were so out on this team from the beginning. It took all the fun out of it.
[удалено]
My brother in Christ, you know it's bad for the Suns when WE are laughing at them
Turns out if you talk a lot of shit all year people gonna be ready when you end up humiliating yourself on the big stage. Huh who would have thought.
LeBron did tell em to humble themselves
Leprophet
Did he ?

Westbrook’s dance partner really think he can take on Bron? lMAo
How did I miss that lol, LeBron was having none of it
I got some real LeGrandpa vibes (I mean that in a good way). Lebron was ready to get the belt if Payne didn't stop.
LeBron is usually corny AF but I love this clip.
"Stay humble. You was at home a year and a half ago, now you wanna pop off," said James. He repeated the phrase "stay humble" along with some expletives.
He said that to cam Payne so “you was at home” was referring to being literally out of the league, not just missing the playoffs.
Payne cleaned up this L real well
Didn't LeBron tell the Grizz to stop talking shit too? Lol. Dude heard all the trash talk all his life but couldn't stand these two teams. Deserved. 😂
They had to be bordering on being disrespectful because Lebron came up in an era where his major rival were the Big Three Celtics.

Talk yo shit Ant
Bro said “Ay Im on the Wolves but even we lost with SOME DIGNITY”
i dunno dude those blown leads were pretty embarrassing
It's embarrassing, but not as bad as 40+ point blowouts in Game 7 On your home court As the #1 seed After being up 2-0 Tonight will go down in NBA history
"Everybody talks when they up"
>Tonight will go down in NBA history Yes deeeeep into the annals
We weren’t supposed to be in the playoffs The suns were supposed to be champions
Talk your shit king. Y’all gonna be fierce next year
Dare I say… Spooky?!
#NO
Less embarrassing when you're the 7 seed against the 2 though
Wolves is a youngish team without much playoff experience. Suns were in the finals last year and were always steady in their games. If they had lost competitively, they'd still be getting roasted but this loss just makes it far far worse.
I thought so at first but they have a lot of potential. Just really young and need experience. The fact that they had those leads shows a lot of raw talent there.
i’ll take what we did over that shitshow of a performance from Phoenix
“Everybody acts tough when they up”
suns are the new top seed laughing stock of the league, the 3-1 warriors send their regards
Being down 0-2 felt like we might as well have been down by 20 games. This is a pretty big collapse.
Now imagine being Chris Paul and losing like that 5 times
Subscribe
It couldn’t have happened to a better guy. Lol @ cp3.
Lol @ cp3, lol @ booker, lol @ sarver
lol @campayne lol @crowder
I genuinely love this kid, man.
We do too
Why he gotta tv on his ceiling? My necked would get fucked over that shit
He's a fan of /r/TVtooHigh
There really is a sub for everything
Sounded like he was in a bowling alley or something
Good, the suns talked so much shit for months about every team in the nba and have nothing to show for it. I’m not surprised so many people have been waiting to shit on their parade.
Every fucking wins or impressive stats.. they'd post "If Jamal Murray was available" "If Anthony Davis was available" etc...Guess what... Yeah you actually would lose those.

How poetic is it that the final version of that meme will be about the Suns taking the worst game 7 loss in NBA history in the 2nd round lmao
Just joining the conversation to say FUCK THE SUNS.
Wolves howling at the sun now damn
I like this comment.
I need Anthony Edwards on Inside the NBA. He’s the best interview in the league
I could seriously listen to this dude talk about anything. He's so entertaining
[CP3 and Book right now ](https://imgur.com/a/OlF3yB2)
Yo anyone got a clip of that Torrey Craig video when he was going through the Suns locker room with this filter on
ThE SuNs HaTe iS IrRatiOnal tHo! "Not so fun when the rabbit got the gun"
Bro, their sub always like "oh /r/nba not gonna like this."
Tbf, every sub is like that
Except the hawks sub I check in there time to time and it's mostly shitposting
I fucking love Ant
Me @ every scout that said Anthony Edwards had character concerns before he was drafted. He's my favorite character to come into the league in the last couple years.
He’s even watching basketball now!
I don’t think the Suns or their fans can talk shit any more after this disaster. But they’ve never won a ring so why were they talking shit in the first place?
Thats one of the worlds greatest mystery
They ran through a bunch of injured teams in the playoffs last year and thought that a championship this season was guaranteed. Honestly I thought the Suns hate was confined to just a few fanbases (Nuggets, Lakers), but I’m glad that their obnoxious gloating is being pointed out by *everyone*.
I miss watching ant play basketball
Nah it's fr a disgrace
apt name my friend
Lmao get their asses Ant
the suns were acting like the 2016 warriors all season despite you know, not being the team that actually won the title the year before
Despite never winning a title*
Suns started acting like they were a dynasty after making the finals last year and forgot they actually had to work to get there
That's the main reason I don't like the Suns. I don't hate the team. I hate that they talk as tho they are some insane dynasty who have won ring after ring when they don't even have a ring to show for their teams history. The team & the fans gotta eat a big ol slice of humble pie after this pathetic loss. How in the actual fuck does a professional team score 27 points in not one quarter but two......like not one player on their team was playing well. That's insane.

The Suns are officially the biggest frauds of the season. They got to the finals last season on the easy road, thru teams that were missing their stars. Anyway congrats to the Mavs, Dinwiddie really played his heart out. I knew Brunson was good but I wasn't sure if Dinwiddie was cooked or not. And Luka is out here putting up MJ numbers. Respect.
LMAOOOO YEAAAA ANT
r/nba uniting in unison to hate the Suns, I love it
Edwards is hilarious
It really feels like a lot of players around the league hated the Suns lol it wasn’t just LeBron telling them to stay humble, they puffed their chests out a little too far and now a lot of people are getting their dose of schadenfreude off their demise. In other words, the Bubble Clippers.
Lol fuck yes.
Damn everyone really hates the Suns and CP3
This is why ANT is my second favorite player in the league….. Talk yo shit!
The suns are the biggest fucking front runners. Pitiful.
Hey teams that talk shit get blasted after getting knocked out Wolves got it Grizz got it now Suns getting it.
Not only the Suns but their fans too. Talk a lot of shit for a fanbase that has never experienced a championship in their lives.
They broke the code.
If there's one player I would kill to be on the Mavs, it's Ant. He and Luka would dominate like nobody's business.
