Twitter Roasts Suns After Being Dismantled by Mavericks in Game 7

Phoenix, in a Game 7, came out flat. The Twitter world made sure everybody knew who was superior during their embarrassing loss to the Dallas Mavericks.

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Game 7 was supposed to be the Phoenix Suns' for the taking, as the team finished with 64 wins and earned the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference Playoffs. 

After advancing past the New Orleans Pelicans, the Suns hoped to make the Western Conference Finals for a second straight season. 

Phoenix even emerged to a 2-0 lead over the Dallas Mavericks to make that happen, yet Luka Doncic and company fought back to bring the series to a pivotal Game 7.

After losing Game 6, the Suns were adamant a finale in Phoenix would be exciting for all parties involved. 

“It's exciting,” Suns guard Devin Booker told reporters. “It's Game 7. I've never been in a Game 7. It's going to be fun."

Fast-forward to Sunday evening at the Footprint Center, where after three quarters of basketball, the Mavericks had slaughtered the Suns and led by 42 points heading into the final period of play. 

The Suns looked like a mere shell of themselves in all facets. Doncic (27) had as many points as Phoenix did at halftime. 

Teams with the best record in the NBA were previously 35-11 in a Game 7 setting, yet the Suns became the just the second team in league history to win 64 or more games and fail to reach the conference finals. 

The first, oddly enough, were the Mavericks in the 2007 playoffs. 

Phoenix now heads home while Dallas preps for a tough series with the Golden State Warriors. 

With the beat-down still fresh in the memories of those in The Valley, the streets of Twitter let Monty Williams and friends have it.

Underrated storyline: The Phoenix Suns hired Luka Doncic’s Slovenian national team head coach, Igor Kokoskov, to be their head coach in 2018, and then a month later passed on Doncic in the draft. Kokoskov is now on the Mavs coaching staff watching this inferno.

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

Considering the stakes and the talent involved, this is the single worst performance by an AZ team in history. Terrific!#Suns

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