Suns Fans Seen Burning Chris Paul Jerseys Following The Game 7 Loss

Perhaps the most surprising anecdote of the Phoenix Suns’ playoff loss to the Mavericks was Chris Paul’s disappearing act.

After Game 2 of the series, Paul averaged just nine PPG while also proving to be a liability on the defensive side of the ball.

When the Suns lost in blowout fashion at home against the Mavs, fans were clearly fed up with Chris Paul. And outside the stadium, fans were seen burning CP3’s jersey.

After the game, Chris Paul maintained his confidence in the Suns’ future despite the lackluster finish to the season.

“You play long enough and you don’t win, every time you lose, they’re going to say it was your best chance,” said Paul after the Suns’ 123-90 loss to the Dallas Mavericks in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals Sunday. “But I think for me, us, it’s we’ll be right back next year. I’ll tell you that much.

“I’m not retiring tomorrow, thank God. Hopefully, I’m healthy coming back. But I’m [going to] keep playing.”

Chris Paul appears to be losing a step now. But he’s still one of the best point guards in the NBA. Perhaps now the Suns will know they have to get the veteran some more roster help prior to next season in order to reach their championship aspirations.
