The Phoenix Suns suffered one of its worst losses of the season against the Cleveland Cavaliers, losing to the NBA’s top team 118-92.
Not only were the Suns thwarted, they were nearly healthy, missing only Jusuf Nurkic while the Cavaliers were depleted without all-defensive forward Evan Mobley and key rotation players Isaac Okoro and Caris LeVert.
Suns fans were let down once again as they were reminded what a real NBA championship contender looks like.
Here’s what fans had to say on social media:
Today is a reminder that there is no world where the Suns are a championship contender

I think I’m ready for Jimmy Butler to be a Sun

The Suns live on Book/KD ISO
Which is a turnover heavy and inefficient offense

If this is how Bradley Beal is going to approach the game, I'm not sure why he wouldn't just waive his no trade clause tomorrow

With today’s loss, the Phoenix Suns are now 11-18 against teams .500 or better

This is probably the least impactful Bradley Beal has ever been in a game for the Suns.
It feels like we’re delaying the inevitable here. We’re all ready for this to be over.

Well, the Cavaliers are really good.

Why is Book smiling while down 20?
He never used to do that before. Doesn’t care about winning anymore. I wonder why?

The Big 3 experiment is officially over. Whether it’s a Beal, Or a KD trade.. The Suns cannot continue past the trade deadline with this team.
The Cavs are one of the best teams in the NBA but the Suns got embarrassed today.
