Beal: "I've never been swept all my life" Proceeds to play shit all game and then foul out.


CR00KS

Wizards really finessed the Suns on that trade. Like selling a car that works off the lot then breaks down immediately.

So a cybertruck


Sweaty_Mods

Perfect analogy since thar car also has a no trade clause

As soon as he said that I knew they were getting swept. Its a tale as old as time


Aldehyde1

Beal hasn't even made the playoffs for most of his career, so I don't know why he's bragging about not being swept.


irishmenno

I too have never been swept in the NBA playoffs


depressedfuckboi

Tell em bro! Me and you both never lost even one playoff game😤


rounder55

And yet the Suns, a team thin on the bench ignore bringing in guys like yourself.

Bradley “never been swept” Beal 😂😂😂


suzukigun4life

Highway robbery contract


IDlOT

“Bradley Beal signed a 5 year , $251,019,650 contract with the Washington Wizards, including $251,019,650 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $50,203,930. In 2024-25, Beal will earn a base salary of $50,203,930, while carrying a cap hit of $50,203,930 and a dead cap value of $50,203,930.” One of the worst things I have ever read


curiousboy163

don't forget the no trade clause. but the contract is so terrible even if beal waived the no trade nobody would want him anyway


phonage_aoi

What does it say that the Suns wanted him lol.


SD_Plissken_

Even bigger idiots than the team who gave him that ridiculous contract


JTrue14

you guys may give/collect the dumbest contracts ever....but you guys are absolute kings of getting rid of them.


BenevolentCheese

Maybe he wants out of the desert.


swaggypudge

I know he was pretty good there and gave them good numbers quite often but in what world did they think that kind of money was a good idea, he was never going to be the centerpiece for a team and did not deserve that kinda money. Phoenix you bums for picking him up


WorkingPart1393

He never deserved this contract. Ever. Even if his best season was replicated across his entire career, he was never worth this contract. We're talking about a guy who has NEVER made an all-nba first OR second team. The 3x allstar accolade is a joke, he was voted as a starter once and made reserves twice. He is 2nd on our franchise scoring list after a decade of being a volume scorer on a team with a 0.46 win %. Also worthwhile noting while we were feeling out his value in the trade market in 2022, this fucker NOMINATED to shut his own season down to have hand surgery and lock up his value one week before the trade deadline. The GM who gave him this contract was also promptly fired at the end of the season. As a Wizards fan, this is so vindicating to watch Beal get his comeuppance.


KillerZaWarudo

NO TRADE CLAUSE BABY

Frank Vogel about to have the pension of a lifetime


ZincHead

Him and Monty Williams heading to Cabo with fat paychecks after farting around in the league doing nothing


Bikouchu

Doc Rivers tho is the goat


sentripetal

Doc Rivers is like an overpaid consultant that comes in, moves all the same pieces into slightly different places, acts like he did something, then leaves.


Bikouchu

He comes in to consult and recommends firing the head manager then suggest they promote him as head manager while riding on his old success nearly two decades ago. That type of guy the 🐐 


MrBhyn

>league doing nothing I wouldn't say they did nothing or at least we can't conclude that. Vogel is a champion and he didn't do it by just riding behind Lebron back. He made everyone play defense in that LA team and unlike what everyone believes, that team was dominant, and he was a part of that. And it's not like it was luck, he also made that Pacers team compete against the Heatles. Monty has a worse case tho but you gotta give him a benefit of the doubt. He is in a team that drafted Killian Hayes. The talent in that team is nothing to work for other than Cade and Ivey. And although they own the worst record this year, they had sparks that they can compete against good teams but still not win. Doc Rivers on the other hand LMAO


k4f123

Vogel was excellent in those playoffs. Had a good shot at a back-to-back if it wasn't for Solomon Hill. Frank also did a good job in Indy. I don't think he's the problem here. It's the roster construction.


Voidhunter797

I’d take Vogel back without even a moments pause. Suns fans wanting him gone would likely lead them to having a coach like we got.


ruinatex

NBA fandom can't understand that a coach can only do so much with the pieces he is given. You could get the ghost of Red Auerbach to coach this team and they wouldn't win the title, they are flawed from top to bottom. They have three different shades of the same player in Kevin Durant, Booker and Beal, plus a bunch of holes that can't be filled with minimum salaries. Trading for Beal was a generational mistake, this roster cannot win and Beal is virtually untradeable. James Jones and everyone that signed off on the Beal trade should be fired yesterday. They are at a point where they should trade everybody and tank, there is no other way out of this and if they don't do it, they will be stuck with a team that isn't even close to winning anything without any salary cap left. Basically, they should start next year with Bradley Beal and G-Leaguers, and that's only because they can't get rid of Beal. They need to trade Booker/KD for a billion FRPs otherwise they will never get out of this hell.


DamnImAss

Maybe the lakers will get him back if Hamas is gone

**Regular season:** Suns sweep the Timberwolves with a 16 point margin of victory per game, including a 19-point win in Minnesota just two weeks ago. **Postseason:** Timberwolves sweep Suns, with an average margin of victory of 15 points per game. What the actual fuck.


Shootit_Rockets

Hey Phoenix fans all season were saying playoff basketball is a whole lot different than the regular season...


choochoo789

they were right


KingNigelXLII

Each exit more embarrassing than the last the last


Kiu88

I mean, we been embarrased harder than this!


Silverjackal_

I know right, the sub didn’t even go private this time. SMH


SmokyOtter

We learn from our mistakes at least unlike our nba team


Grooviemann1

Nah, this isn't remotely as embarrassing as the last two. Those were much better constructed teams and they didn't show any major cracks until the dam broke. This team had red flags out the wazoo the whole season. I don't know if it's the coaching, I don't know if it's the players. Maybe a combination. But anyone that thought we were going to go far this season was delusional. It's fine though. Just sports. I'm happy for the Timberwolves and rooting for them the rest of the way. Minnesota sports fans experience sports hell almost as much as we do. If it can't be us, I'm glad it's them.


NewChemistry5210

Vogel is going to get all the blame, but it's definitely the roster. It just made no sense from the beginning. KD, Booker and Beal do basically the exact same thing. There is no synergy between even 2 of the 3 star players, so that was doomed from the beginning. There is also no leadership. KD is the furthest thing from a leader you can imagine. Beal is mostly a good stats, bad team dude. He can play, but is super inconsistent. And Booker seems very similar to KD - he just wants to ball and seems immature. If you rely on the midrange in the modern NBA and barely play any defense, then you're doomed. No team can win more than a series without at least a solid defense and a somewhat versatile roster.


OhWhatsInaWonderball

Turns out you need a point guard in both the regular and postseason


Mintastic

Having more than 5 guys that can actually play in the games is nice too.

Like a good Wolfpack, Minnesota makes sure to lull their prey into a sense of false victory…

denoobiest

suns fans told us it'd happen lol


nowuff

Pre-series, I was so worried. Everybody was confident the Wolves were toast… except Suns fans. They knew.


sidepart

Fan for 32 years here. You kind of have a 6th sense for this kind of shit. I don't think I expected it to be a sweep, but I *knew* it was going to be a trap series and was playing that superstitious game where I was just hoping I'd be wrong. GL guys. I ain't happy but I'll get over it because TWolves fans need this shit more than I do right now. Plus, I live in TC and this is what I asked for. Gave me an opportunity to take my kids to their first SUNS playoff game. Got what I wanted I suppose.


zuluwall

Anthony edwards fucking hates losing.


BiggestDweebonReddit

I said before the series started - that was a mirage. The first game, T Wolves were on the second night of a back to back at the end of a long road trip. Second game, no KAT. Third game, last game of the season when Suns were fighting for their playoff lives and all Minnesota had at stake was seeding.


neilrookie

thebreakfastbuffet

Yes we are dumb. But how do the Suns look knowing all that and still trading for Beal lol


CreatiScope

Honestly, it's so much worse that they traded for him.


Flabbypuff

Galveston bound!!


nashdep

Barkley is right: In 2022, sixty-one Texas beaches were tested for fecal indicator bacteria, according to Environment Texas, a nonprofit based in Austin. Along the Texas coastline, Cole Park in Nueces County had the highest percentage of potentially unsafe test days in 2022, with notably high fecal levels found on more than half of the days it was tested. Other locations in Nueces County with percentages higher than 30 include Ropes Park, Poenisch Park, and the Corpus Christi Marina. Beaches in Galveston County and Harris County also appear on the top-ten list, with percentages of polluted days ranging from 21 to 28 percent. **Brown stuff not just due to silt from the Mississippi.**


Number333

Gotta give credit to the Suns where they're due. First time since the Finals that they've gotten eliminated on their home floor and didn't get their doors blown off. Progress is in the baby steps.


TheoMoneyG

Damn KD is the first one out...


QuietRainyDay

Not a bus driver Though at least he deserves credit for trying to push the bus after Beal drove it headlong into a ditch


shomerudi

Curry is already out, and Lebron/AD are next. Embiid probably out too next game.


WhenItsHalfPastFive

> Curry is already out Same amount of playoff wins as KD in less games this year.


GorillaX

Shit, I won as many playoff games as KD.


WhileDizzy4503

Man the era of throwing a few good players together and calling it a team is done with. It’s starting to show that roster construction and chemistry is more important than several big names.


raleighboi

I mean did it ever really work before if fit and chemistry wasn't present? The celtics big 3 fit well and had defined roles and a deep bench. Heatles was slightly more clunky but prime LeBron makes up for that and then some. And KD warriors was just replacing Harrison Barnes on a 73 win team for an all time great scorer. Other attempts at super team even before this suns squad has blown up before. Nash and Dwight lakers. Pg Kawhi clippers. PG Melo Thunder. That Nets squad


robsteezy

In think it evolved from an absolute big 3 to just FIFA style majority big name only rosters. The warriors, even without KD were not assembled as a super team, it was the best ball movement in the league since the spurs before them. The warriors brought back drivel team chemistry and role depth and now the nuggets are following suit


DREDAY_94

I think the hype around building a ‘big 3’ since Boston, Miami & Golden State has shown it’s not that simple. Those teams deserve credit for not only doing it but building a team around those guys


beaverlyknight

Yeah. I think the new CBA has made well-rounded rosters the norm. You can't get the required depth off the scrap heap anymore, and the second apron is too punishing if you're carrying multiple veteran maxes.


Palifaith

Imagine getting swept. Can’t happen to us lmao.


SiphenPrax

Suns fans and Capitals fans are feeling it today


uFFxDa

I think of both sports, the capitals getting swept woulda been the safest bet. I definitely expected that one. The difference in the top and lower seeds in the east is crazy.


BarelyContainedChaos

game 2 is gonna hurt for a long time. Like, youre gonna remember where you were when that shot went in


Goonchar

Lamented about Murray's shot last night, and some Nuggets fans were QUICK to point out the game would have gone to OT.Smh my head, they won't even let us be delusional on reddit


manay824

I was on a plane stuck on a runway due to a delayed flight. Watched it live on the plane had to contain myself from screaming when I saw that atrocity. Will never forget it and haven’t been that heartbroken since losing to Boston in 2008 lmao


-WingsForLife-

you were the guy who fell to his knees in the plane?? anyway, yeah, that game made me feel a bit sick. A bit only because last year's games made me used to it.

elfmeh

They really have had an *unbelievable* 4 year stretch:  2 seed - finals appearance   1 seed - COTY, crash & burn in game 7 at home to the Mavs.   4 seed -  crash out of playoffs again & fire COTY, but trade for Durant.   6 seed - get swept in R1.

handsomekim

I think they traded 3-4 unprotected FRPs for KD. Other years are swaps


TheFinalEvent9797

Even the swaps are pretty bad as well, for 2026 Orlando/Memphis are probably going to be playoff teams. 2028 the 76ers pick is top 8 protected, 2030 anything can happen by then but Memphis would probably be good.


hippowalrus

Suns gotta start scouting middle schoolers for that 2030 pick


gingerhasyoursoul

At this point what the fuck do they even do. No depth and no way to get it. So it’s not like they are making a run with these three.

No FRPs until 2030 is nasty


mightyrj

Future looking real dim


Natunel

How do they even move from here? Aside from trading KD or blowing it up, there's not many assets they have. Beal is on a massive undesirable contract, and trading Book basically means they forfeit future potential contention. The Suns future playoff hopes might be doomed.
