It’s safe to say Patrick Beverley does not like Chris Paul. Ever since Paul and the Suns lost in game 7 and CP3 put in a horrible performance, Beverley has been on his case on ESPN. He even went as far as to reference Stephen Curry while destroying Chris Paul on national television.
Paul had one of the worst games of his career and the Suns had their worst game of the season. And it all happened in their most important game. The Suns were blown away by the Mavs and they just couldn’t deal with Luka and co. It was so bad that at the half, Luka had the same number of points as the entire Suns team.

Paul had one point at the half and 10 at the end of the game. And he was largely ineffective. Beverley laid into him calling him out for not stepping up to the moment. He also suggested that the Suns’ coach should have benched CP.
NBA Fans are shocked to see how much Pat Bev hates Chris Paul with his Stephen Curry reference
The NBA fans were blown away by how Pat was talking about Paul. They did expect such a reaction from the man. They were even shocked when he used the name of Curry to mock Paul. He said, “I stay out all night when I know I’m guarding Chris Paul tomorrow. I’m in bed by 8 when I know I have Steph Curry the next day”. This sent Twitter into a frenzy. Here are the best reactions:
Pat Bev took hate to a new level. Man did 6 hours of tv just to piss on CP3 grave https://t.co/vVgfu7fnY5

I get it, the suns flopped in a game 7. No bueno. But CP3 is such a proven winner i think eyes need to be elsewhere rather than grilling him over this series..

Pat bev doing much talking now. Why we acting like cp3 ain’t come to okc and Phoenix and turn them into high level playoff teams over night. And he did it at 35+ years old. Yeah he didn’t win but still deserves his flowers.

To disrespect a future hall of fame point guard that Kobe wanted to play with is insane. Especially in his 17th season. Even Coach Kidd said it’s hard to play at that age because you get tired quick. Jason Kidd with the Nets vs. Kidd with Knicks. Take your pick

How did the Suns succumb in their own house?
The Suns won every game on their home court against the Mavs. And everyone expected the Suns to go through or at least put up a fight. But what we saw was totally out of the blue. The Mavs came out hot, and they took a huge lead at the start.
This threw the Suns’ game plan right out of the window. They tried to get some quick points, and they took some bad shots. And nothing was going in. The game was over by the half as the Mavs had built a 30-point lead. And their stars were a no-show. Devin Booker and Chris Paul had 3 points at the half.
The Suns will be disappointed that they didn’t take the opportunity but they will be back. But next year, the West is expected to be stacked. And the road to the Finals will be a lot harder.
