Social Media Reacts to Suns-Mavericks Going to Game 7

The Suns dropped a series-clinching Game 6, and now the Mavericks are heading back to Phoenix with all the momentum they need.

Was this the worst game the Phoenix Suns played this series? 

Surely the losses in Games 3 and 4 stick out as well, yet the Suns made sure to remain somewhat competitive in those contests. 

Rather, with an opportunity to close out the series and potentially get a head-start on rest in waiting for the winner of the Warriors-Grizzlies series to emerge, Phoenix crumbled under the bright lights of the American Airlines Center in a 113-86 loss to the Dallas Mavericks. 

Nothing could really go right for the Suns from the opening tip, as Dallas built their lead to as high as 27 points throughout the game. 

Phoenix losing a basketball game isn't an everyday occurrence, yet when you play a high number of games, you're sure to lose a handful. 

However, the Suns looked out of their comfort zone and frankly out of focus for much of the game. Whether it be shooting, defensive rotations or turnovers, Phoenix simply wasn't up for the task. 

Suns fans on social media saw that, too. They made sure to voice their opinions after Game 6 concluded.

I hope Phoenix Suns fans do not blame this on the refs. This is a terrible performance from the Suns so far. #Suns

Devin Booker is the only Suns player I trust heading into Game 7. No idea what happened to the deepest team in the NBA.

Suns had better hope this series is as simple as having home-court advantage, because this is humbling in every possible facet

In all my years, I've never seen anything like what happens to the road team in this Mavs-Suns series. Every game has been a complete mismatch for the home team. It's like the road team has its talents stolen, as the NBA stars did in the one and only Space Jam.

That orange guy came to all 3 Mavs Home games in this series and really saw the Suns go 0-3

That’s a bad beat…

There is no shit left for Suns fans to talk. The fact that they are in a Game 7 with the Dallas Mavericks is an abject failure.

Although Game 7 is slated for Sunday, we're still unsure of the time. 

Suns-Mavs Game 7 will be at 5 p.m. AZ time if Celtics-Bucks goes to a Game 7. If not, Suns-Mavs G7 will be at 12:30 p.m. AZ time

Now, literally and figuratively, the ball is in Phoenix's court. The Suns are one of the best teams in basketball, and they have one game left to prove it.
