On Sunday night, the Phoenix Suns weathered their latest, greatest playoff humiliation. Not only were they eliminated but they were swept from the first round perhaps because the organization invested every resource it had toward building a “super-team” around their franchise players Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, and the consistently injury-addled Bradley Beal.

However, Justin Bieber was very clearly not in a theater being turned on by the best movie of 2024 (yeah, I said it). Instead, he was in his feelings. And posting about it.
