Chris Paul’s Wednesday night ended the best way, with his Phoenix Suns clinching a spot in the 2021 NBA Finals. He beat his former team, the Los Angeles Clippers, making a couple of rivals mad with his antics.
Patrick Beverley shoved him, and DeMarcus Cousins had a couple of things to say to him. With about 2 minutes on the clock in the 4th quarter, the point guard exchanged some words with the Clippers’ bench, which didn’t sit well with Boogie.

The big man replied to CP3, reminding him that these attitudes are why a lot of people dislike him so much.
“You wonder why nobody f— with yo weak a**,” Cousins said.
"You wonder why nobody f–k with yo weak ass."

This wasn’t the only time these two went at it. In the 3rd quarter, after scoring on three defenders, Paul was heading back to defense while Cousins would inbound the ball. They were very close and Boogie touched CP3’s neck with his elbow. The Point God sold that play and was granted one free throw.

Chris was on a mission on Wednesday night. He drove his rivals crazy and Beverley shoving him is the biggest proof of all. He had beef with Paul George during the regular season and now made at least two more enemies.
He and Boogie already had history, and this episode won’t help their relationship if there were any to start with.
