Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns are not happy at the moment. They lost their Game 4 contest to the Dallas Mavericks, allowing them to even up the series. An incident that occurred off the court also has Paul upset.
Paul tweeted after the Suns’ loss to the Mavs how frustrated he is over the NBA allowing fans to put their hands on players’ families while fining players for interactions with fans.
Wanna fine players for saying stuff to the fans but the fans can put they hands on our families….fuck that!!

During a timeout, Paul was seen talking to security and looking into the stands. There has not yet been a report from either teams or the league about such an incident occurring during Game 4 but Paul’s frustrations are very understandable. The NBA has a history of fans acting terribly towards players’ families, although many of those fans also receive severe punishments from the teams.
Paul showed his frustration ahead of the postgame presser. He asked the Suns’ communication team if he should leave the presser in order to avoid a fine, according to Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports. Paul would end up leaving the press conference shortly after the exchange.
In Game 4, Paul had just five points and six fouls. After a brutal Game 3 performance, Paul played poorly and got mocked by Mavs head coach Jason Kidd after the game. The Suns are looking to get back to the NBA Finals.
