We are back to having great weeks on the Suns Mode podcast. The team is currently riding a three game winning streak that is part of one of the most encouraging stretches of the season for the Suns. This week's episode focuses on the two sources of encouragement: amazing bench play that was eventually supplemented by the returns of Deandre Ayton and Kevin Durant throughout the past week. The Phoenix Suns are currently the 4th seed in the Western Conference, with six games left to jockey for playoff positioning at full health.  The Bubble between the 4 and 12 seeds Surrounding topics for this week How the Suns transformed a discouraging loss versus the Kings into one of the most important learning lessons of the season. Phenomenal bench play in wins versus 76ers, Jazz, Timberwolves Deandre Ayton's return, his impact and what it means for the Center position for the Suns Kevin Durant's return, debut in front of the Phoenix crowd.  Encouraging signs from win against the Timberwolves Important non-suns games with playoff implications across the West.

In the last week, the Suns have continued to slip. A simple glance at the Western Conference standings would show you the Suns have slipped from the top spot in the conference to their current position of fifth place.  My one concern about being 20-16 The biggest news for the Suns is that Devin Booker injured his left groin and will be out for at least the next four weeks. The Suns will have to pull it together and win games without him for a considerable period of time. Remember to vote every day for Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton and all of your favorite NBA players to make the 2023 NBA All-Star Game.  vote.nba.com or use the NBA app to vote daily This episode features recaps of two games versus the Grizzlies, Christmas night's game versus the Nuggets, as well as the most recent Suns loss to the Wizards.
