Suns Mode wraps up 2021 with a new episode, and while it may have been the Suns' worst week of basketball in the early part of the season, this week was still tons of fun. This week, we focus most on spreading holiday joy and All-Star propaganda, as well as recapping the Suns previous 4 games. As promised last week, an update is provided for the Suns current standing in the Western Conference playoff picture, and it may look even better than you had thought. Surrounding topics for the show:Suns do well enough in two games vs OKC Thunder- Cam Johnson is a mad man.- Neither team had a head coach, Suns take tough 2nd game.- Jalen Smith is a good young ballplayer these days- Turnover issues Suns could not win "Biggest game of the Year" vs Warriors on Christmas Day.- Steph went 10-27, what else you asking for?- Role players for GS deserve tons of credit.- Shots were falling, but the turnovers and rebounding ability for the Suns were a massive contributor in losing this game.Suns lose heartbreaker to Grizzlies, a one point loss without Jae, DA, or Monty.- Steven Adams is the man I said he was, even though Desmond Bane and Ja Morant will definitely steal the thunder for winning this one.- Horrible officiating hinders masterful 4th quarter from the Suns. With all the COVID protocols going round the league and teams looking very different for the time being, I will not go into much depth on the teams we will be facing.
