The Phoenix Suns finished 49-37 a season ago, which slotted them in as the sixth seed in the Western Conference. No homecourt advantage. And ultimately, no playoff wins.
Sure, it was nice that they didn’t have to play in the Play-In, right? Geeze. Just remembering how that was a possibility was frustrating to contemplate as the team was preparing for the final weeks of the season. Their schedule was tough, and if they could get their act together, they would be fighting for their playoff lives. But hey, maybe then we would’ve experienced a win after game 82.
