As it currently stands, the Phoenix Suns are 26-39 and six games out of the final playoff spot in the Western Conference with 17 games remaining. Not exactly favorable odds to make their long awaited return to postseason basketball.
While this is definitely disappointing considering their 7-4 start to the season, a team that was on pace to win 33 games after winning 19 games the previous season should still be seen as a success and definite progress under the James Jones/Monty Williams regime.
But due to the unprecedented circumstances and uncertainty in regards to the continuation of the 2019-20 NBA season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, what if there was a one-time scenario in which the Phoenix Suns still had a realistic chance to play postseason basketball?
