However, during a five-game losing streak, it made that quest more difficult, according to Devin Booker . Before the Suns’ 5-game skid , the team was closing in on potentially missing the play-in game and securing the No. 6 seed.
Since that stretch, they slid back into the seventh spot, making them have to participate in that game if the playoffs were to start, as of writing this. “To be completely honest, we put ourselves in a tough position to make it to that six now… Staying focused on playing the right brand of basketball… learn from the past five games,” Booker said via PHNX Suns postgame in the locker room on X (formerly Twitter). Although Booker’s comments seem discouraging, it might be quite the contrary.
Recognizing where they are and being honest is an important ingredient for what Phoenix is building. Not to mention, the influx of injuries happened at a terrible time. That isn’t an excuse, but it plays a significant role in the recent shortcomings.
