30 wins?

1- 4 pretty close.

7 through the 9 spot is tight right now.

Then 10-13 are also in the hunt for the play-in.

It's usually figured in a combination of wins and losses.

Right now its looking like around 35-38 wins to clinch a spot.

Right now its looking like around 35-38 wins to clinch a spot.

And currently about 42 wins to secure a top 6 spot and avoid the play in.

I don't want a play-in spot. Suns need to finish 6th or better.

Its funny because at the beginning of the season, even just prior to its start, most fans would have been happy with a play in spot. Now that we've seen how good this team can be though a play in spot would be disappointing.

I don't want anyone questioning the Suns made the playoffs or having one or two games deciding the outcome.

I asked Monty Williams about Cam Johnson and his defense being considered a question mark coming out of the draft. He said it was evident from the 1st few practices in Flagstaff that Cam was even better on D than they thought and he's never seen deficiencies there in Cam's game.

Suns record since starting 8-7 = 21-7. Number of losses against sub .500 teams in that 21-7 stretch: 6. Only loss with a winning record was to the Nets who were down Irving and Durant, and they had a 20+ point lead in the 3rd. They are winning the games against the competitive teams and losing to teams they should be crushing! It's beyond frustrating.

That’s a pretty crazy stat.
