The Suns are off to a 1-3 start. no bueno. With 78 games left, the season is far from over but the team still needs to prove they can play better than they have shown. The Suns have lost two straight games vs the Trail Blazers and Kings, both very beatable teams considering that the Suns are fresh off of a finals run. To continue the home stand, the Suns will play the Cavaliers (Saturday) and the Pelicans (Tuesday), two more teams that are very beatable... considering that the Suns are fresh off a finals run. 

In this episode, Suns Mode Sunna points out some slips in the early Suns narrative.
- CP3 was one of the more reliable hands through the first three games, but vs the Kings...
- Deandre Ayton didn't have the best start through the first three games, but vs the Kings...
- Devin Booker finally getting a large scoring night vs Kings

Plus other key stats for the team (defensive, free throws, etc.)
- solid free throw shooting rant btw

We also believe in giving credit where it is due. Mikal Bridges, Landry Shamet, and Elfrid Payton have been DAWGS in their roles through four games. 

We would be doing an injustice to the sport of basketball and the listeners of Suns Mode if we didn't acknowledge good play on the other side. Last week, we said Harrison Barnes was somebody that can win games for the Kings. This week, we talk about him making a super-difficult-buzzer-beating-game-winning three pointer on the Suns court, yet the Harrison Barnes narrative in 2021 will tell you he is a bum. Apparently, if I hadn't said anything about Barnes last week, everybody would've been surprised to see Barnes score the way he did. I don't gotta be Phil Jackson to know basketball. I see ballers and I talk about them when the Suns play against them. Harrison a baller. 

And that's what we talk about. As you can see, it is kinda all over the place, but the main goal is to recap the good and bad (mostly bad) from the previous week and gather everything we need to have a positive week come ahead of us. Next game mentality. First, the Cavs; then, the Pelicans. 

Make sure to join me next Thursday, as I will have a new week of Suns Mode content, ready for the enjoyment of basketball fans all around the world! Thank you for listening.
