Suns might not make the playoffs

The Suns might not make the playoffs. Despite Durant's impressive performance, including becoming the eighth player in NBA history to score 30,000 career points, the Suns are struggling to find consistency. With a current record of 29-33, the Suns are 11th in the Western Conference standings, three games behind the Dallas Mavericks for the final play-in spot. The team's recent win over the Los Angeles Clippers was a much-needed boost, but they still have a tough road ahead.

Durant, known for his competitive drive, is urging his teammates to focus on the present moment rather than worrying about the playoffs. "We can't focus too far down the line because we don't know what's going to happen," he said. "Everything should be right in the moment. That's what we focus on. The next possession should be the most important". The Suns' upcoming schedule won't make things any easier. Their next six games are against teams with records better than.500, including a crucial matchup against the Mavericks that will have significant playoff implications.

Despite the challenges ahead, Durant remains optimistic about the team's chances. "We'll just continue to communicate, play physical, do our work early," he said. "We got to just play a little harder, up our intensity, physicality, and we'll be fine"

Only time will tell if the Suns can turn their season around and make a push for the playoffs. One thing is certain, though: with Kevin Durant leading the charge, they'll be fighting until the very end.
