We check in on the NBA at the quarter-season mark, with a few things that stand out to me, as well as a quick run-down of the teams in both conferences.

We give the home team a lot of love in this episode, as we check in on the Phoenix Suns, one of the more surprising NBA teams in the league so far. We discuss what fans should expect for the rest of the season. Are they poised to continue to surprise? Will they fall back to the bottom? We give you four reasons to keep your expectations in check, but then five good reasons to look forward to a sunnier season in the Valley.
