Locked On Suns - Daily Podcast On The Phoenix Suns

On today’s episode, we break down the continued rise of Mikal Bridges, who was one of the most impactful players on either side of tonight’s 118-101 Suns loss in Oklahoma City.

We talk about what it would take to see Bridges start, why Trevor Ariza isn’t helping this team, and how T.J. Warren’s emergence as a more versatile player helps this team play its ideal style around Bridges, Devin Booker and Deandre Ayton.

Plus, we toss around some more trade ideas in the aftermath of the Jimmy Butler deal and discuss Jamal Crawford’s best performance of the season.

On today’s episode, we break down the Suns’ second consecutive loss and 10th on the year, a 119-99 gut punch in New Orleans.

From the Suns’ perspective, it was another huge indicator of how big the need is at the point guard spot, with both Devin Booker and Isaiah Canaan playing poorly.

For the Pelicans, it was business as usual. Phoenix just could not handle the combination of Julius Randle and Anthony Davis inside.

Live from Talking Stick Resort Arena, we give our immediate reactions to the Suns' thrilling comeback over the Grizzlies, 102-100.

Not only did Devin Booker score 14 points in the fourth quarter, but Mikal Bridges stepped up and became the Suns' star guard's much-needed partner chipping in 9 of his own. Should Bridges be inserted this early into the starting lineup?

Deandre Ayton had a quiet game, but he was great almost everywhere else, including solid defense on Marc Gasol.

We discuss all of this, and much more, in our usual recap format. This time, we finally are able to discuss a win.

Even though Devin Booker returned to the Suns' starting lineup, it wasn't enough as the 7th straight loss is now on the board. Kawhi Leonard and Kyle Lowry led Toronto in the second half as they put their foot on the gas.

Deandre Ayton had a productive night posting 17 points, 18 rebounds, 2 assists, and 2 blocks on 7-10 FGA. Should the Suns' No. 1 pick become more of a focal point in the offense?

We also ran through Igor Kokoskov's rotation changes as the schedule now gets even tougher over their November stretch.

Despite the loss, the youngsters continue to stand out. This game marked Elie Okobo’s first career start, and two other rookies, Mikal Bridges and De’Anthony Melton, got extended run as well. Will playing through them be the way the Suns turn this around?

Finally, two stats to watch as we head toward the weekend, with two more home games awaiting.

On today’s episode, we get you ready for the Suns’ battle on Halloween night against the new-look San Antonio Spurs at home with Jeff Garcia of News 4 San Antonio and Locked On Spurs.

Without Devin Booker, the Suns will have an uphill battle to handle DeMar DeRozan’s scoring. It will take a big night from Deandre Ayton, who has his own tough matchup against LaMarcus Aldridge inside.

The Spurs, however, come off two straight wins and somehow have maintained solid play without three projected rotation guards, winning in overtime Monday night against Dallas.

We go through all the news with each team and finish with predictions for Wednesday’s game.
