Locked On Suns - Daily Podcast On The Phoenix Suns

Gina Mizell of Suns.com joins the show to get you ready for a massive Game 5 in the Valley, from what we can expect regarding Anthony Davis, the Suns' ability to regain momentum and weather The Look from LeBron James in Game 4, and why Deandre Ayton is suddenly a lock to play well after so much uncertainty heading into the series. But first, Gina takes you inside Staples Center to break down the Lakers' bench trying to clown Jae Crowder, the positive signs she saw from Chris Paul during warmups, and much more.

Brandon Duenas of Bright Side of the Sun and Zona Hoops joins the show as he does every Monday to break down a ridiculous Suns win, 100-92, over the Lakers in Game 4 to even the series at 2-2 and give the Suns new life in the first round. Chris Paul looked mostly like his old self again, came up big in the clutch, and made everyone around him better as the Suns got a balanced scoring performance in the victory. Of course, Deandre Ayton and Cameron Payne also stepped up as they have all series, and the Suns' three-point shooting started to stabilize. Heading into Game 5, it looks like CP3 may be healing up, while Anthony Davis missed most of this one with a groin injury and was getting tests done after the game. We have ourselves a series again.

Coming to you after a 109-95 Suns loss to the Lakers in Game Three, it's do or die time. We saw the Suns lose their composure and start to crack during a dominant Lakers third quarter, but this L.A. team still looks mortal. To beat them, it'll take a bounce-back performance from Devin Booker and more urgency in their decisions, including playing Cam Payne over Chris Paul, getting creative with defensive matchups to stop Anthony Davis, and finding shooting at all costs.

To start the show, hear your questions get answered on how the Suns can make up for a depleted Chris Paul, how to survive the minutes when Deandre Ayton is off the floor, and whether Jevon Carter could make an appearance in the series. Listen for Monty Williams' comments on why he's playing Dario Saric over Torrey Craig. Then to close, it's time to get to the bottom of whether Anthony Davis actually "answered the call" in Game Two or just got a nicer whistle from the refs. Could the Suns get Davis into foul trouble once again in Game Three?

Brandon Duenas of Bright Side of the Sun and Zona Hoops joins the show to recap another messy and hard-fought Suns-Lakers game, this time ending with an L.A. win to even the series at 1-1. We discuss what Monty Williams said about Chris Paul and whether CP3 should consider sitting for Game Three, plus the maturation of Devin Booker, the consistency of Deandre Ayton, and who needs to step up going forward in the series aside from Booker, Ayton and Cam Payne.

Duane Rankin of the Arizona Republic joins the show in the aftermath of a whirlwind Game One to recalibrate and set the stage for Game Two in Phoenix on Tuesday night. With Chris Paul expected to play after a shoulder stinger, what can we expect the Suns to change for this matchup, and how are the young Suns already so disciplined on not giving anything up in press conferences? We also go deep on what was real and not real from the Lakers, including their shooting performance, LeBron not looking to score, and the big man rotation.

Fresh off a wild, thrilling 99-90 Phoenix Suns win over the Lakers in Game One of the Western Conference first round series, it's time to celebrate YOU, the fans. The home crowd showed up in full force and made a real impact on the game, and the Suns needed it with an injury to Chris Paul, an ejection for Cam Payne, and a full 48 minutes of excellence to take down the favored Lakers. But it wasn't just the crowd, the Suns executed at a high level, forcing Anthony Davis into a miserable game and keeping the ball moving against LA's pressure defense. To close the show, a list of things to watch for in Game Two based on what we saw on Sunday.

In a very special weekend episode of the show, Suns forward Cameron Johnson joins the show to give an update on his status ahead of Game One against the Lakers, discuss the team's response watching the play-in game on Wednesday, how badly they wanted the eighth seed, and more. We close by discussing the Suns' recent challenges on defense, what the keys to beating the Lakers will be, and why Cam doesn't want any Suns fans selling their tickets to Laker fans this week.

With just two days to go before Game 1 of Suns-Lakers, it's time for a crossover show between Locked On Suns and Locked On Lakers, previewing the series from every angle. We discuss the latest on both teams heading into the postseason, including the health of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, how the Suns can match up when the Lakers go big vs. small, what Devin Booker and Chris Paul will need to do in the series, and whether Mikal Bridges can defend LeBron by himself, and how the Suns' team defense will look.

P.S. There's another show on the way Friday featuring a very special interview with a Suns player!
