Locked On Suns - Daily Podcast On The Phoenix Suns

We break down the Suns’ agonizing 126-124 last-second loss to Rudy Gay and the Spurs, their third loss at the buzzer in January.

Despite the misfortune of Gay’s shot going in over great defense from Mikal Bridges, Phoenix should feel great about how they played. The Suns shot 60 percent from the field and closed the game with a miniature lineup featuring Kelly Oubre Jr. at center. 

Devin Booker also turned in a highlight-reel performance, scoring 38 points on 14-19 shooting in one of his best games of the year.

We break down the tough losses in Denver and Los Angeles, with frustrations mounting toward a players-only meeting in Denver on Friday night after the Suns’ worst loss of the year. Currently on pace for 18 wins, where do the Suns go from here?

Plus, Anthony Davis is officially on the trade block, whether the Pelicans like it or not. Davis and his agent Rich Paul (you know him) have asked New Orleans to trade the star big man ASAP. Do the Suns have a competitive package? Is it worth it? If not, where does AD land?

On today’s episode of Locked On Suns, we come to you live from Talking Stick Resort Arena to recap the Suns’ 120-106 loss at home to the Portland Trail Blazers with our usual free throws, flagrant fouls, and stats to watch.

Even though Devin Booker was on fire in the first quarter, it didn’t matter much as nobody else really stepped up around him plus Portland outmuscled Phoenix on the glass big-time.

Kelly Oubre Jr. continues to be a valuable bench spark plug with another solid outing tonight, but why isn’t he in the starting lineup? Listen in to find out if we agree with starting Josh Jackson over Oubre Jr.

We react to the Woj Bomb declaring Mike Conley and Marc Gasol available, why Conley is such a great fit with the Suns and what a trade could look like with Memphis.

Then, we break down the Suns’ 118-91 loss to Minnesota at home, specifically what led to Devin Booker’s ejection in the third quarter. Before Booker became a meme, he played a quiet game and looked off from the start. Then he got into a fight with Timberwolves big man Gorgui Dieng and nearly fought him in the bowels of Talking Stick Resort Arena before security intervened. 

It was an embarrassing situation within an embarrassing loss.

We break down The Pascal Siakam Game, as this one will probably forever be known.

Despite Devin Booker’s 30-8 game and magical second half, the Raptors’ depth stole the show at home. Without Kawhi Leonard, Toronto managed a 2-point victory over the Suns.

We also hit on the inevitable Kelly Oubre Jr./T.J. Warren swap as Warren’s funk continues, the poor play from the rookie point guards and Deandre Ayton not taking a single shot in the second half.
