LOCKED ON SUNS 3/4/19: The Phoenix Suns are the Milwaukee Bucks' kryptonite Mar 05, 2019

Show notes

Wow, what a statement that was. The Phoenix Suns defeated the best team in the NBA, becoming the first team to do so twice this season. That’s right, the Suns have swept the Milwaukee Bucks.

We recap the action live from Talking Stick Resort Arena as Phoenix won 114-105 behind career nights from Kelly Oubre Jr. and Deandre Ayton while Devin Booker was his usual self as well. The Suns also deployed a great defensive game plan against one of the league’s best as Booker threw praise in the locker room to former Bucks interim head coach Joe Prunty.

Dare we say are these Suns possibly about to turn a corner with the lowly Knicks coming to town on Wednesday?

LOCKED ON SUNS 3/2/19: Suns stun the Lakers as Ayton and Booker lead the way Mar 03, 2019

Show notes

On today’s episode live from Talking Stick Resort Arena, we recap the Suns’ stunning victory over the Lakers. Deandre Ayton and Devin Booker combined for 51 points while also reviving solid outings from Kelly Oubre Jr., Mikal Bridges and Josh Jackson.

LeBron James nearly put up a triple-double, but Ayton’s solid defense rounded out one of his best all-around performances of the season with 26 points and 10 rebounds. Ayton also netted a career-high in free throw attempts (10-for-14), which could be a sign of things to come.

LOCKED ON SUNS 2/27/19: Reacting to the Woj and James Jones war of words Feb 28, 2019

Show notes

We give you the highlights of Adrian Wojnarowski’s report on the Robert Sarver’s failure to learn from his mistakes and general manager James Jones’ “unorthodox” stance toward the draft and, of course, we react.

Could the NBA really step in here?

The search for a GM is reportedly now underway as well and the Suns also expect to fill many of the positions vacated by the dismissal of Ryan McDonough and his staff in October. We talk about potential candidates and how the franchise could continue to change under Jones’ control.

LOCKED ON SUNS 2/26/19: How the NBA tank race is shaping up around the Suns Feb 26, 2019

Show notes

We break down the bottom seven teams in the NBA as the Suns again find themselves checking in on the reverse standings during the stretch run of the season.

Using this piece over at The Step Back written by yours truly, we discuss the incentives for each team to bottom out over the final 20 games of the year. Some, like the Wizards or Hawks, should ride out the growth of their young players while others, like the Knicks, are right to blow it up.

Finally, we imagine how this all could affect the Suns on draft night.

Show notes

We dive into a comeback victory by the Suns on the road in Miami, 124-121, which featured some aggressive defense to close things out, a savvy drawn foul by Devin Booker to earn a pair of free throws that gave the Suns their eventual winning lead and defense by Deandre Ayton on the final possession to close the game.

We also hit on Troy Daniels’ hot scoring night and whether he might stick in the rotation, why Josh Jackson was doomed to fail defending the 7-foot Kelly Olynyk and the playmaking opportunities Mikal Bridges’ bench role is opening.
