Locked On Suns - Daily Podcast On The Phoenix Suns Locked on Podcast Network

Sam Amick of The Athletic joined the show to give us a dispatch after his brilliant profile of Chris Paul went up at The Athletic last week. We discuss Paul's state of mind, how he's thinking about free agency this summer, and whether this Suns team can help him overcome past failings. Then we look back on Monty Williams choosing the Suns over the Lakers and why he's been perfect in Phoenix. To close, Sam explains why rival NBA teams believe the Suns are for real as a contender.

Ben Golliver of the Washington Post joins the show to discuss how Chris Paul has changed the Suns, why CP3 is a lock for Ben's All-NBA team, and how good it feels to see the Suns be competitive in the Western Conference again. We also discuss Ben's upcoming book, 'Bubbleball,' which documents the incredible basketball and trying times of the NBA Bubble last summer.

Coming to you straight away after a brilliant 118-110 Suns win over the Knicks, it's time to tip our hats to Devin Booker for finishing the road trip much better than he started it and willing the Suns to victory in the Big Apple. We also saw Torrey Craig start for the first time as a Sun as the forward rotation continues to shift. And after a 3-2 finish to this tough East Coast trip, the Suns sit just one game back of Utah for the No. 1 overall seed.

Brandon Duenas of Bright Side of the Sun and Zona Hoops joins the show to bring a healthy dose of optimism after the Suns beat two of the top three seeds in the East this week. We get into why the Suns couldn't keep pace with Brooklyn as well as why Torrey Craig has fit in Phoenix so well and could keep rising in the rotation. To close the show, a new segment featuring a game called 'What's the Rule?' in which we bare our souls and reveal which NBA and sports rules we don't understand as well as we should.

On the second night of a back to back, the Suns fought impressively but didn't get any favors from the rim or the referees. The numbers back up that the Suns don't get calls compared to their opponents, but what can they do about it? Last, a look at how Kemba Walker got hot, the rotation with Jae Crowder out, and why the Suns need Mikal Bridges to be more consistent on offense.
