The Phoenix Suns PROVED After Falling To The 76ers That An Offensive HIERARCHY MATTERS!
Phoenix Suns stumble against the Philadelphia 76ers, but is lineup instability or offensive confusion to blame? Benjamin Garcia questions the lack of hierarchy in the Suns’ offense, spotlighting a troubling shot distribution between Devin Booker and Dillon Brooks. With the team struggling from three-point range and key players like Grayson Allen out, the Suns’ playoff hopes hang in the balance as roles and chemistry remain undefined.
Despite Devin Booker’s career-worst 30% shooting from deep, he’s set for the 3-Point Contest in Los Angeles—can this bold move jumpstart his confidence? Benjamin Garcia unpacks the logic of Booker’s participation, reflects on All-Star snubs like Dillon Brooks, and addresses the Suns’ roller-coaster performances. Plus, who should take control in crunch time: Brooks, Booker, or rising contributors like Jalen Green and Mark Williams? Get the full breakdown of what’s next for Phoenix and why clarity in leadership may be the key to a playoff surge.

Sorry about not doing this show from the arena last night, my wife is about to pop with our first child and last night could've been the night! Still on baby watch! Thanks for y'alls continued love and support ♥
This team peaked. Here comes the spiraling slide to seal their fate and it all started with the GUTLESS TRASH CHOKE JOB to the Warriors. ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC. THIS…TEAM…SUCKS.
And don't let the final score fool you. The Suns were NEVER in this game. They were punked out from start to finish. OSO IS USELESS. Softest alleged "Big Man" I've ever seen. I'd rather bring back Horacio Llamas, Joe Kleine, or dig up and use the corpse of Hot Rod Williams.
I can't think of one bright spot from that game. Maybe that it eventually ended. That was good.
No excuses.
We got our arses kicked.
BUT….. what happened to the relentless ball movement???
Get the high % shots!
Too much hero ball lately.
Brooks forcing shots when swarmed by the D, is cringeworthy bad.
Losing by single digits on a night the shots aren’t falling doesn’t bother me. I’ve seen enough to know the law of averages will prevail.
Playing Oso in the clutch is just unwatchable man! Jordan is just crazy 😂
Offense has been conservative lately 😢
If Dillion brooks is taki g most of your shots late in game… your gonna lose.
Game was close because the Watford 3 didnt count and Booker flopped like 2 3pt free throws. But suns already had no answer from the 2nd quarter.
You absolute idiot suns r winning because they r not feeding only booker u r again sucking bookerdick he can’t win u games but the team has won u multiple
