Garcia analyzes Devin Booker's stellar 37-point performance and explains why the Suns desperately need Jalen Green and Dylan Brooks back from injury to provide secondary shot creation. He examines how Golden State's role players like Moses Moody and Quinton Post beat Phoenix despite Steph Curry and Jimmy Butler struggling, and delivers pointed criticism of Oso Ighodaro's offensive struggles and questionable rotation decisions. Garcia also addresses Dylan Brooks' costly technical foul from the bench and what the upcoming softer schedule means for getting healthy players back.

 

Tune in for an honest assessment of where this young Suns team stands and what needs to change moving forward.
