Do the Suns Have a Ref Problem or a Dillon Brooks Problem?

Dillon Brooks and the Phoenix Suns once again find themselves at the center of controversy — but this time, the biggest question isn’t just about the opponent. Is this another example of inconsistent officiating hurting the Suns, or is Brooks crossing the line and daring refs to respond?

On this episode, we break down the plays, the whistles (or lack thereof), and the growing frustration surrounding how the Suns are being officiated. Is there a real pattern with the referees when Phoenix faces physical, agitator-style defenders like Dillon Brooks? Or are the Suns failing to adjust to playoff-level intensity?
