They don't bring any luck anyways.

I'll be at the game tonight, mid level. Watson better play the rookies after that god awful bench performance on Sunday!

Uh oh

[NTB]

More time for Chriss maybe?

Where are good luck charms?

They don't bring any luck anyways.

Blasphemy!

They don't bring any luck anyways.

They were still nicer to look at than Knight jacking up air balls.

They don't bring any luck anyways.

Since the sample is small your conclusion cannot be considered final. Until proven otherwise it is probably wiser to have them instead of not having them.

They don't bring any luck anyways.

OK, added.

[Saberestar]

Oh my... We need Chandler to play tonight.

[Midnight_Suns]

Don't care about Tyson if it means the rooks get to play.

[GetYourPHX]

It'll really be too bad if Tyson doesn't play tonight. The Portland crowd hates him and Tyson always eggs them on. It's a hilarious side show to the game.

I heard Earl Watson will play PJ Tucker as a small ball center.

Hopefully Watson finds some minutes for Bender as well. This game and beyond.

Marquese Chriss will move into the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Portland, sending Jared Dudley to the bench.
This is going to be a permanent lineup change for Earl Watson, and it'll be interesting to see how Chriss fares in tonight's uptempo matchup with the Trail Blazers.

Moving Chriss to permanent power forward on game 8 of his rookie season shows me that Watson has confidence in his ability to develop right now, no need to let him get a couple of years experience from the bench. That, plus Dudley really hasn't been showing anything at all playing out of position as a starting 4.

Good move Earl!

What's interesting is that this shift is happening despite how poorly Chriss has played thus far.

Putting both Tucker and Dudley on the bench is a problem as well. They're extremely similar players.

Wow, that's huge. That will be fun to watch, though it will probably hurt our first unit. But more importantly, it will definitely help our second unit.

Chriss played 1.5 minutes against LA and now he is a starter? Weird. Not that I have anything against this but I will wait with celebrations until I will see it. After first game Watson said that rookies are his new bench squad and then he didn't played them.
