"Marquese Chriss was among the listed inactives; he violated a team rule and was not in the arena."

Sigh. Kind of peg this kid as a knucklehead. Definitely lacking in the maturity department.

Please just sit him until he's 100%

I think we need benders shooting. Warren and Chandler are non shooters. Jackson is improving but is very inconsistent. Booker needs another 3 threat on the court with him.

Let him get ready for the All-Star 3 point contest. Start up again after the break.

[Superbone]

It only makes sense to reward Bender for his great play as of late and punish Chriss for his behavior issue. Start Bender.

Sit him until after the all-star break! Nothing to prove here.

Sounds like it's a challenge to get Booker to sit:

If we sit him now, he can get almost 3 weeks off. Something like 17 or 18 days. Do it.

+1 million.

It's also quite the stealth tank move. Can't say we're sitting him to tank. He's actually injured!

So Chriss spaced the fact he was supposed to do extra conditioning, went to go do the extra conditioning and probably got offended when the conditioning coach tried to explain his responsibility.

My guess is Chriss legitimately just didn't realize he didn't play 20 minutes and assumed the conditioning coach thought he was being a slacker and got defensive.

[specialsauce]

I’m sure the fact that Chriss came into the season fat and still isn’t in the shape that the Suns expect of him factored into his prodding as well.

[Superbone]

I don't like the fact that the situation was leaked and not kept internal.

[JustWinBaby]

I don't like the fact that the situation was leaked and not kept internal.

I agree with you.

Who's responsibility is it to make sure it stays in hous.

Triano's or McDonough's?
