Chriss is so f***ing awful.

He's lucky the Suns have Knight or else we would all be b***ching about him instead.

I don't get why Bender doesn't start over him instead.

Chriss is playing shit defense is 2-13 from the floor and is still in there. Meanwhile if Bender sneezes wrong he gets yanked.

Really makes me wonder what actually gets you subbed out on this team. Chriss just can't even come close to guarding Griffin yet they leave him out there to get shown up with no help. Keeping Chriss in definitely reduces our chances to win this game by a lot yet he will still get his minutes. Other players are pulled after a few mistakes. It is just really odd how Watson goes about things.

Why is Chriss taking so many shots?

The Clippers aren't guarding him at the three point line.

Someone in Reddit said it's because Watson is black and is gonna prefer the black player Chriss over Bender.

Obviously it's silly but games like this makes me wonder. Sure Chriss had a good game last game but if he's struggling tonight then take him out and let Bender play instead of watching Chriss chuck away.

Griffin is literally double teaming off of Chriss.

Looked bad at first. Probably a flagrant 1 for hitting the head.

That has to be a flagrant. He didn't go for the ball.

Holy crap is Chriss actually crying? Damn I haven't seen a Suns player actually cry in a while.

Could be a Euro bias. He played Len a lot last season but this year both him and Bender have been on a short leash.

Hahaha I love that they called it a flagrant 2 because I love watching Doc rivers and all the Clippers complain and whine.

It literally gets me a boner to see that Doc Rivers "wtfff noo" look.

I mean he didn't remotely go for the ball. I can't argue that ejection.

Chandler didn't even consider going out there to guard Griffin.

Chriss is going to play the whole third quarter. At least one of our rookies is getting time.

He just needs 7 in the 4th to get it.
