    With Amare out the Suns haven't found a consistent frontcourt lineup to play night in and night out. They have tried pairs of Voskuhl/Williams, White/Williams, Voskuhl/Harvey, and just about everything else. Do you think it is good or bad that the Suns keep doing this? On the plus side it keeps players ready to go at all times because they don't know when they'll go in. On the flip side, guys don't really get a feel for consistency when they play. They might not have enough time to warm-up and really get ready for the game to make maximum impact. If I had to choose I'd say it's a good thing because it shows just what the players they have available can do while being put in certain game situations.

    I guess the Suns have found their lineup that they like. Voskuhl/Harvey to start with Jahidi coming off the bench as the first sub for either of them. That lineup has done very well for the Suns. When Amare comes back it will probably be even stronger with Jahidi and Harvey coming off of the bench.

    first of all, I'm amazed with the way u moderate the forum, although it lacks posters, but u still write previews and do a great effort at keeping this forum alive .. my hat off man ,,, people should appreciate this more !

    ....

    secondly, I think it's not a good idea to keep changing the front court rotation, the Wizards have FIVE big men in their rotation which absolutly creates uncosistency in the players ...
    I think he changes it dependingon the match ups .. but still .. it's not good for the players to keep changing their roles !

    Thanks for the props, AC. I've been trying to get some more Suns posters here, but I guess I'll have to try harder because the results aren't exactly too good right now.

    You're right about players changing their roles. The player that's probably most affected by that right now is Scott Williams. He goes from being a vital big man on the team to racking up DNP's as of late.

    Nice example with the Wizards. That is probbaly one of the bigger things hindering Kwame's progress. Jahidi White came from the Wizards too so this might be a little frustruating for him going from one team that constantly changes lineups to another.
