Game Day (Exhibition): Spurs @ Suns, Thurs 10/16/14

I think that's loading the starting lineup up with too many scorers. That's not needed with Dragic and Bledsoe on the court.

Can't disagree with that logic. I often wonder the same thing with both Goran and Bledsoe...

Bledsoe's not really a scorer per se. He contributes in many ways. I feel Warren's the same. He does what he's supposed to on the court. I'm happy with Bledsoe-Dragic-Warren. I wonder if one of the reasons Hornacek won't play TJ more is because he worries that TJ's success might undermine team chemistry.

I think he is a scorer first and foremost. He is a pretty well-rounded guy, though.

Thats why I prefer mastercard.

I like Hornacek's experimenting, but I think that lineup is just a waste of time. Clearly, Bledsoe, Dragic, and Plumlee are fixtures and it's just the forward spots that are yet to be determined. I really only see value in the following starting forward combos:

Marcus-Markieff
Tucker-Tolliver
Tucker-Markieff
Warren-Tolliver

Agreed.

The only real strength of a Marcus-Tolliver duo is 3-point shooting, but you sacrifice defense and, more importantly, rebounding. You need Tucker or Markieff in there grab some boards.

I'm a bigger fan of Markieff than you are, but if Tolliver shows an ability to hit from long range consistently and provide more than a modicum of defense, I'd be in favor of bring the Morris twins off the bench like last year.

I missed the first 5 minutes. Did Miles get eaten alive by Aaron Baynes?

[OE32]

Kieff doing what he does best: destroy other teams' benches.

[SDC]

there's a reason why the spurs are playing mind games in the preseason vs the suns. the suns will meet them again in our second game of the regular season.

[OE32]

Bledsoe-Thomas-Dragic take the court!

[Xylus]

Plumlee's free throw form looks improved.

At least that's something.

[OE32]

Bledsoe destroying the Spurs on both ends here in the second.

[carey]

Lol @ that Tony Parker flop.

[carey]

Haha. That was an awesome way to end the half. Eric block to IT to Dragic on the break.

[Xylus]

Bledsoe looks like a superstar out there.

Epic Tony Parker flop.

[Xylus]

Dragic-Bledsoe-IT looked unstoppable. Granted, we're playing the Spurs bench, but god damn.

[Xylus]

Suns pouring it on.

The pace in this one is blistering. The Spurs second unit can't keep up with it.

[Xylus]

Bledsoe just blocked the shit out of Ayres

[OE32]

IT can shoot.
