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.

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?

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.

Plumlee's free throw form looks improved.
At least that's something.

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

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

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