Knight plays so much better coming off the bench.

Or maybe not.

Yeah, that start was incredibly impressive.

Right, we could have won so many more games with those starts. :lol:

That Booker 3 was a 2!!! The ref was looking right at it.. Obvious foot on the line.

Hornacek just playing everyone. No rhyme or reason to his rotations. He changed the starting lineup but he is not going back to it. He would rather play three point guards at the same time. Idk what is going on in his brain. You only need one point guard on the floor. Not two. And especially not three. Hornacek is lost.

Great move by Knight!

I don't like Price at all. He brings very little to the table.

If both Bledsoe and Knight played well at the same time we would be unbeatable.

Bledsoe can't shoot on the 2nd night of back-to-back games. He has too much muscle and I think it causes him to be too tired and misses shots.

2-9 free throws. I guess Utah rarely ever fouls?

It's impossible to predict which of our players will have a good or bad game any given night.

Maybe Warren is the most consistant.

He needs to use the same "supplements" as his muscular buddy LeBron.

You realize he's not doing this to build the youngsters up, right? He's doing this because his job is on the line so he's doing what he thinks is most likely to win this individual game. I have wanted Tucker benched and traded for awhile, so I'm fine starting Warren. I completely disagree with benching Knight. But what I most question is how a brand new lineup in which none of the guys have played a single minute together as a unit gives you the best chance of winning. It really makes me question Hornacek even more.

I think Bledsoe and Leuer have played quite a bit with Booker and Warren. I was going to say I thought you wanted Warren to start? Don't you think our bench would REALLY suffer without either Warren or Knight on it? I also don't really want Warren to be the 3rd option playing with both Knight and Bledsoe.

I meant the 5 as a group who started the game have played 0 minutes together as a unit all year. I want Warren and Len to start. I also want Knight traded with others for a stud PF so Booker can then start, or to use Booker at the 3 more so he gets 30+ minutes a night regardless, keeping 3 of our offensive differencemakers on the floor as much as possible.

I'm just saying it makes me question Hornacek because of the situation he is in. If I was in his situation, I make this move earlier in the year or next game after getting that unit more practice together, but not against Utah coming off a back to back. I wonder if McD and him had a sit down, come to Jesus moment, after last game. Archie is playing now too. Maybe McD is putting in his own influence in the rotation right now.

I sometimes wonder if it goes higher up than that. Ever since Sarver bet the team, they have traded a high first round pick (2004) sold draft picks, and have NEVER played young guys much. Two years ago, when McD took over, that began to change little by little, and continues to change more and more.

Many older fans (lets put Sarver in this category) do not want to watch young guys develop. They just don't. I emailed by dad you never watches the Suns due to disinterest, saying "the game could be exciting because Warren and Booker are starting" then I realized he will tune in and see raw players losing and think they suck. That's simply the mentality of many fans.

I'd wager Knight misses more passes out of the PnR than he makes lol.

I'm starting to get somewhat annoyed at Chandler.

I like Price. Yes he doesn't offer much offensively but you must admit he is our best defender
