WARREN 3 MINUTES?? I can't believe it.
Tyson, Tucker and Knight all the time on the court?
OMG.

I agree it is ridiculous.

I think it is one of three reasons.

They want to trade PJ and they want him to get minutes, and they want to trade Markieff, so they don't want to move PJ to the 4, allowing TJ to play the 3.

TJ is ailing for some reason.

(Hopefully not this one) They still don't want to give up on the season and since Indiana plays big, we don't go small, and they want PJ's energy out there and a bigger, tougher lineup.

Probably they are trying to "sell" Tuker, Markieff and Teletovic to the rest of the league but with that situation they are not taking into account Warren's feelings. This guy is young and quiet, but he can be seriously unsatisfied about his situation.

No one see Dragic's reaction coming last year.... Warren can demand a trade if this is his role for the next 10 games before trade deadline.

I am concerned about the situation.

Yeah, but with Dragic, he could demand it because he could leave. Warren won't demand it, and if the reason he isn't playing is to sell those guys, he will soon (if trades go through) get plenty of minutes and be happy. Warren is my favorite player along with Booker so I hate not seeing him play, and I will be extremely pissed if the trade deadline passes and PJ Tuckers is still playing a ton of minutes and Warren few. But that would REALLY surprise me. I just think there are too many factors in play to jump to conclusions about anything.

Was Warren just taken out after one play?

Warren in the bench again.
Jesus Christ

Warren gets to play? this is like nba 2k when you have to wait for a player to get hurt before you can actually get some play time.

its really like 2k when you get subbed out for no reason a play later on a dead ball

Where's the accountability? I don't get it. Other coaches would've sat him. He's not a rookie who needs to learn by playing through mistakes. And Jeff has no problem playing Brown. Yet, somehow, Warren is a non factor. Watch, we'll play Weems soon.

Hornacek has something called 'favorite player syndrome' where he plays his favorites more minutes (Price, Knight, Tucker)over others that are more deserving of playing time that could really contribute to the team.

We gave up the LAL pick for a poor man's Dion Waiters.

OH BOY

Brandon Knight does not understand the idea of "feed the hot hand." Booker hit that three and Knight came back on the next play and launched a terrible looking three after no one else touched the ball. But I guess he deserves to keep playing and Warren should go home.

Anyone see Archie has an Avery Bradley type of player? playing suffocating defense but not much else until a few years from now being a rotational player and making a difference?

Did Markieff look really hurt?

TJ plays 3 minutes and gets yanked for a bad play.

Brandon plays 26 minutes of pure garbage basketball and Jeff doesnt do a thing.

If that doesnt kill the player's respect for the coach, nothing else will. Double standards.

Pretty sure every team in the NBA could rest all of their starters every game against the Suns and they'd still struggle to win 8 more games this season.

Yes
The moment he gets a coach that sits him down, tells him how to play defense strategically.. he will be a beast defensively.

I watch him defend and one on one, he does change shots and make it harder for the offensive players... BUT... he gets screened easily. He doesnt know yet, how to counter those. Only defense focused coaches can teach those.
