Knight's ball handling is atrocious. There is nothing else to say. This guy is an embarrassment.

LOL. Yes, Knight is the only issue. Not butter fingers Leuer or falling down Tucker.

I probably have better handles than him. And I'm a streetballer who was a backup on varsity

Those guys are not being paid 70 million dollars.

The way our lineup is and with the way we run offensive sets, I don't think we can beat anyone. Obviously they've proved that over the past 9 games.

Knight needs a better coach. The guy is so talented. As someone said before, I'm not giving up on him. Jeff just doesn't coach well.

Kidd worked his magic and got the best out of him at point. When he has the green light he just holds back the rest of the team. What you see is what you get

we've lost to pretty much every bad team, except the Lakers right?

I think it probably most has to do with, since Knight takes so many shots, as should Booker, that he needs to be in there when they all sit. If they all sit at the same time, this team is truly terrible when going to the bench.

I still expect him to get a ton of minutes. It's just more of optimizing players WHEN they play. If Knight doesn't become a pure passing guy, he marginalizes both Booker and Tucker. Maybe Booker gets less marginalized if he is the only one in there with Knight, and when either of the other 2 sits, the other two are in there. If you just have Knight/Booker, Booker/Warren, or Knight/Warren in there at all times that means we always have scoring punch in the lineup and each still gets a minimum of 32 minutes, but they could all play together some too, so they should each eventually get more than that.

But if Knight starts to pass more instead of overdribble, they should all start.

It also helps if we start out slow, we can inject Warren for some instant offense.

Instant offense? Our team is TERRIBLE, we probably are losing by 15 points when Warren sees the court. We can NOT have that luxury like contenders who doesn't put all their best players starting the game ( like Ginobili or Terry years ago).

This is more simple....Hornacek tries all the starting lineups and see if they win a game. Just that. He doesn't even make analysis anymore. It is embarrassing.

No, he looks at which lineups work best and studies the numbers and obviously the last one didn't work well. If your bench is going to get destroyed it doesn't help other. It's not that I don't want Warren to start, it's that I can understand why he doesn't.
