    Well the number is adjusted to who he is playing with, which unfortunately is the less than stellar Casspi, Dmo, Asik and Garcia. But i agree that his season as been inconsistent in the traits that were strengths last year i.e. assists. Last year he consistently made plays to set up Parsons, Harden and Asik etc but now he is primarily a spot up shooter and driver to the basket in order to look for his own shot. He needs to learn how to meld the two games together because i dont think his future in the NBA will ever be a true starting pg. His handle isnt strong enough and he doesnt control the floor enough. I think his role will always be the off the bench scoring guard or third guard role i.e. Jason Terry or Bobby Jackson. He needs to learn how to affect the game positively even without scoring. I would like to see Lin be more aggressive going for steals and rebounding, especially since he should careless about foul trouble. His triple double game should be a norm...in other words he should be a 13pts 5 rebs 5 assists 2 steals guy every night and not the 15 pts 1 assist night he's putting up this season

    Haha so the spurs are playing the big 3, just nobody else, lol. My guess is he's giving the roleplayers a rest game, and having parker, duncan and ginobili play bench like minutes so the fill ins aren't being asked to play for 48 minutes.

    Why do you think she ran the red light and then smash into Parsons in the first place?

    Woman wanting autograph: "PARSONS!!! STOP!!! WAIT!!! STOP PLEASE!!! I NEED YOUR AUTOGRAPH!!! STOP!!!".

    She then realised that Parson isn't stopping for her...

    This is both clever and true. I'll be really curious to see how we reach to a pressure situation against a high caliber team. The playoffs sort of begin tonight!

    I know, Green and Mills scare the s**t out of new too. I can't imagine how many wide opens shots they would have with the way we've been playing defense lately.
