    That's the issue "can shoot lights out", never comes up big against the Dallas, San Antonio, Utah, or Phoenix, why, he has to play D, which takes a lot of energy out of your jump shot. He rarely gets to the bucket.

    Luther leads the team in Assist to turnover ratio at 5-1, if anything he should be playing MORE minutes not less.

    He's plus almost every night, people just don't understand he's playing less than 15 minutes a game, and he can't put up crazy numbers. If any of you noticed, once Luther makes a mistake he's immediately benched. If anything Francis is overrated by this board. Luther could have a 20 point game and the same people who criticize him would either say nothing and wait for the next time he messes up or criticize him anyways. He's averaging .4 turnovers each game, how can you find a fault in that. Head can't gaurd the Kobes and Lebrons, but Adalmen trusts him with regular players. Let it rest, we winning. Save the whining for when we're losing.

    More minutes would hurt his ratio :( . He's fine playing the minutes he has. The less minutes he plays, the less chances of him making a mistake (turnover).

    well I'm gonna make it one. :D

    Luther's good for at least 2 boneheaded mistakes every night. Now I know he hasn't had a chance to get into an offensive rythm with his significantly reduced minutes, but if he can't figure it out with the time he gets on the court, and still continues to make boneheaded decisions, I think it's time to give Franchise those 10 minutes a game.

    how quickly people forget. you think Luther's 2 boneheaded mistakes every night is bad, trust me, Francis will quickly remind you why he was traded in the first place.

    oh i know Stevie got issues too, but at least he'll do something else with his time. maybe get a rebound or two. Head seems to just be lost out there for some reason. It's like he's been neutered or something.

    Steve (in Luthers role) will not "kill us" when he is out there and the potential upside of having him get some minutes>>>>>>>>>>>>Luther playing well, that is "playing well" in Luther terms ie. only a few head scratchers and he hit's 2-3 wide open shots
