As do I.

I love his game tho. And I wish that the offense would allow GP more touches. He's a great PG to have, and we aren't utilizing him to the fullest. About the minutes, I don't really know what he's complaining about. He plays 33.6 mpg, Shaq is at 35.3, and Kobe is at 36.8. He's just 3 min off of what Kobe plays, that's not that much. And he did get kicked out of 2 games early, so that would affect those number slightly. But I do see him sitting more than he should sometimes.

I agree with a poster above tho, when the playoffs start, he won't be complaining about too little minutes. Phil is notorious for going with an extremely short rotation during the playoffs, giving his starters heavy minutes. So, once that happens, and GP is well rested from the "lack of minutes" during the season, hopefully he'll be happy about it.
