We'd be much better served with Farmar/Brown taking up all the minutes. The sad thing is Phil Jackson would rather lose than do that.
I noticed that he looks a step or two slower and has trouble keeping guys in front of him. That's what happens when players get older. Believe me, I know and have seen my share of them with the Spurs.

What's more curious to me is why PJ will not give more minutes to Farmer/Brown combo.
