I would say for a team with Derek Fisher as the only other point guard on the roster, 38 minutes wouldn't be unreasonable. Obviously they were taking it slow this year with Westbrook, so his minutes were down, but generally he played around 40 in prior seasons. To me, 32 minutes says he isn't doing enough to earn more time, because the minutes are there if Brooks wants him to have them.

As an example, look at Darren Collison's minutes in Paul's stead.

Reggie himself admitted his defense has been sub-par. Not sure there is much more to add to that.
