IMO he's been very good in this series, save for the last few minutes in game 4. Great on D and on the glass. Hoping that the ball movement picks back up tonight and he gets involved offensively as well.

We aren't seeing the same guy. I'm seeing a guy who I don't believe is 28 but that's a side issue. He has been declining for years. His point totals dropping, his blocks dissapearing and his old legs can't provide the base for his shooting anymore. Biggest game of the season and he puts up 3 pts and 2 rebounds. Mighty big waste of a lot of money IMO. But hey IF he makes a big basket along the way to get them to the Finals then I change my opinion to worth every penny.
