    Glad that Andrew is motivated to prove us wrong, at least now he'll have a better idea of the gameflow.

    Cool news for Kobe too at the end of this piece.

    Prove who wrong? He has nobody to prove wrong. He wasn't given a chance to establish himself in that 1st round.

    That he has come back from the injury 100%?

    That's still proving us wrong in some aspect.

    I think it is clear he isn't 100%. If he was, he wouldn't be feeling any pain. He is healthy enough to play and he proved at the end of the regular season he was healthy enough to contribute. He just needs matchups in his favor. Utah was a terrible matchup for him. Especially the games that Okur played in.

    Millsap was owning his ass in game five, I just hope that doesn't happen again. As long as he plays defense I don't mind if he's a mediocre offensive player. He's just in a slump; I do believe in Drew but he has some things to get done.

    Millsap is no slouch. He is a very active player and was a huge player for the Jazz this year. He'd give anyone fits who is coming back from an MCL tear.

    Millsap is the wrong matchup for Bynum and Utah was able to spread the floor and allow Millsap to operate one on one against Bynum. I think Bynum should have just let Millsap try to shoot a jumper instead of being taken off the dribble. I didn't expect much out of Bynum this post season and I'll take whatever he can give us. He should be more effective in the next round for us.

    Those are my sentiments about Millsap.

    However, I do expect Bynum to produce once he can get himself established. I think he'll establish himself this round, and when we get by the team we face, he'll be ready to be that 15 and 10 guy that we need with solid defense.
