Maybe last season, but we're playing defense (at least around the rim) this season! Still figuring out what defense is on the perimeter. | ||

Pretty cool article. Surprise surprise put a player on a better team with a better coach and all of a sudden he does well. Just goes to show how much the team aspect of basketball matters. One of two things is happening: Either Ellis is the breakout star of small-sample-size theater this year and a regression is coming, or he is in the process of demonstrating something that seems so obvious I hesitate to even write it: Playing for a good team makes individual players appear better, while playing for a bad team makes them look worse. To this point, even our most advanced stats neglect that most basic notion of basketball ecology. Same thing is happening with Earl Clark this year IMO. | ||

Tons of fouls and turnovers but since he hit some shots against bad defenses he's suddenly much better? sure | ||

The point is that he's currently making a case for himself if he can stay consistent. | ||

Miguel Cabrera didn't win the triple crown because he was the best player in baseball, he won it because he was the best hitter on the best team. You can't hit in RBIs if your team sucks, but you can at least pass the eye test for not making boneheaded decisions in basketball. You may not have great options, but there are usually better options and Monta usually took the worst, jacking up a shot. -Basketball is a game about overlapping skills and roles and the most successful players are the ones that know their roles and are utilized as such. Ellis is not and likely will never be what he thought he was on those other teams, a wannabe superstar, so it's no surprise that he looks better with a reduced role that does not expect too much of him. | ||

In the same vein, I'm also getting sick of this Derrick Rose commercial. I'm sure if he were starving in the street he wouldn't be so concerned with basketball, but whatever. | ||
