He's not, and everyone knows this.
Was I the one that Instagrammed an obvious sarcastic headline and take it at face value and then acted all offended? Oh, nope. That wasn't me. That was Wade.

you can try and make a case for drexler.....but Wade is better
I wasn't the one that posted the Instagram you dummy, it was someone with a Lebron James avatar. I pointed out that Wade is a dummy for taking the headline at face value and acting offended.
Why are Heat fans such pot-heads?

Wade wasn't offended by that tweet. He was just showing and laughing at how joke/bitter of a franchise Cavaliers has become after LeBron.

What's funny is Monta still sucks.
Did you know that Dallas is 9 points better when Monta is on the bench?
The truth is Dallas is better this year because they have some other better players and Dirk is back to being elite yet no one is talking about Dirk (almost 14 points better when in the game!)

lawl even Sactown isn't that dumb
They'd be lucky to get Isaiah and a contract to make the math work--asking for Ben and picks to go with it? lol

Hmm... Interesting.
Rondo, Gay, Boogie future?
I could see Rondo and Cousins coming to blows on the court.

He plays 30 minutes and shows little ability other than finishing alley-oops and getting the amount of rebounds anyone his height should.
If you count that as acting offended you might wanna re-evaluate who here is really sensitive

You are so touchy reillo.
why are Celts always trying to trade Rondo? Rondo is probably the franchise player that gets the most mention in trades.

No es buen momento tener una lesión. Espero volver pronto y poder ayudar al equipo en este momento en que más se necesita de todos.

Knicks also apparenty recalled Chris Smith from the D-league. Its almost admirable how many new frontiers of shit the Knicks discover. Haters havent seen anything yet.

It's not a good time to have a... something. I hope to return soon and be able to help the team in this moment when needed more than ever? My spanish is a bit rusty.
Oh right, because there's no obvious precedent to this...
Wade NEVER gets offended over what someone else says. He especially doesn't post about it on Instagram, either.

Just that your remark was a wee bit dumb and way off target, that's all.

If his career lasts as long as Drexler's, I don't think his numbers will be as good.
time to up your protein game, bruh.
How many times are you going to take those +/- numbers out of context? Dallas is +16 in the Calderon/Ellis/Marion/Dirk/Dalembert lineup. The numbers are skewed by the Calderon/Ellis/Wince/Marion/Blair lineup which is -32 for obvious reasons which can't be blamed solely on Ellis.
Dirk is obviously in much better shape this season, but there's also no question for anyone who watches the games or looks at the stats in context that Ellis has made things easier for Dirk.
The real problem for the Mavs is that their center rotation is trash and Marion and Wince are both done.

How bout S&T granger and something for rondo? Lol
Ed: idk if salaries would work, but my guess is it can.
I don't even think that should be debatable.

The Mavs are better with Ellis on the bench than Carter on the bench.
All of Carter's numbers with Nowitzki are also good, just like Ellis'.
The main problem is that the Calderon-Ellis lineup cannot defend anyone at all.
Calderon-Ellis-Marion-Nowitzki-Dalembert + 4
Mekel-Carter-Crowder-Nowitzki-Blair +12
Monta's WS/48 has also dropped to just slightly above average on the season as it's dipped a bit of late. Last 9 games shooting 42% and barely getting to the FT line.
Ellis-Calderon was always going to be the worst backcourt in the NBA on defense and it shows. The team cannot rebound when Ellis is in the game, which was always true for the Warriors and the Bucks.
I specifically mentioned that if Ellis starts to regress to his norm on offense, his +/- will turn south fast. I've been right. When I last brought it up, he was -1 to +1 on the team. Since his numbers regressed the last 9, his total has dipped to -8.
By the end of this season, you're going to be eating the crow i serve.

Mamba, are you getting those numbers from bbref, stats.nba or vorped?
LOL okay. Last year Ellis was +3.5 on the Bucks despite putting up career lows. Now he's putting up better numbers on the Mavs but has a negative rating.
Mamba logic: Ellis was obviously a better player last year. Context and the other players on the court don't matter. Please ignore that virtually all of the Mavs' best lineups this year include Ellis.

They were -1 with Ellis out there. Their bench was worse, however, so they were 3 points better with him on the floor but still negative, overall.
Dallas is positive with him on the bench and negative with him out there. Calderon-Ellis cannot defend anyone.

But whether he's positive or not depends entirely on the other players on the court. The largest sample size is the Calderon/Ellis/Marion/Dirk/Dalembert lineup, which is +16.
It would be more accurate to say that Calderon and Ellis should only both be on the court at the same time when Dirk is also in the lineup. It's the Calderon/Ellis/Wince/Marion pairing which is really killing them. Hopefully with Wright back they will stop playing Marion so much at PF.

Amare already said he disagrees with Woodson's assessment... is ANYBODY on Woodson's side these days? I feel bad for the guy.

Don't worry, you get the Bucks up next game. They won't let you lose.

Amare is saying he isn't injured and is just missing the trip to Milwaukee.
Edit: Beaten like the Knicks at home
I actually don't thinik a Curry/Love PnR would be that great.
It works best when there's a legit threat of one of the two players going to the rim, and in particular, with a strong burst of athleticism. But there just isn't with that pairing.
