Remember when Ellis used to be mentioned in trade rumors and most of you guys wanted no parts of him here?

He's been a huge disappointment this year, but I'll take 4 points and 3 rebounds in 7 minutes from my PF any night.

I wouldn't if it means he is directly responsible for giving up twice that. But I'd agree if he played solid defense.

When it comes to our defense, Bennett is way down the list of concerns. Have you been watching Mo Williams??

You honestly think he would be performing at the same level he is here in Minny? I saw him play for the Bucks and he was one of the most disinteresed players I had ever seen, same thing would have happened with him here. Carlise brings out the best in his players and knows how to get them involved with great teamwork.

I was literally about to post something about that. His defense tonight has been... whatever the opposite of revolutionary is.

All right the whole game was worth it just for that sequence alone! I'm starting to come around on that Thad guy

Call me master of the obvious, but we're a Totally different team with Ricky in there.

Ricky goes to bench, loss assured

I know that many here will disagree, but I'm on board with Flip sending Ricky to the bench with his 21 minutes. Ricky is the franchise, and his health is 100 times more important than a meaningless win in Dallas.
