Ellis needs to not take 3s. When he realizes that he no longer has to take poor shots because he will get a ton off open looks from Dirk... his efficiency should go up tremendously.
Harper the other night made the comment about Calderon shooting the 3 when he should have thrown it back in to Dirk who had Parsons on him. I'd like to see Calderon make it a point to feed Dirk more. Last night I didn't see it at all, hopefully it was just a one game thing......

I agree entirely Ellis needs to be conservative shooting 3's. However, he still needs to take the open shot if he has it. If your talking about the Houston game, the team started kinda cold so Calderon took things into his own hands. Gotta consider 1 of Calderon's goals in the first was off an assists by Dirk and IIRC he set Dirk up twice and Dirk missed the shot. still need to see a little more, but wasn't this their first game together? Let's see what happens tonight.
