Now, I agree about not having anymore Houston-type games, but more often than not, Ellis will fill up the box score in other areas. It just gets so annoying to listen to shooting inefficiency when he efficiently does so many other good things on the court.
Oh and he shot 78% from the floor last night soooo yeah.

When 82games gets a large enough sample size to update for the 13/14 season, I think we'll see an absolutely astonishing on/off offensive efficiency gain with Ellis on the floor. He's like Dirk in that his only benefit isn't his scoring effiency. He makes it easier for others to score.
Even when he's not scoring, he's scrambling defenses and that confusion leaves others open. He's also an incredibly underrated passer-- particular pocket passes to players in the paint.
