At least Ellington is a journeyman I've heard of. McGruder's not even up to journeyman status. He's a D League guard who's now starting at forward for Miami.

Message to Wall - pass the ball to Otto over and over, please.

He sounds like a groundskeeper.

I guess a Markieff + Gortat frontcourt doesn't get you rebounds.

Why is Morris starting for a team that has intentions of making the playoffs?
He can't rebound (at all), doesn't play help defense, doesn't stretch the floor, clanks contested mid-range shots, etc.
Can't believe Pringles traded a 1st rd pick for him.

They're trying to get Whiteside in foul trouble. I like it.

Would help if they actually called Whiteside's fouls though.

Gortat is a solid center, but he is good for a dumbass play or two a game.

Gortat is playing dreadful. No resemblance of rim protection. Letting Whiteside get inside positioning.
