He's a smarter player, has higher bball IQ, collects fouls more, more clutch, better passer/facilitator.

It's always so stupid to argue with the owner. I should know better. I should stop with that thought, but then:

He's a smarter player, has higher bball IQ , collects fouls more, more clutch, better passer/facilitator.

Sure sign of a weak argument: saying the same thing twice.

1) Collecting fouls - Gallo's a spot up jump shooter. Wil slashes and finishes clean. Let's think lower of Wil because he actually has moves beyond a stupid H20 jab step to get open looks.
2) More clutch - not as useful when you miss full seasons or parts of seasons at a time -- see more fragile.
3) If he's such asset at dimes production, why are we all crying for a backup PG?

Chandler is in his 5th year as a pro Gallo is just in his second

Gallo is a better shooter with out any doubt's!!
Better FT shooter!!
Better Passer
Taller!!
Longer!
Dunks are a wash betweeen both!!

D is also a wash!!

Gallo is not scared of the moment Chandler most times looks soft!!

Gallo is CLUTCH Wilson is more consistent but also gets way more touches!!

Gallo is the keeper here!!

A stronger will to win? How exactly do you measure that? Facial gestures? Finishing ability??? Is that like finishing potential? As opposed to Wils finishing, period? Toughness? how long did that wrist take to get in synch, again? And Gallo's just getting his teeth knocked out every other day, right? Gallo would have been right back in the game next day, right? Cmon.

1) gallo can drive better than wil, can go either direction, draws more fouls which is better than just scoring, and can shoot the three ball.
2) he's only been in the league for two plus seasons and missed one of them so to plurleyes season is just not accurate.
3) because he's not a point guard but a better passer than wil is a fact.

seems like your not just partial to wil but that you dislike gallo altogether imo.

Chandler scores more, rebounds more, blocks more shots can play three positions and start or come off the bench. Chandler doesn't ever look soft in my opinion, he is just not as demonstrative on the court as Gallo. Being demonstrative doesn't make you a star and it doesn't mean that it means more to you. I think you have to look at both of these guys games and make a decision. These guys are both very good players. I generally would vote for Chandler but there are nights where Gallo is so impressive that I think Chandler should go.

good post... i agree w/everything u said here... i like both these guys & they both do some things better than the other guy & vice versa, & both obviously have limitations in their games as well... Gallo's more demonstrative after he makes a big shot so i think guys get the impression that somehow he cares more than Wilson does, who rarely shows any emotion at all... but anyone who watches Wilson when he's on his game knows he plays with just as much passion & intensity as anyone else... u don't need to pump ur chest or yell & scream to the crowd after made dunks & blocked shots to show you're emotionally into a game.

2 excellent posts. To me, Gallo is a taller, more injury prone version of H2O. I'm partial to Wil's game because of his durability, the flat line game face (as opposed to the aforementioned demonstrativity of Gallo) and his versatility, and actual toughness. I don't understand how Gallo drives better than Wil, but maybe I'm not watching the same game clips as other people, and maybe Gallo's just not as injury prone as he seems to be to me.

Plus, Wil provided DLee with a gaping hack wound, and that just garners way too many points for Gallo to deal with in my book.

This is the first year Chandler came to camp healthy, he has had ankle and leg problems every year over his entire career. He played 65 games last year.

Providing Dlee with a 'gaping hack wound', that's a positive for you? That's a mental disorder, wishing and supporting physical harm on human beings. You should be in jail.

Notice how you're only hating on Gallinari, David Lee, who else, Mozgov? Your motives are clear.

Gallinari >> Chandler.

Did you see the smiley face, mo? You should be in a Hooked on Phonics class. Plus the gaping hack wound in question was an accident, not intentional harm.

And as for your racist conspiracy theory, I happen to be as white as rice. I like Mozgov, I like Pringles. I hate on DLee because he played the type of D that had Debusschere spinning in his grave, and because his life's goals were double/double and no posters at all costs. I also post alot of hate for H20. So what are my motives again? You should also enroll in a PC sensitivity rehab somewhere.

This is an opinion forum, which suffers fools who think missing an entire season and mugging after every 3 and dunk makes you both durable and valuable.
