Knick rookie Danilo Gallinari will now only play in blowout situations, coach Mike D'Antoni confirmed to the New York Post.

The situation is set to continue until Gallinari, who missed all of the preseason, gets "physically ready."

"I may have tried him out too early," D'Antoni said. "He's not physically ready. As soon as he gets ready physically, whether we win or lose, we'll play him when he's ready."

A guess a few called for it. Good move for now. Let him get his legs back.

no surprise, he didn't play in the last two games, I think it is clear he will play once he is in shape, D'antoni stated that before...

MikeD has said numerous times that Curry will play when/if he's in shape. The same goes for Danilo.

He looks in "shape" to me. What do we mean by "shape" anyway? You're telling me that Malik is in better "shape" than Gallinari? Nothing change for this organization. Does "shape" mean healthy or without pain shooting down his legs? Please let this guy get the surgery he obvious needs to properly heal so the rest of his career is not in serious jeopardy. Donnie do the right thing.

I didn't bother reading the article because it is a Berman piece. Fact of the matter is that the other writers explained thoroughly that Danilo is working out his legs and getting up to "NBA speed"... he was not "yanked" from the rotation as the article title implies there was some forcefulness to the move... it has been revealed that he is not being played (and hasn't since the first game (way to go Berman with your investigative reporting) because he needs more practice time...

Moral of the story: Berman covers the Knicks, but doesn't like the Knicks and derogates their actions at every opportunity.

I think most of us would agree that getting up to speed (even if in D-League) is in Gallo's best interest.

Pharz, looking and shape and being able to run up and down the basketball court in the NBA for 15+ minutes are two completely different things bro.

I feel like I can't get excited to see him play because i'll likely be dissapointed cause he'll have back problems throughout his career

nyk4ever, I rather watch Gallinari sit at the scorer's table then watch Malik get minutes.

Well you and me both bro, trust me. If it were up to me, I would have Gallinari in the game, but if MDA feels he shouldn't be playing because he's not in good enough shape to be playing then I can't really complain. In fact, it's good to actually see that for once. The same goes for Curry.

You're about 500 months late with that reference, newbie. I believe I take credit for it.

I hope I'm wrong, but I already feel like 2008 was a botched draft. I never liked the pick from jump. Again, I hope I'm wrong because I want Gallo and ultimately the knicks to succeed, but the red flags are glaring by this point.
