He is the best shooter on the team, for one. He can also slash and drive.
He can get to the rim, and he knows how to draw fouls.
He is a high I.Q. player, makes smart decisions.
He is also clutch, not afraid to take the big shots.

He is basically our best all-around player, and does not get featured enough (effin Duhon..). If we want to get anywhere this year, we would win more games using him as our go to guy.

He can do all those things and he will be the number #1 option at some point in his career, but he's not there yet. if he was, he would be, so he just has to get more aggressive and use his size, but that come with full mental healing from back injury
WE AIN'T NOWHERE WITH THIS BUM CHOKER IN CARMELO. GIVE ME STARKS'S 2-21 ANY DAY OVER THIS LACKLUSTER CLUSTEREFF.

Either our #1 option or at worst our #2 option behund D(less)LEE.....

Gallo has proven that good things happen when he gets the ball!!

He killed it in the post yesterday and yet was just the first time he got passes down low!!

Started when Fishlips found him cutting!! Too bad our PG's have yet to find him!!

Our guards don't give the ball cause they are jealous that the only player on our team
with a secure future is GALLO!!!!

Lee has proven he can handle the post quite well on the offensive end!! Gallo can handle the rest of the floor
just needs the ball to go through him A LOT MORE!!!!

KNICKS on the way UP!!!

Gallinari is our best scorer when we get down 25 points--the problem is he is shooting under 40% when the game counts.

At the very least, he should get as many touches as Harrington.

Why people can't recieve that Briggs boggles my mind.

The Raptor game was for all the marbles , all of Italy was watching.

Bargs for Toronto came out to perform as such and Gallup was nervous and confused

I think he needs to go down into the post early in the game to get into it. Games where we are down 25 and he is getting superior looks are somewhat tainted. He's young and getting better--he just needs to get his head into the game earlier and work inside out. When we get down quite a bit Gallo is usually 1-6 or something and Jefferies and Duhon arent scoring. What he has to do is use his size to get easy looks at the bucket early--maybe get fouled a bit and then work the full game.

LOL... why can't we receive what? an unproven claim by briggs?

And all the marbles? what was on the line? when I checked, gallo was equally as good as bargs... being down by double digits doesn't mitigate a persons performance.. there was no garbage time in a game that saw a lead cut from 23 to 9 with plenty of time left..

why make it so obvious, your agenda here?

the only one confused is you. It boggles my mind as well as others I'm sure, why you can't see that..

He should be the #1 option because he is the future of this team. He should get all the focus of the number one option as that will be the best learning experience for him good or bad. Which in turn will accelerate his development.

If not first option then he should be 2nd option only to Lee.

So Brigg's earlier claim about Gallo shooting under 40% when the game counts gets filed under "crap you just made up"?

#1 scoring option should be able to drive to the basket and score consistently. Gallo isn't able to do that yet. David Lee, Chandler and Harringtn are all better than him in that department.

Gallinari is shooting mid 42% from the field for the year--before the last two games he was down in the low 41 level. If you are a Knick fan and watched all of the games--you know that Gallo starts many of his games cold. If you reasonably equate his % at the start of games he is NOT shooting over 40%.

As example--he started off 1-5 against the Pistons and 0-5 against Toronto while the opposing teams built up big leads. Id have to guess that Gallo is in the mid 30's on average with his first 5 shots per game% for the season. I think that is evident

weird... cause if you take Gallos #s in these (crunch time) situations:
4th quarter or overtime, less than 5 minutes left,
neither team ahead by more than 5 points

Min Net Pts Off Def Net48 W L Win% 
41% +15 129.6 110.9 18.7 9 4 69.2%

By FG. FGA FG% eFG% Ast'd Blk'd FTM Pts 
48 Min 8.7 17.4 .500 .643 57% 0% 6.2 28.7

so for those of you who dont understand these stats (FACTS) let me explain. If you took Gallo's clutch #s (explained above) and computed them over 48 minutes he would be..
He would be +15 in points
His FG% would be 50%, is EFG% (even MORE important) an amazing 64%
The Knicks would outscore opponents 129 to 110

So for those of you who claim Gallo pads his stats in meaningless games or blowout scores you are so far from the truth its just silly.

not just the raps/knicks game but any game where there is a 20+ pt lead, there is a natural relaxation and let down by the team that's up that big. it's why every team makes a run. very rarely does a team win 25 pts wire to wire. knicks keep playing despite the score...but the team up 20+ pts are definitely not playing with the same intensity.

sometimes the team up big can't get back to the intensity level to hold off the team making the run but being down big constantly is the signs of a very bad team. there is nothing redeeming about "fighting" back b/c like i said, the other team eases up a bit.

The game was heralded the Italian NIGHT showdown at MSG Bargs vs Gallanari , why do you think all of the Italian media Hype was at the game from Italy ?

Why do you think the 3 Italians playing for each team took PICTURES at Center court? Even the announcers hyped it up .

Why do you think when Bargs jumped up and down after the facial over Lee it caused D. Lee get out of character and bump bargs and receive a tech.

WHAT GAME WERE YOU GUYS WATCHING ?

Like Briggs stated I think gallo needs to get knocked around a bit early to get his head into the game, because he obviously wasn't ready.

Later on he was the gallanari we have grown to depend on, but early this kid couldn't knock down shots or finish in close.

After he made a layup, then he got into the game.

DJ I have explained the knicks approach to the games many times , but people are wearing rose colored glasses and don't want to see the facts.
