I saw the game but had company so I couldn't get on my computer. Nice game and the Knicks are learning how to win. Now they must get that killer instinc. Just put a team away then step on thier neck and never let them back into the game.

that being said, it's nice to go into games and expect to win and then go out and take care of business. and i would not have guessed in a million years that shawne williams would have been useful at all this season. hopefully he can remain consistent because there just hasn't been anyone dependable to hit that kickout 3 all year.

hopefully we can sweep the next few and prepare ourselves for the REAL test coming up.

You guys really have to watch the game more intently and not get too hung up on numbers. Gallo is a very smart basketball player. ALL the plays he made yesterday was very good basketball decisions. He had 5 assists but his other passes resulted a basket as well. His entry pass to the post for Amare or Wilson is awesome. He gives it to them where they can do something with the ball and very catchable. His defense is superb. He ran the floor well again that created spacing. The other team is just concentrating on him and he his so unselfish that he does not force things. Also, watch Gallo run back on defense all the time. Watch him create space for Amare by just forcing his man to stay home instead of doubling.

I know I am a big Gallo fan but as a basketball fan, but you have to enjoy the way this man plays basketball. His BBall IQ is off the charts.

i am one who loves players who don't try to force things but gallo half the time was not making good decisions. pull up contested 3s five feet beyond the arc are usually not good decisions.

One of the things he's going to need to learn is to be able to score even when his shot isn't falling which also means being aggressive without forcing shots. Toronto is not a team with great defensive wings to guard him either.

there were plenty of times he had opportunities to drive and finish, and he had a few good dishes on some of his drives.

point being, he needs to shoot more than the 3 ball to be good for us. against the raptors it might be fine to wait for someone else to step up. yesterday it was chandler and shawne but for the most part he needs to provide offense against the better teams.

he played well despite not scoring a lot but he was not aggressive enough and at least half of his shots were not good and i'm including one of his makes.
