Dude is an assassin.

seriously, he is... he knocks down some big shots in some big moments... IF we make the playoffs, i can picture this guy throwing some daggers into the other team's heart if the game is close in crunchtime... him, Al & Nate have no conscience when it comes to taking big shots, & u need those types of cahones to play that assassin's role.

this guy is a keeper. a lead guy if we don't sign lebron. you just keep gallo and get the next dirk. no doubt in my mind this guy is getting max money at some point in his career. no doubt.

while i agree with you about the max money part, i don't think thats an indication of how good you are. i mean michael redd and gilbert arenas got max money and they aren't max money type players.

Nate's starting to rub off a little on Gallo it seems... hopefully not too much.

Saw that too. Lil Nate is definitely rubbing on Gallo.

hopefully he's not rubbing on him too much bro.

He was shooting 40% on threes last night before that shot, and finished 5/11 45%.

yeah... i watched the game. he was launching up 3's & before he made that shot he had scored 14 points & missed 6 attempts... even MJ waited til he was in the zone before he gave u that shrug... i never noticed Gallo posing like that earlier in the season, but lately it's becoming more noticeable... i just hope it doesn't get out of hand, that's all i'm saying.

yeah... i watched the game, but thanks.

lol. and, no, i agree. he's getting a little ****y (like rooster). hopefully he doesn't get carried away and turn into a little nate. but that hair change about 2 weeks back was a bad indication. i think he gets a tattoo by the end of the season, sad to say.

at least he's not doing that lame finger wag over his head thing he used to do

Let's not get down on Nate's PG skills - sometimes you're just off.

Nate has some great skills. But he's not a PG. It's not a matter of being off. Being consistent and limiting mistakes is key at PG and that is not Nates game.

Nate had too many turnovers for certain, but he came through in the third qtr and had the most vicious dunk of the game. Not sure what it looked like on the tube, but sitting center court it was a sight to behold. The arena went into a frenzy after that dunk. Props to Bender for his vicious ski-mogul dunk, and another frenzied slam by David Lee.

Duhon had some nice assists on those dunks, but first half it looked like he didn't really have his shooting legs. He started to get into the flow in the second half. We will need a better point guard next year if we don't land Lebron.

I agree, the Knicks are getting their swagger. This was a key win against a solid team. It was the funnest game of the season to watch because it was tough and well played on both sides. The Bobcats were shooting great last night and playing solid D (expectedly).

Lebron will take notice of our team. We are much more solid than his Ohio motley crew. Next year is going to be amazing. But thankfully I am satisfied to watch this year first. So entertaining when we play well. Hoops is meaningful again! Hooray!

orangeblobman wrote:Yea, props to D. Lee for the slams, Bender too...

But was it just me, or was it Lee's reactions swaying my opinion, or did Lee get hacked all night? Does he get calls at all? This guy is a martyr for the Knicks, going up against much bigger people all the time.

i think he gets a lot of non calls, but he also whines a lot so maybe refs are getting tired of hearing all the whining from him?... he also has somewhat of an awkward looking release on his shots, he gets the ball off early on the way up a lot of times, not the typical looking release where guys wait to get to the peak of their jump & extend before they release on their shot... i think that throws the refs off sometimes also.
