My boy roberson will be the fourth guard on this team

Roberson is a chucker. He didn't run point at all. Gallinari and Chandler ran point more than he did.

Roberson was playing shooting guard, and I think he did a good job. Who would you prefer to have shot it? I think he played the way he was told to. I would not mind seeing a true pure shooter from our guards.

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

Gallo even though he showed up late looked great! Nervous anxious first half not to mention no one passed to him!

Started second half started the same way but at 2;10 in the third he woke up! Had 14 points 5 rebounds 2 steals from then on
he was pulled with 5 min left! Sick put back 2 handed rim rocker! Lefty sick fake crossover that left my man shook
that he gets hammered on! Nice between the legs step back jumper! Sweet three! Goes to the hole! Hits all his 4 FT
tries on D! He will be nice but just like today its gonna take some time!

Chandler you are sick my man! He can do it all huh? Dribbles better then last year too folks! For me he is a wrap he
is proven in my eyes. Let someone else get his minutes he has nothing left to prove!! NASTY!! (Stronger Prince anyone?)

Marty my man you looked great! Strong! Not only how you played but also in great shape for this time of year! Q Rich Too! As for the game
Marty showed flashes of that triple double type we thought of before he got hurt! Then heavy! He went real hard for the dunk on one
play where he was hammered! Still went real strong angry almost! Looked to get teammates involved and shot the ball with confidence!
Great showing glad Nate aint here taking up the his minutes!

Roberson can shoot like wooh!!! Nice shot! Just too many shots!! Looks like he is having fun but other the shooting I see nothing else
positive! Balkman is a spazzzzzzz but on D is a terror! And the boards very Rodman like!! All in all we won so a good start to the new regime!!



KNICKS on the way UP!!!

Let's not forget-Gallo is 19 and if he develops and his body matures we could be looking at a point power forward and 15-7 would be shortchanging him. He sees the court, has great instinct, can shoot and isn't afraid to bang. As I said before didn't see the first half but I'll give him the half to get his feet wet.

Okay, I am convinced. Gallo can play and he looks fast enough to at least not be a matador on defense. If he can develop a post game and get some consistency with his shot, he is going to be a solid player.

Chandler looks like he might turn into IT's best pick. Kid looks great and has his jumpshot going. He should definitely be the starting 3.

Balkman needs to really improve his skills. He really is not much more than he was as a rookie. He brings solid defense, but unless he improves the shooting, he is always going to a 8th-9th man type player, which is not bad, but he has more potential than that.

Mardy looks like he has returned to his rookie form. THe question with him is can he consistently hit jumpshots. If he can, he probably will become the main backup pg due to his defense.

How were gallo's legs? Was he able to bend at the knee, or was he running down the court Frankenstein-style?

Why? Roberson did what he was supposed to do. He is a shooting guard and this is summer league. A shooting guard should shoot. If he was sucking I could understand the complaint. He made some clutch shots too. I wish Crawford would play like that: Just shoot standing jumpers for the most part instead of taking 50 through the legs dribbles first.

oohah

I was under the understanding he was a PG?

FWIW, for those (like me) who missed the game, looks like MSG is replaying it at 8:00 pm tonight.

Did Donnie and Mike do ANY homework on this? I mean Gallo's pictures are all over the internet and they are all stiff-legged!

I am surprised no one is really talking about Mardy Collins. He might of have the most complete game of anyone on the team. He has earned some of my respect back even though it is summer league. I can see improvement in his game.

the most encouraging thing i saw was Chandler hitting open jumpshots from distance in "crunchtime" (if there is such a thing in SL that is)... Mardy was penetrating to the lane & dishing to open teammates but i've seen him do that before in stretches during real games... the key is consistency for all young players... they will show flashes of brilliance one day & then revert to bad habits the next... this is why we need to wait til we see them over the long haul to fully judge where they've progressed in their games.

How can they do that when guys like fat boy Q Rich demand playing time and coaches give in?

hopefully Chandler & Gallo show enough in SL so that it practically ensures Jared Fishlips gets zero playing time next season unless it's in garbage time... i'm thinking D Lee will be used to back up Curry this season since we're lacking a backup C, & Gallo will get minutes backing up Zach at the 4 when Chandler's in the rotation... at least that's how i would hope it would go down.

Zach will be gone by the time the season rolls around.

Wow, Tractor Traylor looks like he should be on the Knicks with Eddy Curry and Jerome James.

I dunno, but our quarterback would sure have good protection up front.

i'd play them on both sides of the ball... we'd have the best run defense in the entire league.
