Larry Hughes can't hold Gallo's jock strap when it comes to shooting the rock. This kid is clutch along with Chandler, that's the NYK future. How anyone can want Hughes playing over Gallo is mind boggling to me. I just don't see what Hughes brings that Gallo already does. Let the kid play.
I'm not sure what you're missing here but Gallo is a forward and we are hurting at our guard depth. Hughes and Q will play as a result of that.
Gallo should get minutes but not at the expense of guards who have to play the 1 and 2 for us.
What should be happening is Jeffries should play less.
Cosmic, I appreciate the game videos that you provide but have been watching the same games I have. D'Antoni has played Hughes with Nate and Duhon at the same time for stints since Hughes has been here. Today he even played Q, with Hughes. If you want to say Hughes is a Guard fine but what the hell is he playing sf for.
Excellent point, I was surprised that Hughes was the player that D'Antoni chose to sub for Chandler. When Q came in it allowed Hughes to move back over to the SG position. I think Hughes is still a new toy for him and he will used him until it become ridiculous like Roberson. LOL at D'Antoni screaming at him for lack of intensity on the help defense.
While I understand that the point is we were hurting at guard depth. If Mike wants to play a 3 guard lineup then he needs a guard to accomplish that. So it doesn't really matter that Hughes has come in at SF at times that's just a matter of personal preference as a fan to not want to see a 3 guard lineup. Which is fine, I don't like them either, but the point is we were thin at guard and Larry will be given a chance to play his way into shape to give us depth at guard.
Gallo (F) shouldn't play ahead of Hughes (G) in that respect, he should pay in front of other forwards, and take some of Jeffries minutes. Maybe even Al's when he's bricklaying or Chandler when he's doing the same.
We were thin at guard, we got a guard, and when Mike wants a guard on the court Hughes is going to play unless he proves he absolutely can't do it anymore.
