Half way through the first quarter and OKC's up 7.

Durant: 2/3, 4 points, 4 boards, 2 assists and 1 block.
Gallo: 0/0, 0 points, 1 board and 0 everything's.

Not trying to compare Gallo to Durant, but Denver stands zero chance against OKC due to Denver not having a STAR who can compete against Durant. Because Gallo isn't the answer at SF. Miami has LeBron to compete with Durant. And Melo may not be LeBron, but Melo has ALWAYS competed against the likes of both LeBron and Durant. Gallo on the other hand? Crumbles against this type of talent. Like a cookie.

You'll see. Just continue watching. Already seen this coming (and spoke upon it) before tipoff.

Wow, your really not good at this are you?

Dude might be worse than the supposed "haters", at least they dont backtrack, and no matter what they stay with their arguement...only winning can prove them wrong.

But this guys with his venom to diss everything not orange and blue is beyond terrible.

he was very inefficient last night-- for him. 54.2%

Wilson looked great. It was great to see him playing like that again.

1) I thought the Nuggets would blow this team out the way they were playing in the 2nd quarter. The Thunder were able to come back.

2) Thunder turn the ball over way too much.

3) Maddingly inconsistent effort from the Nuggets starting unit, minus Lawson's game-winner. Granted, Gallo came back from injury, Koufus can't do much, and Iggy doesn't score much, but it's so weird. The starting unit all had a negative +/- rating. Faried will eventually need to take the next step and be more of an offensive weapon to balance the starting unit some more.

4) Ill Will did what Ill Will does. He's the perfect 6th man for their team.

5) Dre Miller, Brewer, and McGee will surprisingly good performances. Especially for Dre and McGee, who tend to get the most slack when the team loses.

6) Thunder bench didn't show up last night. Usually Martin does, but did nothing yesterday.

Great shot from Lawson but if I were a true Denver critic (learn from the best) I'd state how Westbrook flat out destroyed Lawson during the entire game. I guess a game winner changes that for Lawson. Durant is a pure fire NBA star, and flat out destroyed Gallo at the SF position. Just as I predicted. I may have been wrong about Denver as a team tonight, but I was damn right about Gallo. The guy didn't even show up tonight fellas. Almost as bad as game 7 of last years first round exit. 2/7 shooting with only 7 points? Only 2 boards? Pathetic. 0 assists, 1 steal and 1 block? Laughable. God forbid a specific Knick performed this poorly? Even during a Knicks win? Forget about it...

Denver as a team? Kept it much closer than I expected. Still can't win on the road. 13-19 road record? Weak minded road team.

Did the true critic see how Bradley Beal nearly destroyed us and the game before Wall actually did 2 very still green players? Then add in Ariza on the previous destruction and here's the kicker we dropped a game to that lottery team.

Denver is 2-1 against OKC this year and this time another former Knick got the best of them in case you weren't keeping tabs....we know how diligent you are.

Let's be honest here, it's not about Anthony Randolph, Eddy Curry, Wilson Chandler and/or Mozgov, but instead? This whole Denver love fest came from landing Melo in replace of their little Gallo. That's what it boils down.

And it's weird how fans such as TKF (and a few others around here) talk up Gallo in order to harp all over Melo 24/7, but yet, no mention of Gallo's performance last night (or lack thereof)? Nothing can top Gall's awful game 7 playoff performance in which he single handedly eliminated his Denver teammates from the postseason due to going 1/9 with only 3 points and 4 turnovers during a game 7 with the pressure on. He cracked under pressure.

But last night? Pretty damn pathetic. 2/7 shooting with only 7 points, 2 boards, 1 block, 1 steal and ZERO assists. God forbid a specific Knick put up this type of laughing stock joke of basketball production, some of these Denver Gallo lovers and or Melo/Knick critics would have a blast despite our Knicks winning a ball game.

It's funny how I can't criticize Denver as a team while harping all over the player we traded Melo for (Gallo) without specific fans becoming butt hurt, but yet, it's perfectly fine for these same fans to harp all over, knock, bash and criticize Melo (and our Knicks) 24/7/365 during each and every thread. Funny how that works on a New York Knicks forum.

Also, in regards to Wilson having a great game, good for him. Anyone who knows anything about the situation pre-trade not only knows but also understands that Wilson Chandler was gone as a Knick during free agency regardless if we would've traded for Melo or signed Melo as an up coming free agent. Wilson Chandler was gone no matter what.

Wizzards were 13-10 going into last night since Wall returned. In addition to beating us since Wall's return they also had W's against the following teams;

Blazers
Bulls
Clippers
Nets
Rockets

and 2 W's against the Nuggets. Yeah Nuggets are great and the Knicks suck....LOL

Great home team and subpar road team. They dropped a road game to the Rsptors as well. They lose to the same teams recently that we have. We have a better winning % but the Nuggets are the path to greatness.

IMHO, Denver is not a threat in the West.

The biggest contribution for the Rockets might have been from guard Patrick Beverley, who scored 10 of his 13 points in the fourth, to go along with three steals.

It was a hohum game. Another weird game from McHale. Lin played really well but he still benched him the whole 4th quarter. Beverley did play well though so I can't complain.
