Durant is special and he made some of those shots with a defender in his face. Some from a few steps beyond the 3 line which is impossible to defend! Damn it go watch the game again and see how Gallo was fighting on D! He was playing Durant hard and pretty good until the OT. Gallo had to fight picks all night and did a good job. He got a charge, had his hand in Durants face on some of his misses and was on him so tight Durant got a foul call for shoving Gallo.

Gallo did play good D on Durant. The problem with D is not new, since last year there was no inside presence, no shot blocking threat to prevent the layup drill.

I'm glad someone else noticed Gallo fighting hard on D! I think DW is really thinking hard on how he can bring in a legit defensive presence in the middle. More than anything else except PG it's our biggest hole. A young version of Camby is exactly what we need.

How can we pry one of those guys from another team? Can we get a Deandre Jordan or a Javale McGee from their current team? Is it worth looking into a Dalembert despite his up n down nature?

i would trade ANYONE on our team including TMac to land McGee.

Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree
