Sergio is right.... Honestly would give Danillo for Rudy in a second

You're out of your mind if you think there's any chance of Gallo going to the bench! This guy is a starter. You can't judge him solely on what you've seen so far and think that's it. I think without a doubt that he'll be our 2nd leading scorer this year and post solid rebounding as well as a couple of assists. You want to bring a near 7'er that can shoot the lights out and has the ability to play anywhere on the court off the bench? How about we see if he can get more midrange and post plays this year with more minutes.|

And there is nothing wrong with coming off the bench. Lamar Odom comes off the bench and he's 100x better than Danilo Gallinari will ever dream to be. Off the bench, Gallo can play HIS game and not asked to do things he cannot do like post-up or take midrange pull-up jumpers.

we could go all day and night about how good danilo's gonna be and no one's gonna know. we'll all find out. i'll tell you one thing though - whoever's jocking odom is all wrong. that guy is only good when there are at least 3 players better than him on his team taking all the pressure off.

Everyone forgets how incredible Odom was with Miami when they let him play point forward. He's been held back quite a bit ever since that trade. I'm pretty sure Gallo's not being held back in any way. I'll say something honest here; if his name were Daequan Jackson instead of Danillo Gallinari, fans would have a much different opinion of his 3-13 nights. Its very similar to the comparisons of Lee to Stoudemire. If you're serious about basketball, then its not a real comparison.

Its very similar to the comparisons of Lee to Stoudemire. If you're serious about basketball, then its not a real comparison. Gallo's 1st full season, after an off season with no real training, the kid managed to put up a pretty good season. So now after 2 Freakin playoff games everyone KNOWS that he's not gonna be anything more than what he's been. GET THE F OUTTA HERE! You don't know jack squat yet. Let's see what this kid can do before we write the book on him at 22. He's not perfect, but you know guys like Peja and Rashard Lewis have made big impacts on teams being what they are, jump shooters. Now i'm not even saying that Gallo is gonna be able to be more than that, but can we see this kid play more than one season???? GEEZ! ONE FULL F'N SEASON!!! He wasn't even at full strength last year. Give him a chance. |

A guy who can give you a 10-13 30 pt night or a 3-13 7 pt night and you have no idea which one is coming... Crawford was much more consistent than that and he comes off the bench. If 'Bukee is healthy, he's a two way player and Chandler has shown he's a two way player. It only makes sense that Gallo, who you cannot count on, should be coming off the bench.

Craw is what you say coming off the bench in ATL. Was not here.
If Bukke is healthy. Big IF! If Timo is Pau we go to the finals!!! If Gallo is Bird we win. If Gallo is Adam Morrison we don't. If Gallo is Gay, well, um, good for him! If Felton Nash we go to conf. finals. Then lose. Watch the game. Enjoy! If Unicorns are real that would be cool |

the curse of Hubris struck Earl Barron. He'll be lucky to be the 3rd string center on most teams imo. Guys that put up good numbers towards the end of the season on losing teams tend to over achieve (often at the expense of others). Earl is not as good as many seem to believe
the fact that you can't even have an unrelated thread without some tool here bringing him up make me think that rational minds are few and far between. Bunch of emotionally weak, angst riddled people. I mean, how many times can you argue the same shyt

Mozgov should start. Let him get some on the job training in how to stay out of foul trouble. The kid is not going to play more than 20 minutes anyway, so why slow his development. Turiaf is not the future and he knows that, so no risk of hurting feelings.

Whaq A Shaq
There is nothing wrong with Shaq's hip, Shaq simply got hip to the idea that Mozgov was playing The best tutorial for Mozgov is to face up with The Big Antique to test his footwork and inside game. No matter what happens it is a great learning experience for the rookie. once a knick always a knick

Let's be real, with our coach if there is any conversation about who is going to the bench, it isn't going to be Three point shooter like Gallo. The most likely case is Chandler(a 2way non three point shooter) vs AZ( a 2way player that can shoot threes). If AZ is Healthy then the 2 guard spot is his IMO. There is no doubt about it.....

Really didnt anticipate Mozgov starting (even though its pre-season) this early. The positive is we get to see this strategy early. Ill try not to be too critical or disappointed.
Had enough Melo?
