"Also he gambles far too often on defense and sometimes at the most ill-advised times.

How to you reach that conclusion. Is it an intuitive reaction to watching the games? Or do you have a more objective method for making that statement.

I have seen Toney make very valuable steals at key points in the game. He gets 1.8 steals a game, most of which are converted into sure point. When his steal attempt fails, its easy to say that he shouldn't have tried this time in hindsight. But I am confident that you could criticize the set ups of a lot of the steals that Toney successfully completed, if only they hadn't been successful

My gut feeling is that the steals Toney makes, disrupts the other team's offensive and is very valuable to the Knicks. So I am curious, how you justify the "gambles too much tag"?

Most of this thread is my intuitive reaction to watching the games and is my analysis based on what I see. If you don't agree you can always write your own list. No need to take offense. What I see, is what I see.

I just hope that people will like me

The more I watch Gallo try to do other things offensively the more I realize that he's got to relax. He tends to rush his shot attempts when he goes to the basket, often lurching forward rather than going in strong and balanced. His pull up jumper also lacks any form. When he's close he tends to want to fade away, which isn't necessary and throws off the shot just enough to miss what should be an easy score. He's great at drawing fouls, but he could finish better with a less off balance and stronger approach to finishing his drives.

To illustrate, he isn't looking for the contact 1st and then releasing his shot. He fires too early, as I said he lurches and makes himself smaller as he leans towards the basket. He needs to go up strong and upright and keep the ball away from the defender until the last second. Chandler does this as does Amar'e. It's a skill Gallo needs to master so that he can actually draw the foul and still score the basket, which he almost never does.

I too think Timo is not that bad. I'd almost say his IQ is pretty good but he is not up to speed with the pace of the game. Maybe slow in making decisions but they are the often the right one.

I would even be a bit kinder to Felton as he seems to make many choices with his many touches so the good, and the bad get magnified or sorts. If anything he is like the Moz but in reverse. He almost seems to make hasty decisions. splitting hairs on your good evaluation.

Maybe AR actually goes a rung or two LOWER on a laddered scale into Nate like bone head land of the clueless.

Rainman looked like WORLD B. FREE last nite!!1
