In our losses this year, Gallo is shooting a frigid 8-36 (22%).

How's that for a "great baller"?

Gallo is not our GO TO GUY Amare is......... Gallo doesn't touch ball every time down
Felton does. Gallo is not our second option so far it's been Chandler...

Yet despite that Gallo is still closer to the top of made 3's then he is to the bottom.

And there are only 10 players in all the NBA who have made FT's

Yet peeps are all about blaming him for some of loses!......

Just Dumb!!

Dude went 2-10 from deep in Denver and we lost by 2 points. Could we have used those possessions better?

He needs to shoot closer to 40% and more consistently from three in order to have the defense really stretch toward him. Otherwise the defense doesn't care if he shoots from out there and it doesn't help the team's offense.

He's 7th on the team in assists and 3rd in minutes. I just think he's got to give you more than he is if he's going to be inconsistent as a shooter.

...if you don't care about getting better than the 7th seed in the East then Gallo's great because he'll probably lose you 20 games you should have won. If you're a 30 win team, he probably won you half of those games. I thought we were trying to get to the next level this year. Some fans are obviously still stuck in a Marbury era mentality.

I want to win....... IT ALL

I just believe that Gallo will help you get there...... He has come out the gate slow but so did Felton

Gallo for 4th option is near top in 3's made 11th in FT's made 3rd in FT %

In NBA not on Knicks

Gallo hate is what is stupid...... Not that he has struggled I admit he has not played
to his potential

This is what I mean by the Marbury era mentality.

You take one game where a player was great and ignore the others where he clearly lost you the game and use that as your evidence that he's key to a championship. You cannot win a title with a player like that as a main guy because he's going to cost you a game in every series and its tough to survive and advance that way.

If you want to have a 30 win team, Gallo can get hot in 15 of them and win the games by himself. If you want to win 41+... now the math gets difficult to have a guy who has all of those cold shooting nights and doesn't really bring much else as a main guy on your team.

How many nights does Fisher go 3-13? How many nights does Allen do that?

Actually if you check Ray Allen stats he has plenty of games where he shoots 3 for 13

Shooters have off nights...... But if your comparing Gallo to Ray Allen I already Know we got the goods!

No one wants to continue losing bro believe me

While we were struggling and lost 6 in row Gallo was most def part of the problem NO DOUBT!!
But so was Amare he had an 8 TO game and a 9 TO game.....
Felton was playing bad as well!!....

TD shot much worse then Gallo...... Chandler was quite as well!

But since we been playing better Gallo has been a part of the solution!

And he WILL ONLY GET BETTER!!

He has proved to be both Clutch and now he is learning metal toughness while his shot is a little off!!

You want Melo yet Melo would need ball 3 times as much and get to the line less then Gallo btw

Melo is first option on his team Gallo at best 3rd on ours!!

To answer your question

Ray Allen has 4 games under 40%
Fisher has 8 games under 40%
Gallo has 11 games under 40%

No doubt he is inconsistent. NO doubt he needs to improve his consistency. At 22 good chance he will eventually. All I ask of the guy right now at 22 is not to settle. When he isn't shooting well drive to the basket. Judging by the fact that he's getting to the line 8 times a night in the last 12 games he's doing exactly that.
