Carmelo plays Amare's role on Denver's team. Last time I checked Amare holds the ball. This is not a Gallo versus Carmelo thread.

This is what you posted to start the thread: Im wondering why no one was up in arms when Gallo was going 1 on 1 to score last night

Seriously, I'm getting tired of the stuff you post. It's almost as the whole point is to annoy people and draw attention to yourself. Either change how you act or find somewhere else to post.

No one is putting on an ACT. If you want to ban me that is fine.

If you didn't criticize Carmelo for playing 1 on 1 ball then this thread is obviously not directed at you.

i dont want to see you banned but come on man, how do you not give gallo his due for last nite, that is as good as it gets, plus some.

this is such a reach.. really man.. why wasted time with this... he scored within the flow of the offense.. no disrespect...Why such a whiny thread... what is this going to prove?

No one said it was bad what he did. It was great that he showed he can contribute when his shot is not falling.

The point was Carmelo gets criticized for doing the EXACT same thing. Remember Carmelo is plays the Amare Stoudemire role on his team.

would you have been happy if gallo have made that (third) pass to td, who you know would shoot it every time. when the rock was passed to gallo he went for a field goal. i think it took even the celtics by surprise cause they probably watch game tape see him pass a lot.

now miami may guard gallo even more just on celtics game tape alone, which will make amar'e job even easier, he may go for 40.

I AM NOT HATING ON GALLO. Why is it so hard to understand that.

Im not a hypocrite like some people here. I like the way he played in the 2nd half last night.

it is not being a hypocrite by judging players, game by game. you love a player one game, hate him next. this game is played in moments. some moments you the king some moments you the goat. it's stubborn to always hate or always love-- refusing to see change.

gallo did exactly what every fan been wanting to see, appluad it, dont make it sound anything less than that was his king moment.

You are right Gallo did exactly what I'd like to see EVERY night. This thread had zero to do with that.

This thread is about the unfair criticizing of a guy we can acquire who has proven he can do the same thing for 82 game that Gallo did last night for 2 quarters. Simple as that.

Melo criticized for not playing D and costing too much. Get your facts straight. 1-on-1 is a less problem.

- Gallo played good D on Pierce? If that is good D then Carmelo must be Ron Artest.

you making up stuff now? When did I say that.

BTW, did any Boston player play good D last night? Last time I checked Knicks starters were all a plus in the +/- except Felton. And you know what.... All Boston starters were in the minus expect Pierce who was zero.

And that vaunted Boston defense just gave up 125 points on 100 possessions, about 25 more points than they usually do per 100 possession.

You brought up Carmelo's poor defense. So I assume you mean Gallo's defense is equivalent or better.

Why are you going off on a tangent about Boston's defense? Pierce went off on us and Gallo was guarding him most of the night anyway.

Gallo's defense IS BETTER then Melo's hands down!!!!!!!!

After last night I'm convinced Gallo goes nowhere! Period!!

Knick fans need to stop the HATE on this kid!!

Had 20 in second half ..... Only shot ( and HIT!) one 3 so all this he is a one dimensional player
shat can stop!!

You seen the BEST of Melo and think its ok or fair to compare him to Gallo which is a huge compliment
for a fourth option to be compared to a bonafide superstar!

Just shows that Gallo is getting closer...... I say by years end Amare and Gallo will be a better
Combo then Batman and Robin.....

Gallo is turning the corner we hoped he will!

Now I know there are some people on this board that have just got it in their heads that they’re never going to like Gallinari, but here are the facts:
This year, he is

Scoring 15.5 points per game
Hitting just under 39% of his three point attempts,
42% of his shots overall
He is 10th in the NBA for the season for made 3 pointers
17th in the NBA for getting to the line (not bad for someone who just shoots threes, huh?)
8th in NBA in ft% (Hitting 89% of his fts)
15th in the NBA for made fts
True shooting %: .602 (just outside top 20 in NBA)
Effective field goal: .502
2nd in the NBA for not turning it over

On the more noisy stats, he is
4th in offensive rating
Adjusted +/- of 8.26 (small sample, though)
Now bear in mind that Gallinari has played a total of 135 NBA games; so what we’re seeing is a 22 year old, who has played less than 2 seasons in the NBA.

Is there room for improvement, sure. But he is contributing majorly to the team.

All while being caught in a slump.........

Chander and Felton along with Amare have been very consistent and hitting their shots
and Gallo shows he is a team player by differing after being # 1 option at end of last year!

Gallo is a stud!!

BEST KNICK PICK SINCE MARK JACKSON!!!

That's since the 80's folks!!

Yet all we hear is fukcing hate!!

carmelo gets criticized for being a ball stopper and not putting in a defensive effort... again, this is not a lebron type talent we are talking about here with carmelo.. if so, I doubt there would be any detractors at all...

Agreed with fact that melo can produce consistant numbers compared to a player who been on starting line up 2 years but martin already answered your point. Melo is going to cost a lot, not just money but losing support cast if Denver is really asking for all the players for him.

Martin answered a point that was never asked. This thread was not created to compare Gallo to Melo. The board is filled with threads comparing the two players.

Last night Gallo scored the majority of his points off of 1 on 1 play and played great. Im not denying that. My gripe is individuals criticizing Melo for doing the same thing for his entire career.

Out of everything that happened during last night's game. THIS is what you choose to start a thread about?!?!?!
