Decision making of some of the starters today was totally low IQ or lazy. They could not create any big lead so that the bench can try and show up but even that the bench was not good. TD was usual out of control lately. Shawne was probably the only bench player that was playing the system.

it was neither its called, tired. felton jacked up a lot of shots without looking to pass. it was just tired play all around.

and no you dont wait for a big lead to include your bench, you include them from beginning of game to end. walsh did not hand mda a bunch of scrubs, they are all serviceable, to help our top five guys win.

Call it tired but here is gallos stat:

D. Gallinari(notes) 39:03 FG 3-14 3PT 1-10 FT 0-0

I am a big time supporter of gallo but you kidding me 0-0 free throw and 1-10 3pt thats not smart to me.

last two recent games gallo was hot, mda didnt make gallo the focal point of the offense. instead the ball was dumped to amar'e for the double team strip or ffs toney got a hold of it and of course shot it. lol.

Mike D is killing this team. He is also killing the trade value of our players. He may talk defense but he is a 3 point gambler.

I don't blame the coach a lot but it takes two to make a team (coach/players). If the players are no showing you anything in practice unlike williams why play them? Obviously williams have showed something to warrant his playing time unlike AR or Moz.

for the obvious reason, that our top five are not robots, they need rest in game, to close out games.

Your argument is bench should be played but my argument the bench is not good so lets leave it at that.

Gallo has been the tale of 2 halfs (good one half no where to be found the next half)...walt says get the ball to the guy thats hot (when gallo had it going) mda says, spread the floor and get it to the guy that has the best available shot despite who's hot.

I agree with MDA, when you start force feeding guys cause they have it going, they star forcing wild shots, In the cavs game, Amare had hit 2 sweet shots, on his 3rd consecutive shot, he took a horrible shot, I mean mind boggling horrible, he was thinking he had it going and anything he through up would just drop in.

Amare, for all his good play and leadership, gives up 10 to 20 point with his turnovers

This is true, but JVG played 8/9 guys no matter what..MDA is playing he's bench 6 to 12 minutes a game, why even put them in there, you bearly break a sweat with those BS minutes

JVG also had better benches. Would he run this team the same way D'Antoni is? Maybe, maybe not. But the evidence shows that he probably would do similar things.
