not talking about Larry Bird. Talking about Larry Bird Lite.

and the way you talk about him you would think he is Lavor Postell.

They should have road his hot hand a little more late in the game and gave him some isolation opportunities.

I think it's pretty obvious to everyone what's going on, but no one wants to put the tail on the donkey.

Felton and the others are hating on Gallinari out of jealousy. Pure hate towards him.

In 'S post conference he said " Our bread and Butter in fourth quarter is P&R or ISO with Amare and that's
what I wanted."

He also says " I can live with Felton's shot selection in fourth quarter"

When asked if we should get Gallo the Ball maore he said " Yes its something we MIGHT look at but Amare is
leading NBA in 4th quarter points so that's what we wanted"

To me it's more the coach who is holding Gallo back!!

Call me crazy but IMO I believe coach D wants to keep Gallo so he is holding him back till after deadline!!

Interesting. Perhaps I was excessively cynical there.

We must all pray Gallinari stays.

Feel he did same thing with TD last year.....

I want Gallo to stay more then anyone on team...... Kid is special.

Think rumors this year have bothered him most!!

right. Team is on a 6 game losing streak and he is holding Gallo back. That makes sense.

Hmm...true. Then MDA is covering for Felton's obvious hatred towards Gallo for 'reasons'.

That works well if everyone else on the floor thinks the same way (as your teammates will pass to you rather than take their shot if you're in a better spot). But if most/all of the other players are looking to shoot first, then it results in fewer shots for the willing passer.

he ain't no Turkoglu...not knocking the kid...he has potential and at 22...plenty of time for him to add to his game.

Nothing here validates this statement.

One way to "develop" players is to give them more responsibilities and see how they handle them.

Gallo was the "no D Euro," and now it seems that he has made himself into pretty effective defensive player in the NBA, and outside of Douglas, you can make a case that he is perhaps the best 1/1 defender on the Knicks.

Gallo was a jump shooter who could not drive, and now you can make the case that he is a more efficient scorer driving to the basket than he is from distance.

The guy was a "go to" player in Italy- no reason why MDA can't give him some responsibility at various times during games, and if he is successful, allow him the opportunity to have a decision making role during crunch time.

Well said. +1

go to player in Italy? i know the Europeans are becoming a formidable presence in basketball but we're still talking the NBA here, not soccer.

Kind of a foolish comment, given Dirk, Ginobbili (sp), Hedu, etc..

Does not mean he is the alpha male, but he can have his big moments on the Knicks.

Has to do with responsibility, bro.

He has also shown some ability in the NBA, and in case I am mistaken, he has had some big moments for the team.

Again- we are talking about developing players.

It's two different games, European hoops and the NBA. It's comparing apples and oranges in a lot of ways. And Hedo is not European.

He has showed a lot of ability in the NBA and he is only getting better.

Gallo is our most complete player. He does it all; defense, offense, dropping treys, dunk shots, gets the fouls, will guard you like spider with long arms, literally everything.

Guy is the man, he's like a God.

Gallo gets up for certain games and even the MSG commentators made note of it.
