He's all we could get this summer but I'm hoping Phil can find a better 2 way SG that will pass the ball as well. He's not really playing TEAM BALL. I expected better from him to be honest. I expected full buy in. I knew he had flaws but thought he'd be a more willing team player.

He was said to be a good defensive player when we got him so i don't know what happened to him like if he just isn't giving the energy needed or if he never really was that good on defense?? It's not like he's some horrible player cause he's not but i think we were all just expecting more from him. I still think he can be a valuable player if we had more players that were being relied upon to score but i think maybe he feels like everyone is just expecting him to be our #2 scorer which he is so he's trying too hard to be that guy which takes him away from doing the other parts that are also needed.

The foul that was called on KP's steal, Gallo's turnover, and the charge were all killers, but it was the charge call that took points off the scoreboard that we thought were ours.

Yep and unfortunately for us it was the right call. We kinda got a call back for us on the 2nd to last play we had when Melo got the ball inbounded to him he big time traveled and they didn't call it.

I agree...

This is also a reminder that we have a team full of solid backup players.....around Melo and KP. I never thought of AA as a starter. So when he has up and down games, it's really no surprise to me. Same with Gallo and the older version of Calderon. All these guys are really meeting expectations. We needed these guys to exceed expectations in order to make some playoff noise. AA has been a 6th man type his entire career.....I thought he would be a nice NBA starter for us, but he still seems like he's a better 6th man type.....But for the price, he was the best option at SG.

But I agree that he was upset about other things, right before that play. Gallo's turnover was bad, and I'm sure AA was saying, yall should've gave me the ball instead of forcing it to Melo. Then when Calderon made that pass to Gallo, you have to understand AA must be going crazy by now watching all this stuff unfold, following the charge call....

Why? I thought there was a defender very close to AA at that point. Gallo was just open.

Gallo has hit some clutch shots for us since we've had him especially last year and when he put that shot up i truly thought it was gonna go in and i hardly ever feel good about last second shots like that but i had faith in Gallo.

Not standing there with his hand on his hips looking annoyed and disinterested?


Might have been thinking of what he was going to do if the ball went in...celebrate, or get serious for OT...

Could have been thinking about how things had gone in the New Hampshire primary...


Might have realized that he forgot to book a flight out of NYC for his vacation...


Perhaps thinking of when he was going to watch the latest episode of The Expanse, which he had DVR'd.


Probably wondering whether Fisher was watching the game, and what he might have done differently.

Maybe he should have been.....

On his knees praying?

Standing with his arms in the air in a "pre-celebratory" pose?

Covering his eyes?

Knocking on wood?

Yelling, "GO IN"!!!!

Dabbing?
