Somehow I have a feeling, we might ask the same question "give him another x years" 3 years from now also.

He's that type of player.

It's early but he needs to pick it up. I really hope he does. Also, Those complaining about Harden hurting his game I do not believe James played the 2nd half. I missed the 1st 4 minutes.

he won't end up on the bench, the rockets are rebuilding with he, harden and asik... lin is averaging 7 dimes and almost 5 boards a game with almost 3 steals, he isn't going to any bench.... he is a shade under 11ppg.. once his shooting gets a bit better, you will see his scoring go up a bit... Harden was sick and should not have played at all tonight... he didn't play in second half..

You really make up a lot of excuses for Lin and Harden. I get being a fan but bruh come on. Lin and more so Harden are now leaders of that team. Plus they are suppose to be players that make people around them better. IF Harden is a supa star beast why isn't he carrying the rockets which has a good team. I do watch the Rockets so lets not go "you must not watch their games". Harden was a decent defender but with that added pressure of being the alfa that has disappeared and yes he gets asst but he also turns the ball over.

Bottom line: Lin and Harden needs to step up. I hope Lin does and although I am not a Harden fan I don't want to see him fail.

I think you just like seeing yourself type... what excuse did I make... the rockets are not benching him, they don't have better options.. do you even watch the games? yes, I am going down that road... both he and harden are kids, they will figure it out, they have a lot to learn and much room to improve, non one denies that. stop creating arguments.... I have seen every game they have played.... they play hard, they compete and they make mistakes, hopefully they will cut down on those, that is when they will take the next step.... now that I got that covered anything else you want to add?

When it's game night the first door he walks through gets out of, to start the day is the Door he should be ready at. Quite possibly the door on a plane/hotel/practice gym/bus. Not sure if he'll ever be this type of player. usually you have this personality or you don't. You also have players on the other extreme of spectrum such as BustBrook and Melo which can be a detriment to a team

Gallo is more David Banner in Nature

You know you got to hit him over the head with a pipe, sucker punch him in the gut, body slam him, slice him buck fiddy style with a pocket knife across the chin/neck, kick dust in his eyes...

Then he'll start convulsing, scrunching his eyebrows, turn red, his clothes will start ripping and shredding then he's throwing tractor trailors, wild beast hundreds of yrds, splitting parts of the earth in half etc etc morphing into the Hulk.

The act is getting a little old from him. I would like to see him take the leap to the next level as he's been given all the opportunity to do so. There's no one holding him back or several times more alpha than him where he has to defer to.

A player I've been watching quite a bit this year since preseason is Nicolas Batum this dude is for real..... as is Thaddeus Young and Kahwai Leonard. Who in my estimation are better players than Gallo. I'll give some credit to Derozan too. He has stepped up and appears to be trying to live up to the bill along with Jrue Holiday.

Gallo should be better than most of these guys or at least at the very Top of this crop of talent. Heck on many nights Ryan Anderson/Illyasova/Chandler Parsons are better than him. This shouldn't be the case not a player with Gallo's skillset..... once again Gallo has been protected and coddled throughout his career he has no excuses. He should be doing 1 if not 2 things very well in the NBA every game not every 6 or 7gms.

So when they play the Wolves next on their schedule and he shoots 5-17fg starting out the game 1-8fg or Alexey Shved has a bigger game impact than him..... it makes his Grizzlies performance less.

With all that said Gallo is still 24yrs old and I wouldn't have given up on his talent along with the rest of the assets just yet in the package for Melo

funny you talk about batum. when I said he was a better talent than wilson chandler.. people on realgm were ready to have me banned..... LOL.. go figure..

batum has taken that step and is playing like an allstar, no wonder why the timberwolves tried to steal him.. haha..

I hope chandler gets healthy, way too good to be sitting on the bench..
