Wade looked shakey at times. Just all shakn' up!!!!!
When they start coming out to gallo he will be able to go by them. It is said the kid can pass, so whey they come at him, and he goes past the defender on the paremter, he can pull up or create even more if a second defender comes at him. He sent a message that you can't leave him open last nite. I know he is not Jesus or anything but we got a kid that at 6-10 freakin lit it up from the arch! Not many in the league can do what he does. As fans, we just go the hope. Lets jump ahead, is there anyone on Cleveland that is Gallo? Donyall Marshall was a playoff star a few years back with lebron cuz lebron demands doubles and he was able to just light it up. Im wishing and hoping like everyone else. |

Let's start with Steve Novak and Matt Bonner. I see that Galinari had a nice game Vs. Orlando. And? We need to see it consistently. I'm not going to get excited over 1 good game or depressed about 1 bad game. 10 in a row either way and I will start reacting.
Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

Ooh Ahh fans of a team tend to get excited when one of their young players hits 7 3 pointers in a game. It's kind of an exciting thing. Trust me the moment he goes 1-9 the fans will be ripping him apart so I wouldn't worry about the excitement at this point. I just hope that people will like me

1 thing i've noticed about Gallo's shooting... he's a damn good shooter.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

After shooting 44% from three, last season, as a very young rookie with a seriously bad back, I don't understand why anyone would doubt his ability to shoot.

The kid is KVH with a handle and lesser rebounding skills.
Happy? The kid lit it up and I liked watching it and got excited. It was fun to watch during a terrible game for the knicks. Im not ready to annoint him messiah like expectations but this is just in the face of Knick fans riding the bi-polar coaster of regret over the woulda-coulda-shouda's in the last two drafts. |

tkf wrote: Galinari certainly has more potential than Bonner or Novak. He's made some good offensive plays. But right now I see a gunner, kind of like Al Harrington but with less athleticism and less inside play, but a more pure shot. And TKF, there are a lot of tall players who can shoot from outside and put it on the floor. In fact Harrington is one of them! SO is Turkoglu. Stojakovic, Rashard Lewis and there are examples too, and there are other similar guys who are not quite as good as they are. I think you may be overstating the ability Galinari has displayed to break down an defense just a tad.... oohah Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

But look at who you are comparing him to.. guys like lewis.. I will take that.. LOL.. I don't know if I am overstating his ability to break down defenses. He takes what they give him. there was a play where they closed out on him, he drives and hits a wide open chandler who bricks a shot... again, that is just not common from 6'11 players...

When I see Galinari fake out a man at the 3 point line, cross up another guy, spin and finish with a slam we can start comparing his handle to Van Horn's. Dude, what is the point of me arguing with what you HOPE is true as opposed to what we have actually seen? You want Galinari to be everything we hope him to be. I get it. What we have actually seen is a big dude who can shoot and put it on the floor decently. He hasn't been shaking and breaking people up, cramming it in people's faces, nothing like that. Van Horn was doing that as a rookie. oohah Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

It will be interesting to read the hate if Gallinari, or Hill, for that matter, score 30 pts in a game. Better that Gallo score 5 or 6 and be under the radar than to have a good game and face the wrath of some folks around here.

now it's no credit because he didn't do it all 82 games last year with a jacked up spine. no need to annoint him, but no need to tear him down either. comparing him to garbage-ass stiffs is weak. as a knicks fan, i got hope for the dude. check out my latest hip hop project: https://soundcloud.com/michaelcro http://youtu.be/scNXshrpyZo

The difference here is I have a balanced outlook and you are typing with your hope-hands acting like he has proven something other than he is a good shooter. The fact is he hasn't demonstrated anything except that he is a gifted shooter. There I have given him credit for that does that make you happy? NOw you don't have to make up anymore statements for me. It's not about "credit" it is about a realistic assessment of what we have seen from him. Don't take it so personal. I guess I could youtube some games where he didn't play so well and try to go tit-for-tat but it doesn't matter. I'm going to wait and see. In the meantime, you go ahead and feel free to make him into a superstar today and if it turns out that he isn't, you'll probably tear him down to the same degree that you are putting him on an undeserved pedestal now. Not everything is so extreme and/or personal Evil. Breeeeeathe in...now exhale. P.S. Hitting a ****load of buckets when a game is over is not a "good night". According to this board, at least not when Nate Robinson does it, so I will judge Galinari the same way. Now breeeeathe in...and exhaaaale. oohah Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

Let's say Gallo never improves his game and for the rest of his career he stays a dead eye outside shooter. As a coach I ask, what is wrong with that?
I just hope that people will like me

I just simply don't think he realizes his potential. Van Horn had ball handling skills too, and that's why I actually said from the beginning Gallo might be similar to a cross between Allan Houston and Van Horn (When he's playing good) at his best, which is a good thing. With that said, I hardly remember Van Horn doing many cross moves and slamming over guys. Maybe on rare occasion, but he was mainly a shooter. So to say Gallo is not a better ball handler than KVH is premature. I think he's shown he could be better, but we'll have to wait and see, b/c I don't think Gallo knows it. “Whenever I’m about to do something, I think ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if they would, I do NOT do that thing.”- Dwight Schrute
