yea really... lets focus here.

I dont think Gallo is ready to be a #1 scoring option. But what he does do is always make good choices with the ball. He either takes a good shot or draws contact.

I agree fish, maybe not right now is he a #1 option, but I would like to see him get more touches, not necessarily more shots, just more touches in the offense.. especially in the beginning of offensive sets..

It looks like he is getting bigger as the season progresses. He's 20 so it could be he's still just filling out. I guess my point is I am still not sure what his position is. He gets any bigger and he will have a very hard time guarding 3's. I have him as the 4 in a Lebron lineup. Time will tell. What is obvious though is he simply doesnt force shots. Thats why he does so well when other guys are doing well. Once the defense sags off Gallo he makes them pay. If other guys arent hitting shots and they stay up on Gallo he will pass before forcing anything. He's more aggressive late in games though...

Terry plz pull my card(you're not ICE) LOL

I stand by my point, gallo head is not in the game early on, the pressure was on in the Toronto game and he didn't even come into the game prepared to play. Italy was watching for crying out loud and he was still in the locker room ! Until he made a layup the guy was lost out there !

yea. my son and i were noticing how he has gotten bigger... I think his true position with be the 4. He just needs to get a bit stronger. Honestly, no matter how athletic you are, it is hard for any guy 6'11 to guard these quicker and shorter small forwards..... jared jeffries is a very good at defending smaller players, but even he has to lay back a bit, and with these talented scorers they can just pull up and shoot on you all day...

I am just asking for some proof.. right now you are just throwing stuff out there and hoping it sticks.. MAYBE like most players in the league he has come out and missed a few, and most likely has done this less than you think.. the problem here, is that you have your mind fixated on that.. It feeds your agenda, so I can see how you would have tunnel vision in this area.

Earlier in the season wasn't the knock on Gallo that he came out hot and disappeared? Clyde certainly said so on a number of occasions, and I hear HE WATCHES THE GAMES. So, at best, the claim about Gallo coming out unprepared would only hold for the latter part of the season to date.

And if you think about it, if a guy shoots 44%, that means he misses 56%. Over the course of a season, some of those misses will come early, some late; some when the game is close, some when it isn't. So picking a spell of 10 or 15 games is too small a sample size to establish a statistically significant pattern of when a player tends to get his shots to fall.

Gallo could use a PG that is looking to get everyone involved early. It often seems that Gallo just can't get a feel cuz of a lack of touches. I think it would help to let him do a little point forward work early to get him focused and engaged.

agreed. and that means he doesn't settle for his outside shot.

It feeds your agenda, so I can see how you would have tunnel vision in this area.

Instead od asking other people for proof--why don't you do the homework youself--it's not that hard--go to ESPN and look at his first 5 shots per game on the play by play--roughly HALF of his average shots and its sitting in the MID 30's. That means he is shooting in the high 40% in the second half of games--which counts of course but how many times ahev we been down 15-20 points in the 40 games?
When I started my reply--I went to ERSPN to do the homeowork--the game counts when it's not out of hand--sure it's helpful to get back in it and there's been some games he just played well in--but the fact of the matter is he has NOT started off well when the game is close. That doesnt mean it cant change--but that isnt 8pulling stats out of the air or my arse or what have you--I just tell the truth as I see it. The bottom line is Gallo shoots MIG 30s on his first 5 shots for the year--go do the homework and come back to me and tell me that Im pulling it out of air. You've been the one with the big mouth and the attacks---it's funny because I have 13K posts and this was the first time I BET anyone anything--while Gallo probably has gotten some nice fat looks in the 2nd half due to other teasm laying down--to be fair hes been very good for the most part in those second halfs.

Briggs... what are you saying here? All the pissing has gotten me confused (it doesnt take much).

Gallo is one of the best Knicks in the clutch. Has anyone else on this team hit more big shots than him? Are we talking about the start of games? OK... what are you saying? He needs to be more assertive? Aggressive? His head isnt in it? Quit the dick measuring and make your point fellas.

Great Point. I think with a better PG who understood how to get the ball to his teammates that makes them better, then Gallo would have an easier time adjusting. How many times has Gallo been on the court and not touched...I repeat, TOUCHED, the ball on the offensive end for several minutes? Does he deserve some blame? Sure. But I would bet Nash would by know have found a way to get the kid involved early and on most sets. That is what a PG does.

Briggs, I have actually looked for myself. but honestly, it is a waste of time, because I didn't make the claim. I think if you want to make such a claim, pulling it out of the air, then you should have some proof to back it up. If not, then stop sticking by it, as if it is truth!!!

Briggs, how silly is that? what determines a game being out of hand? down 20 with 3 minutes left? Hell yes.. but down 20 with 3 quarters left is not out of hand briggs.. If he shoots 2-5 instead of 4-5 briggs will that stop his team from being down 20? see how silly that is? No one starts off every game going 5-5!! Your original post made it seem like he was stat padding in blowout garbage time games.. and YOU WERE SO WRONG... It is ok to backtrack, because your argument makes no sense!! LOL..

So let me get this straight.. if he goes 2-5 and his team goes down 20, and then goes 8-8 and leads his team to victory.. that doesn't count? rofl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
