27 point lead - come on, why wouldn't we get a glimpse of Wilcox now?

By bigger concern is why come Gallinari ain't seeing more time. Too much Q Rich.

Remember when we put in Curry in Dallas and let a 9 point or 11 point lead turn into 2 in a hearbeat? Yeah, not the same lead or team, but, you get the idea of what can happen by doing that.

Close out this half strong. Destroy them in the third. Worry about Wilcox and Gallo in the late 4th as we're ensured a victory.

As to Gallo - he just hasn't looked all that good for a while. Seems slow and unsure. At least he's still feisty on defense though. Offense he needs to get his ass moving.

Gallo needs to start driving to the basket. His outside is not working right now.

He touch the ball but his man was immediately on him and he had to give it up. The problem is that he is unable to lose his man off the dribble. I'm not sure if I want to blame his teammates for that. I can't believe that the guy need screens but the guy appears to need screens.

Agreed - usually reasonably insightful. He'll make a good commentator at the end of his career.

I have a different take on this. I have seen him get past his man a lot. Remember the pic him leaving Reezy behind? I think he just needs playing time and actually get him in the mix.

In my opinion he is being played differently. Tight man to man, closing immediately out on him style of defense. Tip my hat to Bargs for getting right in his face. I thought he was going to give him a kiss at one point. The one time he tried to take his man off the dribble (too much dribbling), he traveled.

I'm hoping he's not a little stiff.

Besides, regardless of what we want as fans, this is Gallo getting a chance to get his feet wet, and he will remain on a minutes schedule as to not aggravate his condition, and he will put work in over the summer, and come NEXT season is when we will start to see what we got with Gallo. There will be plays run for him, he will be in the mix, as opposed to being out there as a learning experience.

That given I feel it's hard to critique what we are seeing and what can or should be done about it. We're on a playoff run (believe in that or not) and we're not going to restructure what we are doing to get Gallo involved as a go-to-guy (even if 3rd or 4th goto). Just not going to do it. He's out there like Steve Kerr was on the Spurs late in his career. Go out there, if you get your shot, take it type of deal, just don't do anything crazy, and for the most part sit back and let the team do it's thing, and just put in on defense as to not be a liability.

....at least, that's my take, in my humble opinion, right or wrong, stfu or gtfo, etc.
