? did u read what i said? i said the same bashing we're hearing on Hill this year was given to Gallo last year by the usual suspects... i never said anything about Hill being on Gallo's level in terms of talent or potential... but if u haven't watched many Arizona games last year u might not wanna sleep on Jordan Hill... the guy can play.

"basketball strenght, more core strength and explosivness." please stop nitpicking at Gallo. 27 and 10 is a beautiful thing.

He has played a grand total of 46 NBA games. A little over a half season. With experience, confidence and a fluid 6'11 running buddy at center, things can only get better.

Why of why can't Nate Robinson be 6'8?

If you know me, when it comes to gallo, the last thing I do is nitpick... LOL..

we are just talking about some areas he needs to work on.. I am still smiling from last nights game, but when you start playing like that. Teams take notice.. teams are already guarding gallo at the three point line.. I am just looking at ways he can get so much better.... just look at brandon jennings after that 55 point game.. teams started paying more attention to the young fella.

This is far from nitpicking gallo... I am one of the few strong gallo defenders on here along with TMS...

don't leave me out dude.

of course not....

funny thing is the guy i really wanted that year in the draft was OJ Mayo, but we couldn't trade up to get him... i kept an open mind on Gallo after we picked him... the kid definitely had skills as anyone could see from his YouTube clips & scouting reports... alot of posters around here react so emotionally if we don't pick the guys they want instead of stopping to really look & consider how good the guys we did pick could actually be... alot of the things we're hearing this year about Jordan Hill was said about Gallo last year... "he's raw, he looks lost, he looks soft, he's a bust" blah blah blah... Jordan Hill's gonna be just fine... he just needs the playing time... Gallo's turning out to be a terrific pick at #6... probably our best looking prospect since Mark Jackson.

sorry tms, but hill was NEVER in gallo's level. gallo was ALWAYS considered much higher in talent and potential than hill ever was. you serious, brotha??

It was good to see Gallo draw a few fouls today. He managed to score even though he didn't have a good shooting night. He'll be a much more consistent scorer if he can continue to get himself to the line.

He also was getting his hand on the ball defensively had a few steals and is rebounding better as the season progresses.

He gets over-powered inside on defense and I don't think that's going to change soon. Too bad the entire team has the same weakness.

Overrated? I thought his ratings were not so overwhelmingly favorable when he entered the league. Who "over"rated Wilson Chandler when he was drafted into the league?

The Mayor will get totally healed and continue to work on his game. He is the ripe old age of what, 23 or 24?

The stubborn impatience with this young player, who shows positive signs, is staggering.

oh sorry - i didn't mean overrated by the rest of the league. to clarify: i just meant overrated by certain fans on this board.

The better players get their points even when their shooting is off, although you hate to see anyone on your team have a 5/14 game.

Let me ask you a question. You know how when you run into a foreigner and they have a deep accent you are supposed to talk really slow and loud so that those stupid people can understand you better? So am I supposed to speak to you in all caps now?

I just hope that people will like me

I just had this random thought pop into my head - What if Gallo was to wear a David Lee jersey....do you think Duhon would pass him the ball?

I sometimes confuse the two of them on the court. White guys all look the same to me.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

What some of you havn't figured in is that most teams when they are up by double digits (19-20 pts)they tend to guard the paint area more than the perimitter. Gallo will always get his points in blowouts...nobody intensively guards the 3 pt area as much, matter fact defense is pretty lax out there.

Now when the game is close and on the line that's a different story. When the knicks had close games dantoni in the past had gallo on the bench...go figure.

Not sure I agree with your assessment. Actually Gallo's problem is that he seems to come out in the first quarter strong and then fades away after that.

Bip...that's the best you can come up wit ? So you disagree with my assessment that teams play lax defense on the perimitter when they are blowing another team out ?
