that would be a valid response if the knicks had actually competed against the lakers at all. the lakers looked SLOPPY. they had 25 turnovers that had LITTLE to do with the knicks. and they still won going away.

Oh.

Hill looked good and made bynum work. amazing how he douldn't get in the game while gasol and bynum were gaoing wild...

Chandler shot 5-20.. how is he allowed to take 20 shots? the same amound as kobe...

hughes, harrington, jeffries, curry and duhon were a combined mess...

they need to put the ball in gallo's hands more and have him create.

in the atlanta game, he and toney douglas had a nice two man game going at times. if duhon doesn't know how to find gallo, he should sit.

For somebody that is continually being freezed out by your teams lead guards, he filled out the stat lines pretty well.

Watching the game last night, you can see that Dudu and Nate does not want to pass to Gallo.

Gallo just does a lot of things really good. From defense to making the right decisions and making really good catchable passes that lead to baskets. Until Coach Pringles divorces himself from Dudu and Nate, we will never truly see what Gallo can do.

i think nate and duhon want to find cutters for layups and pass to shooters as a last resort. they don't know how to set up easy shots for shooters. i don't know if d'antoni's offense is all that good at creating easy shots for shooters. there are almost never screens outside of the main pick and roll at the top of the key. everything comes out of that. and now people know how to defend lee and duhon for the most part, while keeping someone at home on gallinari.

mike needs to think of a new plan to get gallo the ball - hoping someone leaves him wide open to go down and help on the pick and roll is not working. gallo is good at creating, he and toney should run pick and rolls themselves. heck, have gallo run the pick and roll with dlee - they had that gorgeous bounce pass play last night. why is duhon the only one who runs the pick and roll? he doesn't shoot if they sag and he is too timid to drive to the rack. you'd think toney or gallo could do a better job running the pick and roll from the top of the key. or nate or larry hughes, even.

I agree. I think that Gallo has the skillset to run the pick-and-roll effectively.
