What do you take from that?

i take from it that they're both good players.

I take that lee should not have taken 20 shots and should have been looking to outwork lopez and keep him off the board.. lees 24 points were useless in that, we could have gotten some of those points from chandler... we needed lee to keep lopez out of the lane... make him work hard... lee trying to be a main option offensively in a game like this is not necessary.

Cmon Terry, do you really believe all yr long our players on 1 yr contracts are going to continue to play team ball? The players under one yr contracts understand Walsh and Danphoney are focused on big names free agents knowing they might not be around next yr. These guys know it's a business and will start to do what's best for them.

Guys like Harrington and Lee will take more shots(playing for a new contract) in games.

you still remember that name.. LOL.. of course it is not my name, but feel free playa. now all I need is iceman to come in here yelling and prodson getting on your case and this would be 2001 revisited... LOL

I said this before.. trying to develop young players while getting vets their minutes who are on expiring deals is a volitile mix... the key is, what is dantoni doing? trying to develop the kids or getting the vets their money.. I think it is pretty obvious here..

Because if thats a foul then lopez shoulda has at least 3 fouls in the situation because my sons and I watching noticed this numerous times. The reason a player does this is because he cant keep up with the player driving. Now numerous times the nets walked (they looked like they were dancing) ,pushed off with the off hand while dribbling and shooting, etc. . I understand the harder playing team gets the calls but last nite was rediclous(sp).Not to even mention how many times nets players were boxed out and went over the back. Now as for our faults at the end of the game when Gallo hits those 2 3s in a row,isnt it a pgs job to feed the hot hand? Also agree with putting the zone in when a coach notices his players are tired, and that the other team has a height advantage and were driving the lane at will. IMO this loss falls on MDA because hes not recognizing certain things and I think his assistants are not noticing this either.Does anyone notice that whenever the camera goes on the bench Herb Williams is always smiling or laughing?? MDA needs a better staff too. All this IMHO

officiating was a mess, but it should not have come down to that.. and yes, it was a joke.. brook lopes should have just tied his hand to lee's hip.. he hand checked him all damn night.. my son and I were laughing at how he was going over the back with no calls.. it got so bad, he just didn't hide he was trying to foul.. LOL

that's why i like lopez. he just goes right at it and forces the refs to over- or under-react.

i've said before i still prefer Gallo over Yi because of other factors than just his talent... i like Gallo's gumption & his competitiveness, & i've been as encouraged as anyone else when Gallo has a good game, u know this... he's real mature for a kid his age & i like his instincts on the floor... still, talent wise i don't see much of a difference there... i think Yi has some very impressive skills & there's really no telling how much of a ceiling he's got at this point... some things he did tonight made me think Chris Bosh... i haven't watched him play as much as you have so i'll defer somewhat to your judgement but i think he's a good young player in his own right & would love to have him on my team anyday.

When it comes to pure talent I don't see how one couldn't say Jianlian is not more talented than Gallinari. Jianlian is taller, faster, jumps higher, is quicker, more agile, is a better rebounder, Goes to the rack better and has a midrange game, similar ball-handling skills, and plays better defense.

Still, Jianlian has not put it all together yet - and he might not ever, but his talent is exceptional.

yeah, and channing frye is an all-star. we've read your scouting reports before.
