I really don't know what happened to Gallo. The only thing that I've been hearing was that he likes to party a lot. Him and Dohoun. Some players just can't handle New York, they get caught out there. Gallo needs to leave the party life alone and work on him game.

They were trying to make an argument that Gallinari is a better fundamental rebounder than Lee.

I asked if Gallinari is so much better and also two inches taller with more length--why did David Lee have 36 rebounds--31 DEFENSIVE to Gallo's5 3 Defensive over the last two games? We were +3 and even in the last two games in the reb dept--why? David Lee pulled down 36 frikin rebounds! David Lee PURSUES rebounds--he gets good position and has his hands up and gives the EFFORT needed to get the ball. Who has played basketball here--you pursue rebounds with effort---effort rebounding is effort.

The answer must be David is stealing rebounds from Gallo! Maybe Gallo will pull up his pants be a man and go get me 8-10 rebounds tonight against the very soft YI.
