please make yourself more relevant in knicks games. i have faith you can.

--dont overpass, ny dont need a third pass, make magic happen.

--fake a three then step into the arc and shoot that high % midrange j.

--look at shawne working hard to get your minutes, get mad, play harder.

I don't know if Gallo is going to become a 4th option or redundant. He did play hard, but just not a difference maker. Good on D, but not the stopper. I see nice options for the 2nd unit.

You have to get a better sense of what Gallo represents for this team. He's another smart, team 1st player with size and skill. He has been streaky, but he's no Jamal. When he's not hitting he does other things that help us win and he had been taking the ball to the hole. One thing we have to keep in mind is that he's not a go for mine type of guy. Perhaps it hurts him at times, but as long as he can get back to being aggressive it should all work out. RIght now the team is winning so i'm not worried.

settle down... he's playing good team BB right now. He didnt score a ton but made some nice plays and passes.

Knicks are kicking ass because they are playing like a team... all 5 guys are working hard and making things happen, and nobody can stop Amare and Felton.

Lets see how it goes... Very happy with whole team right now. Plus I'm drunk at 345 on a sunday, so pretty much all basises are coverede

i shall settle down a win is a win. i remember at one point ny pratically treated gallo as the prince in waiting to the franchise crown. and now the biggest plus to mention about him is he is a good helper.

gallo amar'e and felton can get you PAID man. they will make you look like a rockstar if you just let them. step up! let them know you down for a threesome!

What fish and sangfroid said. The guy is a baller and he's balling hard. It doesn't matter if he scores 5 points or 50, he's a key part of a winning team. It's all about the connections between the members of a team. The Knicks, they have good connections right now, they're working well together. He'll drop 30 on you real quick, but when he drops 5 or 10 points, he's doing other things. The guy is almost 7 feet tall and he moves like an antelope; that's special. You can't always break the game down into numbers, some of it is just raw hoops.

Gallo is like Tony Kuchoch was on the Bulls ....... Felton is Playing so well as is Chandler and Fields

We are all clicking yet there is only one ball...... Gallo took seven shots...... 5 assists lead to 13 points
so he was an impact.....

Not to mention if you really watch game Gallo's man never leaves him and he gets doubled so NBA has got memo
you better guard Gallo close!!

Not even Melo could spread floor as well as Gallo has!!

KNICKS on the way UP!!!

i watched the game today, and i watched the numbers. the number i watch most is the minutes of amar'e.

stat played under 40 minutes for the win today, thanks to shawne williams stepping up. that should light a fire in gallo's belly, cause there is only one man's minutes mr. williams is going after, gallo's.

you over-pass enough, you will tally assists. to be frank (in comparison) toney had a more impressive impact in this game, with key steals and opportunistic fast penetrating attacks to the basket.

Toni Kukoc was the man. My hero growing up. I had a Kukoc jersey. This was before you could order anything you want on the internet. I searched for months for his jersey.

Gallo is worth two Kukoces.

the key is, he didn't overpass.. usually when one overpasses it doesn't lead to points.. overpassing would indicate that you passed one time to many which led to either a turnover or a worse shot... so tell me, when did he overpass? classic example of overpassing was fields who received a pass for gallo wide open, faked moved in for a nice mid range shot and then passed it back to gallo who was not in good position or set to take a three that he missed.. that was overpassing..

the way im using the word overpass is the way i defined it in my original post. i dont want to see gallo make that third pass i want him to be aggressive and go after that field goal. if he can not, he will play himself out of minutes if shawne keeps doing what gallo should be doing.

This is not true at all. Williams isn't taking Gallo's minutes. He's taking Walker's minutes. Gallo played 40 minutes! The guy was part of the unit that was playing well and his presence keep the floor spread. Gallo made the right decisions with the ball and is like another PG out there. We all would like for him to stay aggressive, but so long as the team is winning I see no issue here.

walker (that zombie) you think shawne is gunning for walker minutes hehe. toronto's announcers gave props to shawne's late quarter defense. its not only shawne's shot thats effective. ronny turiaf is out so there is extra minutes up for grabs. when turiaf returns and gets his minutes back we will all see who's minutes shawne is after.

Didn't see the game today and was underwhelmed by Gallo's line until I saw he was +19 in +/-, second only to Stat. How do you say "intangibles" in italiano?

i think the most concern is his lack of getting to the line. averaging 2.17 fta last 6 games including this one. a few times down the court he went and jacked up a contested 20 fter with 18 secs left on the shot clock which is becoming a very bad habit of his along with throwing up 3s 5 ft behind the line. i don't understand why they insist on making the 3 a harder shot than it is.

the key to his consistency is going to be his effort getting to the basket. he had a couple nice drives including a nifty pass to amar'e. hopefully it changes in the next few games.

He had that streak of games when he was getting to the line at an amazing rate and how he hasn't taken one in two games...

Puzzling.

Probably think about Melo instead of driving to the hoop. Formula of success forgotten that happens with Gallo, he like to jack the three.

I don't really know what to make of it - Gallo being on the floor opens things up for the rest of the team - his presence helps space the floor. At some point, teams are going to have to focus more of their attention on Amare and that'll be Gallo's day to shine.

I can't really say what Gallo's doing is a problem - we're winning, baby, and that's what matters. Two schools of thought:
* he's not showcasing his full talent, which hurts in terms of using him as a trading block to get Carmelo.
* if our intent is to keep him long term and we do believe he's got all-star potential in him, it'll be good from a contract perspective if he stays this way for another year to avoid having to give him a max deal!

Of course, maybe this is just what he is - maybe this is his upside (don't think so)... but I don't think anyone is convinced that he's capable of being the #1 or #2 scorer on a winning team yet.
