He was playmaking in the first half. Unselfish ball. Then he hit big shots and filled in until AMare and Felton took over.

Wilson was his usual quite good game, no knocks, but Gallo broke thru tonite.

He is not going to wake up in the morning and be Larry Bird, and not every game is he going to fly, but tonite the bar on his game got raised and he elevated the team and kept them in the game.

You can get melo but do not trade this kid.

That game was just flat out great! National TV, both teams duked it out, special plays and Amare was amazing!

I loved at half time he laughed when he said his neck hurt and he had to bend down to talk to the girl!!!! How many superstars would have just been flat on that? Dude was in the moment and just enjoying the whole experience!

This team is not perfect and we not contenders yet, but I like them, and like watching this team play like no other in over 10 years.

Do not trade Gallo!!! Do or don't do what you got to but Im thinking there other options. Plan A didn't work out but plan B is a hell of a plan!

Thank you Donnie!!! That was great even in defeat!

What about that floater and the foul with about a minute left, after Allen put them up by 3? Clutch. Let's talk about clutch. This guy, his blood, it's not human blood, it's ice in his veins. Nothing flows through his system, it's just ice, he's so cool all the time, how is he even alive? He's a mutant. The coolest player in crunch time in the league. You just can't scare this guy. And that's the type of mind we need on this team. He will be a huge part of our championship team.

Except for taking the entire first half off... yeah. I don't know what makes him turn it on/off so blatantly but unless he figures out how to keep it close to on all the time, I think the Knicks should look to move him

They did, they showed knicks they not ready to close games out, but thats a process that is learned.

Felton has been on the big stage before with UNC but he came up big.

Im not sure Im ready to call Gallo a "Cyborg Cold blooded Robo Gallo" but he came up big.

He finished stronger last nite going to the rim better than he has been. Take a step back and you can see the kid is still a work in progress and his game is much differnt than last year.

IM a fan. Don't ask me about trading our players.

if he don't want to be traded for Melo, this is what he is going to have to display over the next 20 games.

Think about it, he was not assertive as a 21 year old on a crap team and im sure as a 22 year old he is having to assert his will on a team with all world Amare and alpha Felton. HE is Progressing. It does happen.

Last nite was the first time I can see he showed up big in a big game in big moments. Then Felton and amare took over.

Its not just about "insert" melo and its all the same. No fields, no chandler and no Gallo and we think our ball movement stays the same?
