Despite winning with a less than 100% Melo & losing Kristaps' for the game, we should not have allowed the sixers back in this game.

starting Galloway will give us a better on ball defender allowing Jose to guard 2s.
Afflalo's D is a bit overrated and he's not much of a passer which is why he'd fit better on the 2nd unit with Grant. Grant & Afflalo could thrive together bc of their skill sets.

Afflalo has actually been really damn good as a starter. He's averaging 18.5ppg on 49fg% and 49% from 3 since the New Year's Day massacre to the Bulls. Knicks are 6-3 since then with a 1pt loss in San Antonio and two losses in games Melo missed.

They were in a good flow then Melo got hurt. Let Melo get healthy and in rhythm again and they'll be fine.

It seems to me like AA plays much better when he's on the floor with Melo so although i would still like an upgrade at SG cause AA doesn't do anything but score i still think with this team he needs to be the starting 2 guard. I wish Gallo could find his shot cause i'd love to see him as a bigger offensive player for us. He was great down the stretch last night with his defense, getting to the basket and he had a nice block in OT that was big for us. He started off the season so good with his 3 ball and i know some of these guys that are good shooters will lose their shot but not for as long as Gallo has lost his. A Gallo with his 3 ball dropping with all the other little things he does could actually be the starter over AA but he's gotta find his shot.

It is pretty clear we have to upgrade from Jose. AA is just fine. He will win you some games and he will disappear other games. This is why he is a good role player and not a star. Jose is the weak link. Phil has one last decision to make this season and it will ba a pivotal one. If he can't find us a good replacement for Jose with the 2 open spots(including Early's spot) we might not make the playoffs this year. I actually don't mind Jose as long as he is not starting. He can be an effective offball guard off the bench. His defensive liabilities will be lessened since he will be used against benches instead of starters.

Oh my! Why would you remove a both sides of the ball type of player off the starting 5 and replace him with a dude that ho is shorter? The switch needs to be Gallo for Jose. The triangle does not need a pure PG; isn't that you all always claimed in the past? Gallo is quicker, unafraid to turn the ball over, defends a little and will take the big shot. I am puzzled at why it has taken the coaching staff this long to realise such a simple switch!
Thank God Fisher is no longer our coach, now let's get Calderon out of here:)

because jose is by far the better option at pg, golloway maybe slighly better defensively, but his shooting percentage is way way down, and he is not that much better guarding quicker pgs. I keep bringing up the fact that calderon is 2nd on the team in steals

Gallo is not a pg at all. He can't really pass, afraid to take a shot, is not very aggressive on offense and over rated on defense. He is a backup at best.

fishmike 9/27/2024 11:00 PM Ug I hate this. The idea of Towns is great until you see what a pussy he is. Jules is a dog. DD was a flamethrower locked up cheap for 3 more years. First Leon move I hate

I think Jose should stay the starter but after last night game Gallo has earned the chance to finish games especially close ones that we need better defenders. The problem with Gallo is his consistency but he still deserves the chance.

All these threads on figuring out the PG problem are good, and I think Phil and Fish realize a change is needed, but need Jose to come to Fish and say go get player X who is better and I will move to bench.
Nixluva is posting triangle screen grabs, even when nobody asks - Fishmike. LOL So are we going to reference that thread like the bible now? "The thread of Wroten Page 14 post 9" - EnySpree
