Gallo or Chandler?

[andremiller96]

Not trolling here, but you guys are all crazy. Comparing players isn't always about statistics. Sometimes, some players are just better at playing basketball than other players, stats or no stats, and Chandler is just a better basketball player. He is much better at penetrating the defense and scoring, he is a better shooter - at least more consistent, not going cold for weeks at a time like Gallo - and he is much more athletic and versatile. Language is very limited sometimes when trying to describe something, and sometimes you just have to watch and see to understand. If I was playing pick up ball, I'd choose Chandler everyday of the week

Ask random NBA GM who he'd pick between the 2...

Yeah but a lot of GM's get depersonalized from the game and become obsessed with stats. They become detached and forget the big picture. Lithuania showed that good chemistry and team play are the most important things in basketball, not ball hogs and pure skill. Some players just don't fit into certain teams, regardless of how good they are. Just imagine if you put Kobe Bryant on the Dantoni Suns. They would be terrible. It's all about chemistry and team dynamics, and Gallinari just didnt fit into this team, but the main reason Id pick Chandler is just because he is an all around better basketball player than Gallo.

Again, some players are just better at playing basketball than others, regardless of stats. A lot of times players are held back by coaches, points guards and systems, so they get crappy shots or never get the chance to get into a rhythm, so you never truly see their true potential. Just look at Jeremy Lin. His number aren't very good, but if you watch him play, you can tell that he is an elite level point guard, and all around great basketball player, but because of Harden getting a lot of the touches and playmaking opportunities, you haven't really had many chances to see him truly shine. Over the past few weeks though, Mchale is putting the ball in his hands more and he is delivering big time, and we're seeing just how special a player he is.

I'll take Chandler because he attacks the basket and penetrates the defense more effectively. He's also a better defender.

seriously??

all the top 3 (in terms of Net point per 100 possessions)
5-man, 4-man, 3-man, 2-man combinations has Gallo into lineup

and you say that Gallo just didnt fit into Nuggets... it's a joke?

and Gallo-Chandler is a great complimentary duo... best 2-man combination (>300 min) of Nuggets with +14.5 Net Points (over 100 possessions)... for comparison Lebron-Wade has +14.9 Net points (over 100 possessions), Durant-Westbrook +10.2 Net points (over 100 possessions)

I would take chandler at this point. Gallinaris acl will hold him back.

Those numbers can be helpful, and they look nice and flashy, but common. lets just use our common sense here. all you have to do is watch each player, and its very clear who is better. how many 35 point games has gallinari had this season, with all the touches he gets. i don't think he's had any, because he doenst have it in him. did you SEE chandler against the spurs? we just saw that blessing in disguise i was predicting. brewer and chandler had the green light, and they exploded

And stop taking grantland as gospel. just because they have the flashy website and hotshot writers doesnt mean theyre right about everything because i can tell you just finished reading their recent article( absurd in my opinion) about the nuggs

sometimes I think you're a nyk troll... with the infinite battle Gallo/Chandler about who is the best

imo Gallo and Chandler are not substitutive but complimentary... I follow Gallo/Chandler from NY time and the strenght of duo is that they can switch in the game the 3/4 (and some 2) very good... both with 15 fg are capable of 25 points with great defense (better Chandler in post and better Gallo in iso and P&R)

in the clutch time I am convinced that Karl would go plays a small team with Iguodala-Gallo-Chandler... I do not care who starts from Gallo or Chandler but I know that both will play over 30 mins when healty

so what's the point?

Goo Nuggets and f... the "superstars team"
