You guys gotta remember something. Gallo was playing the Knicks. In reality he's a 16 point scorer who gets most of his points from the line. And not in the superstar sense where you get 30 points a game and 10 from the line. He gets like 10 from the line and a few FGs. I'm exaggerating but you know what I mean. He is not better than Melo.

Gotta admit he gets his chuck on, but it isn't his fault.

That's what he was told to work on right after the draft.


That's what the coaching staff is supposed to work with him on. You can argue that coaching staff might not be able to reach vets, but a rookie. There's no excuse for a coaching staff not being able to work with and corral a rookie unless that rookie is Terrence Williams II.

Bobcats game proves nothing. Its over. Go ahead and drag it out. We invested too much in these players. He cant work em. Dont matter how anyone feels anymore. The guy has to go.

Sunday is a big news paper day. NY sports looking for except for the knicks. Perfect high low story.

I would LOVE that. But alas, chances of that happening right now are about as good as this imanshumpert guy lasting on RGM.

Or basically, if Melo was in Gallinari's place playing this team he'd have gone off as well.

i'll say something surprising. the knicks actually played pretty well this game. once melo and baron are healthy, this thing is gonna be alright. i care less about this actual game. in the grand scheme of things, it's meaningless, like all of falcindor's posts.

And with Baron coming back perfect time to implement a different gameplan.

gallinari knows when to score and when to pass


Gallo's a good player. Karl is utilizing him much better that D'Antoni.I wish him luck in Denver.

and that's the frustrating thing about this, we all saw gallinari was more than just a three point shooter but d'antoni just restricted his talents and made him a bail out three point shooter.

Gallo added on weight which is helping. As shown in year 1, he was fragile when charging forward when he tweaked his back and as a result made him shy from taking contact.

Its a shame guys like Harrington and Lee and McGrady in 09 ballhogged and refused to let Gallo get in command but Gallo never liked to drive it in because he was too fragile and because he was often unlucky with injuries.

The added weight has helped him big time this year.

What made this worse is Harrington going off and acting like the biggest douche bag.

I'm sort of happy for Gallo/Mozgov since they're our guys in a way, even though we did lose. Harrington is just a **** ninja turtle, **** him.

If he doesn't listen, you bench him. Fans aren't stupid, they know what's going on. You earn your minutes, no entitlement. Rose was benched last year for not playing defense. There's a reason you see them with a top record...

There was a play where Melo had the ball and Amare was in post position expecting a pass but Melo told him to move and missed a jumper going one on one. But a good coach won't put up with this B.S. and would bench Melo be in his ear about it. But regardless we would have won if we didn't switch on defense, but that's D'antoni for you.

What does getting in his ear do if you aren't going to bench him?

Yeah, D'antoni isn't gonna bench him.

Now Thibbs would do it in a heartbeat.

I've watched games last year and this year, where he benches Noah and Boozer in the 4th.

Good luck the rest of the year. Not trolling, but it was a great game. Denver was fortunate to get out with a win. Could see this being the game that turns around the Knicks.
