that translates to a player who gets his own but doesn't make others better. i say fool's gold.

by the way that first game gallinari scored 18 points in the same first half that beasley scored 19 points when they were checking each other.

but sure beasley is a million times better.


And Beasley scored how many in the second half and Gallo scored how many in the second half/

Yes. Gallinari is inconsistent. No sarcasm.

And yes...Beasley is better than Gallinari. No argument necessary.

Here's your Gallinari and Beasley discussion topic if you want to compare the two...

viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1001677



second half of that game chandler started guarding beasley. you should be comparing chandler's second half numbers, not gallinari's, to beasley's.

i'll save you the trouble: beasley outscored chandler.

if gallinari had an almost 29% usage rate one can only wonder what he would be doing offensively every night. and defensively it's no contest. gallinari is the better defender and defense is at least half the game. most casual fans like you conveniently leave that out habitually.

"better" is a matter of opinion unless you can create similar contexts-- and because you can't your just guessing, aside from the fact you have admitted you just don't like gallinari. not only that but "better" is virtually meaningless in a team sport. individual sports, sure. but not team sports.

i don't know who is "better," but i do know whose game translates better to winning as of right now.



that is why I asked, better at what? he is not a better "basketball player" than gallo.. gallo is a "basketball player". beasley is a guy who likes to shoot the ball... and has proven that when conditions are not to his liking(as in miami) he can be a slouch..

I think Gallo would thrive with all the touches Beasley gets in Minny.

Beasley was in the playoffs last season. In fact, Beasley has been to the playoffs both years that he played in the league. Gallo has yet to get there. Guess that's negated.

What is the reason for turning this into a Gallo vs Beasley topic? Outside of Knicks fans, no one would agree with it. No matter how much they hate Beasley or love Gallinari. Why can't we just move on and stick to the topic at hand?

He can score better but he's not a better pure shooter. Besides scoring and rebounding, Beasley doesn't do many other things better than Gallo.
Gallo is a better shooter , passer, ball mover, GASP...Defender!

When you're saying someone is a better player because they're a better ball mover...something is seriously wrong. Gallinari is a better ball mover because he can't do the things Beasley does. That's why he has to move the ball. You don't gain credit for being a better ball mover, as if being a guy that can ISO is a bad thing. Where do people come up with this stuff?

And Beasley is a better midrange shooter, inside scorer, and deep ball shooter. Gallo is better at the freethrow line. I swear I'm not responding to another post in this topic that attempts to argue Gallinari being better than Beasley. If you want to discuss this with me, take it to the player comparison board.
