I still love Gallo. I think he will be fine. As 3G4G has said, Gallo is only 24 years old. You need to give him at least another 3 years before saying he is nothing but a role player. He has way too much talent to be discarded right away.

Somehow I have a feeling, we might ask the same question "give him another x years" 3 years from now also.

He's that type of player.

We are coming from 2 views. I actually like the guy so I will think that he will figure it out. You don't like him, I am assuming, so you would think that he will never get it.

Same can be said about Lin. 2 different points of view. This is why I frequent this board. It would be kinda boring if everybody agreed with me.

he won't end up on the bench, the rockets are rebuilding with he, harden and asik... lin is averaging 7 dimes and almost 5 boards a game with almost 3 steals, he isn't going to any bench.... he is a shade under 11ppg.. once his shooting gets a bit better, you will see his scoring go up a bit... Harden was sick and should not have played at all tonight... he didn't play in second half..

You really make up a lot of excuses for Lin and Harden. I get being a fan but bruh come on. Lin and more so Harden are now leaders of that team. Plus they are suppose to be players that make people around them better. IF Harden is a supa star beast why isn't he carrying the rockets which has a good team. I do watch the Rockets so lets not go "you must not watch their games". Harden was a decent defender but with that added pressure of being the alfa that has disappeared and yes he gets asst but he also turns the ball over.

Bottom line: Lin and Harden needs to step up. I hope Lin does and although I am not a Harden fan I don't want to see him fail.

I think you just like seeing yourself type... what excuse did I make... the rockets are not benching him, they don't have better options.. do you even watch the games? yes, I am going down that road... both he and harden are kids, they will figure it out, they have a lot to learn and much room to improve, non one denies that. stop creating arguments.... I have seen every game they have played.... they play hard, they compete and they make mistakes, hopefully they will cut down on those, that is when they will take the next step.... now that I got that covered anything else you want to add?

What makes you think his shooting will get better? It's not just like he's just missing open jump shots, the wild layups he was throwing up last year aren't going in anymore and he can't go left, the book on him is out. He's a decent player I always said he would be a solid backup PG not a starting PG let alone a star.

i don't know, i am hoping he is missing shots he made before.. heck you guys have hope for melo after 10 years right? well jeez is it to much to expect a talented kid to get better?

When it's game night the first door he walks through gets out of, to start the day is the Door he should be ready at. Quite possibly the door on a plane/hotel/practice gym/bus. Not sure if he'll ever be this type of player. usually you have this personality or you don't. You also have players on the other extreme of spectrum such as BustBrook and Melo which can be a detriment to a team

Gallo is more David Banner in Nature

You know you got to hit him over the head with a pipe, sucker punch him in the gut, body slam him, slice him buck fiddy style with a pocket knife across the chin/neck, kick dust in his eyes...

Then he'll start convulsing, scrunching his eyebrows, turn red, his clothes will start ripping and shredding then he's throwing tractor trailors, wild beast hundreds of yrds, splitting parts of the earth in half etc etc morphing into the Hulk.

The act is getting a little old from him. I would like to see him take the leap to the next level as he's been given all the opportunity to do so. There's no one holding him back or several times more alpha than him where he has to defer to.

A player I've been watching quite a bit this year since preseason is Nicolas Batum this dude is for real..... as is Thaddeus Young and Kahwai Leonard. Who in my estimation are better players than Gallo. I'll give some credit to Derozan too. He has stepped up and appears to be trying to live up to the bill along with Jrue Holiday.

Gallo should be better than most of these guys or at least at the very Top of this crop of talent. Heck on many nights Ryan Anderson/Illyasova/Chandler Parsons are better than him. This shouldn't be the case not a player with Gallo's skillset..... once again Gallo has been protected and coddled throughout his career he has no excuses. He should be doing 1 if not 2 things very well in the NBA every game not every 6 or 7gms.

So when they play the Wolves next on their schedule and he shoots 5-17fg starting out the game 1-8fg or Alexey Shved has a bigger game impact than him..... it makes his Grizzlies performance less.

With all that said Gallo is still 24yrs old and I wouldn't have given up on his talent along with the rest of the assets just yet in the package for Melo

funny you talk about batum. when I said he was a better talent than wilson chandler.. people on realgm were ready to have me banned..... LOL.. go figure..

batum has taken that step and is playing like an allstar, no wonder why the timberwolves tried to steal him.. haha..

I hope chandler gets healthy, way too good to be sitting on the bench..

I like Lin to have a strong year, he's worth his starts on steals alone and plenty of point guards in the league shoot around 40%. I don't think Lin will shot 40% for his career, he's just getting used to being the main guy on offense. I didn't like the D'antoni signing by the Lakers mainly because I wanted to see D'atoni team up with Lin in Houston. That's more of a team for D'antoni, with gritty underachievers.

Harden came correct early but has waned, now the true test comes. I think he can snap out of the funk and become a dominant maximum contract player in the league, but it will take some time. The Rockets will have a run in them later this year, they're a brand new mix of players that will take time to come together.

Lakers vs. Nets in a few...Is it wrong for me to root for the Lakers to win so Knicks get some space in division.

I am going to watch but I hate both teams. No d tonight. I wonder if a team goes over. 110.

Biggest Laker fan tonight FUCK the Nyets!! Its been a while since the Nets faced a worthy opponent.

Nets look awful. Lakers look like they are benefitting from not playing the Princeton.

cant wait to play those nets

Kobe almost ook off Humty's head and act as though it was clean..

kobe waves off MDA substitution..hahahaha..Welcome to LA

Nets announcers said Kobe waived off dantoni when he wanted him to come out with 2 fouls.

Bad rookie getting an early run...

MDA offense working wonders..Kobe option 1, Kobe option 2, Kobe option 3....
