dude you really have to calm down lol
He's right though. Although I'm not sure what being European has anything to do with this.

kidd has a big bump on his head he took a shot
Fairly classy of Lawson to go over and check to see if Kidd was okay.

I have not been posting too much lately but have been viewing all the talk blogs. One thing I can say is that I hope that JR Smith did not start hanging in the clubs again and not getting his rest and focusing on his game. Melo looks out of it and his timing is off. No ball passing.
defense has to tighten up too many easy buckets

JR hits the shot but should have swung the ball to kidd
I don't know why Woody is so damn patient with him!
Maybe its his defense and rebounding which have been good but his offense is un-watchable
If only we could reverse the trade and still have gallo-gorgeous
how many times does Melo say "oh shyt" in a game?

Just wondering - did you see what happened the last time the Knicks played the Nuggets?
You mean game #16 of last season under coach Mike D'Antoni? Guys like Fields seen 46 minutes, Douglas 30 minutes, Jeffries 19 minutes, rookie Harrellson 17 minutes and Bill Walker 11 minutes. What are those guys doing in today's NBA as of right now? Exactly.
Gallo put up 37 points, 11 boards, 2 assists and 1 block. Very good game for Gallo, against a team that lacked overall talent. 18 of those 37 points were from the line. But like I stated, very good game but guess what? You get that type of performance from an up and down Gallo once every 20 nights. His career average of only 14.1 points and 4.6 boards per game doesn't lie. Nothing more than an average player.
Melo on the other hand? Nothing new. (Just drained a three by the way). 25 points, 10 boards, 5 assists and 1 steal while trying to carry a team in which lacked talent to an overtime victory against a much stronger Denver team. Melo and the Knicks came up short.
Congrats to Denver and Gallo for beating us last year, because it's all about winning a championship and moving forward. Lets see how the (hopefully) 10-11 Nuggets do against our (hopefully) 15-5 Knicks tonight. Right now Melo's playing his ass off. Playing his heart out. While Gallo hasn't been a factor of any kind.
Yea, right, the barely .500 Nuggets got the "better end of the deal" due to beating a Mike D'Antoni led Knicks team 16 games into the season, while an overrated Gallo put up a career type of night (about damn time Gallo).
P.S: Melo's starting to take this game over.
