I think AA will come in for Gallo

All he has to do is play the passing lanes cuz Knicks don't really fake and drive.
If Jose not hitting shots, he doesn't impact the game.
If Rolo isn't guarding the rim, and players are scoring on him, plus if he doesn't rebound, he doesn't impact the game.
When those two things happen, we usually lose games if Fisher continues to play them, while we have energy and athletes on the bench......Seraphin to me is better than Rolo. If Seraphin got paid like Rolo, he would be the starter. Seems like Rolo is starting because Phil knows best. I'm ok with that. But at the same time, you have to be able to pull him early, if matchups aren't in our favor.
This will be a good test for this team.....Up 20 and now it's single digits.

Every time a unit isn't playing well you guys pick something to complain about with who Fish has out there. These guys all can play just fine together and you can't keep blaming Fish every time whatever unit is on the floor isn't playing good.
Of course they can all play but small is working for you and the pace was too high for koq
Small didn't work at all for the 2nd half of the 3rd quarter now did it. It's not always about the lineups. Sometimes it's just that the other team you're playing is adjusting to what you're doing.
This. guys here don't seem to understand that sometimes.
I don't think some people try to understand it. They just find something to complain about every time whatever lineup that's out there isn't playing well.
that's two not great drives in a row by melo.

You've been waiting all night to find something to complain about but it's still funny how you can try to blame Fisher for these guys playing horrible on both sides of the court in that 3rd quarter and Fish has nothing at all to do with that.
Fish motivates the team during half time speechs...
Fish decided to bring back the same slow starting lineup....
Fish did not pull Rolo when it was obvious that he couldn't guard Towns on those 3 pt shots....
D.Fisher must just have a horrible basketball mind then right?? Come on now. I'm sure he has his reasons for having the lineups he chooses out there and not one single person on a message board knows what those reasons are.
Fisher is just coaching like Phil did in LA. Whenever teams went on runs, Phil left his players in the handle it themselves. I always thought that was wrong, but it was a great way to let the team learn how to play through it. I just don't think that strategy should be in place for a team learning how to gel together.
D.Fisher is a very very smart man. He knows basketball like nobody on here could ever even think about knowing basketball but i think sometimes we forget that this team isn't a great team and they still have a ton of learning to do with playing with each other.
You are correct, but so do pretty much all coaches...It doesn't make them invulnerable to bad decision making.
karl anthony towns coming up big.

I agree 100% with the Towns point. he could have just switched KP and Rolo's defensive assignment and it would have been a non issue.
So you would of rather had Rolo guarding the much faster Dieng then right?? Come on now. Rolo has to guard the biggest guy on the court cause he can't guard the faster guys.
Something tells me it would be easier for Rolo to guard someone taking mid range shots rather than a player taking 3pt shots.
Something tells my you're wrong.
The TWolves are 6-5 on the road so they aren't pushovers.

I agree - he has the hot hand.
Or Melo should be passing out to Gallo or KP for wide open 3s to get that 10th assist!
SocraticBallin22 wrote:Melo 1 assist away from Triple Double! Let's do this!
I'm more worried about getting the win then Melo getting his triple double.
Towns seems to be relishing taking it to KP the last few possessions. He seems to have a little chip on his shoulder that people might think KP is better than him. KAT has had the better game tonight for sure.
Play Carmelo at the point
What a block. Galloway unbelievable.
Rolo, to his credit, has had two big blocks in the last 3 minutes of this game.
