I wrote a piece a few weeks ago sharting on Gallo and whether or not the dude was even needed in the grand scheme of things. He just happened to be injured. Yeah, that's funny because Gallo is coming on like gangbusters while Wilson Chandler is nursing an injury this time. Is it a case of the brother reading blogs like this one and wanting to prove he is not just going through the motions? Is that Carmelo Anthony talk annoying him to the point where he is determined to prove that the Knicks need to hold on to him? Whatever it is my babies...The Rooster is singing!!!(Google Translator Son!!!)
There is a noticable bounce in Gallo's step. He's no longer marching around the court looking like a Frankenstien freak. He's puting the ball on the floor and creating plays. He's been making some serious passes off the dribble, often faking shots to drop it off for his big men. Very Lamar Odom'esque. Very Hedo Turk'esque. His explosiveness going toward the basket has been night and day as well. I can't recall the game, I'm thinking it was Detroit, but he drove the lane and raised up majestically and banged home a dunk that looked like something Lebron, or Josh Smith normally pulls off. I literally almost broke the light on my ceiling from my celebratory jumping jacks. Something is definately different about Danilo Galinari. He's proving he is no chicken *rimshot*.
The argument is still clear though. The Knicks have 2 expendible pieces in Wilson and Gallo. They both can be spectacular and most often they can be a consistant 3rd option that can carry a team for stints a game. Do the Knicks need Carmelo? Will Dallas sweep in and steal him for the remainder of this season? Tired of writing about it, thats why I haven't posted any blogs in some time. The Knicks need reinforcements. They need to plug up the holes. Mozgov came in and showed us what the Knicks could be if they had a guy that could at least give you a double double and be a pulse inside. He had 50/30 or what ever his stats were, but then dropped a duece in the follow up game against Dallas. When do the Knicks get better? The trading deadline is fast approaching, but if Dallas takes Carmelo away or if Denver simply stay true to their douchbaggerocities and doesn't even trade Carmelo...what is the Knicks plan B? Is ther enough time to improve and prepare this roster for a meaningful playoff run? It's not good enough to just show up. Knicks have got to reinforce the rotation to give the Boston's, Miami's, Orlando's and Atlanta's of the east a run for their money.
Shizzle...
