    Maybe James just isn't that Alpha Kobe type player. He does so much other stuff well, i'd rather he play an all around game with D, like a mini version of Lebron.

    Garcia was guarding Iggy the whole night. We couldn't guard anybody actually.

    It's okay. We are really 6th-7th best in the Western conference right now. We ain't cracking the top tier this year.

    James was successful in getting to the line in the 1st qtr. He must have tired because he stopped driving into the lane. Smart.

    Rox are not going to beat the Nuggs, they got better when Gallo went out, Chandler is a better player.

    yep...

    they dont have a "superstar" but they basically have extremely high motor guys combined with their home games wherein they are more acclimated in..

    we were out of gas, and it didnt help we had a run and gun style of play

    tonight he was but that is a r****ded statement. Gallinari has been great for them all season. If Chandler could maintain that sort of play as a starter he would be an all star.

    r****ded, lol, ok.

    Gallo is putrid on defense, Chandler is not...

    It is simply a matter of Chandler being a better player overall.

    Well, from my r****ded point of view.

    Just be happy that we will be in the playoff, our next goal should be to win some games during the playoff.

    Normal internet vernacular for illogical statements but I can see you took offense to that so I apologize. The latter is true, he is better on D, but on a nightly basis Gallo's offense >>>>>> Chandler's edge on Defense. Take a look at each player's frame, Galo is a BIG guy with a lot of length difficult to defend when his shot is on. Everybody called the knicks out when they drafted him but that was their reasoning. Chandler has always been a good player he is getting a lot of recognition now but he can be shut down a lot easier.

    I am not offended, you can believe what you want, I believe Gallo and Chandler are pretty close in impact to that team and that overall Chandler is the better player.

    Tonight? Absolutely.


    Translating that to every night? I doubt it. That is my reasoning.

    I think Gallo's loss will be a positive impact to that team overall, as I think Chandler is the better player overall, when considering offense and defense.

    Even if I am wrong, Gallo's loss will not be that bad as Chandler is a really good replacement for him.

    Yea how about that Gallo..


    I know that the series is far from over but in terms of the other guys I mentioned were going to come down to earth and you said would be more of a positive than Gallo...how's that working out? :p

    Question is: Could we have beat the Nuggets or Spurs if we were the 6th or 7th seed instead of 8th.

    My guess is probably not. The team is too young and badly coached.

    We wouldn't win. The warriors are better shooters and actually hitting their 3's.

    We are not.

    Maybe we take 1 more game tho instead of getting swept and/or winning 1 game.
