Yeah. He's more or less why I watch games now. But it's good they are being cautious with him.

I agree with both of your statements. It's just like me being all giddy to watch Chandler at the end of last year and beginning of this year. Speaking of Chandler, let's see if he kinda breaks out of his "rookie wall" with Gallo gone.

Great, just great. For some reason he's the spark this team needs to get started.

I just hope they keep in at least in striking distance tonight.

I hope its just being cautious and nothing more.

Caro Mike D'Antoni SEI IMPAZZITO? STAI SCHERZANDO? Stanotte Phil-NYK è trasmessa in diretta in Italia e tu non fai giocare il Gallo? Spero che questo è tutto uno scherzo. Grazie.

Dear Mike D'Antoni ARE YOU CRAZY? ARE YOU KIDDING? Tonight Phil-NYK broadcasting Live in Italy and you don't play Gallo? I hope this is just a joke. Thanks.

Sorry, but we could care less whether or not a small country gets to see their prodigal son play in a game. We have more important things to worry about, such as not ruining his career.

BJ is very, very, too much young. He is as fast as a bullet, but too often he lose control of the game. Tournover’s machine. He is a SG with the body of a PG. It is not ready to lead a team. Brandon needs to develop a good shot.
Rigth now, Rubio is a better player, but I guess that in few years BJ will be a incredible player, above all for his velocity. I love him and Roma's fans want more minutes for Jennings. Coach want win, ok, but BJ needs minutes for to improve his game.

(sorry for my english)

We didn't beat Philly last time WITH him....so I don't know. I get what you are saying though.

I'd still rather have the doctors err on the side of caution though rather than be too reckless like last time.

aristippus, it's all good man. i'm suprised to hear that he's alittle out of control. hmm. would you describe him as a shoot first pg, pass first pg, chucker, etc? sorry for the questions, just trying to see whats up with him from a fan over there.
