To say that gallinari's one on one defense sucks is stupid. I could get a handful of quotes from people saying that he made it hard to score. I know wade praised his defense when we played them towards the end of the season.

yall gotta admit though, that book quote was on point
just watched the beginning of the Gallo vid above, didnt watch the whole thing, but peep the ref on that play :35 seconds into the vid after gallo dunks it...
EDIT: %+@* Dub changed the video, if you can post the link of the vid before the edit, watch the play :35 seconds into it, absolutely hillarious

Gallo's defense at the begging of the season was really atrocious though. it got a lot better over time, you could see that he's been practicing. i remember a few instances where he saved us from losing a game or two with a block.
but seriously man, stop. i dont even bother reading them anymore. even just trying to scroll down the page hurts my eyes

word weow maybe i was wilding on yi and cdr.
but lee played great defense on lebron during the playoffs and they advanced to the finals that year.
but idk i understand your opinion.. and it makes me question mines but im still not sold.
i'd still take harris, lee & lopez over chandler, gallinari and lee (just adding lee if we sign him) just cause finding a legit center is crazy hard right now.
but i def see what youre saying about putting gallinari in with like lebron . . !*$# would be crazy . . and gallinari would def. be putting in work as a shooter . . similiar to allen and the celtics where he knocked down a bunch of big treys
however since we can sign two players! if bosh and lbj talk before hand and do some crazy sneaky !*$# and sign with the knicks thats a different story.
and gr8 you my dude you already know.
oh yeah and whats funny is that chandler is a better player than gallinari yet everything chandler does gets overlooked while every little single thing gallo does gets recognized. i feel like i said this before lol
EDIT: and those gallo defensive clips dont really mean much.
i bet i can make a five min clip of defensive plays from renaldo balkman. and even wilson . .

i think a lot of that has to do with chandlers personality
i'm glad i was wrong about gallo. i was bugging when we got a euro as messed up as that sounds. i was nervous after fredrick weiss. plus the whole soft tag that euro players get. but gallo is faaar from soft. he has serious heart.

[/h1][h1]i didn't relize that lebrons loyalty to Akron meant so much for the Cleveland cavs. seeing as you know they don't play in Akron

AKRON, Ohio -- It will officially go down as a Most Valuable Playeraward ceremony. But in truth, it was a love-in, a community gathering,a chance for Akron to salute its favorite son and for its favorite sonto big up his hometown.
Thousands of fans, scores of them wearing LeBron Jamesjerseys, chanted "M-V-P! M-V-P!'' every chance they got. Hundreds offriends, family members and sponsors turned out to show their supportfor the world's greatest basketball player. And the superstar himselfspoke of Akron as if it were some sort of utopia, declaring hiscommitment to the place nearly half a dozen times.
"I love Akronto death,'' James said. "Since I was a little kid, I always said I wasgoing to find a way to put this city on the map. And I'm going tocontinue to do that.''
As James spoke after receiving his secondstraight MVP award Sunday at the University of Akron, you couldn't helpbut think to yourself: He ain't leaving.
Of course, James didn'tgo that far. He kept his wiggle room as the greatest prize in thegreatest free-agent class in NBA history by saying, "No matter whatmight be ahead for me, this will always be my home.''
But everything else about the afternoon said he's staying with the Cleveland Cavaliers.After all, the overriding theme of the event was loyalty -- to his mom,to his family, to his high school teammates, to his city and to histeam. Now in his seventh year with the Cavs, James even invited histeammates onto the stage, where they mugged and posed for pictureswhile sharing inside jokes.
"I don't have any special insightinto this,'' said Keith Dambrot, James' first high school coach and nowthe head coach at Akron. "But if I had to, I'd bet my house that hestays. Why else would you do things like this?''
Things like open up your MVP presentation to the public, for free.
Historically,these ceremonies have been small, fairly mundane affairs. Held in ahotel ballroom or maybe a team's practice facility, they typicallyinvolved the player, the media and some team employees. Kind ofimpersonal, kind of routine, they were never as majestic as theyappeared on TV.
But LeBron has turned them into a celebration, a party.
Lastyear, the students at James' alma mater, St. Vincent-St. Mary HighSchool, along with family and friends, jammed into the tiny gymnasiumwhere James became famous, honoring him in a way reminiscent of araucous school assembly.
This year, he went one better, holdingthe event at much larger Rhodes Arena, where he played most of his homegames as a high school junior and senior to accommodate the growingcrowds and media.
James, who will be honored officially as MVP by NBA commissioner David Stern before Monday's Game 2 against the Boston Celtics, had a simple answer for why he made it a community event:
"Because I'm just a little kid from Akron.''
IfJames' desire is indeed to stay with the Cavs (even he might not knowfor sure), the one thing that could throw a monkey wrench into his planis a Cavaliers bust in these playoffs. He has always insisted thatwinning ultimately will determine his destination, so if he bringsCleveland its first major league sports title since 1964, one wouldthink he would re-sign and seek to build a dynasty.
But what if the Cavs, who lead Boston 1-0, bow out early, falling to the Celtics in the second round or to the Orlando Magic again in the conference finals? Would that increase his chances of leaving?
Remember,in leaving Cleveland, James, who has said he wants to become abillionaire, would have to leave roughly $30 million on the table.Visions any fan has of a sign-and-trade to Dallas or wherever are morelike delusions because the Cavs aren't likely to aid James in adeparture.
That leaves only the following teams with the salary-cap space to sign a player to a max contract: the New York Knicks, the New Jersey Nets, the Chicago Bulls, the Miami Heat, the Washington Wizards and the Los Angeles Clippers. Of those, the Bulls are probably the Cavs' biggest threat, with their young nucleus of Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah.
NewYork? Forget the urban legend that Nike will pay James more money toplay in the Big Apple. His signature is already on his new Nike deal,and several sources tell me there's no clause in it that states he'llget paid more for playing with the Knicks.
The notion that Jamesneeds to relocate to a bigger market is also faulty. He's already theclear-cut face of the NBA, with plenty of endorsement contracts, eventhough he's playing in Cleveland and hasn't won a ring. In this global,Internet age, the size of the local market is virtually irrelevant. Andif his social needs need satisfying, James can hop in a private jet andfly anywhere he wants to at a moment's notice, so why not stay in hishotel-sized crib on the outskirts of Akron?
James, who wasn'twooed and recruited by colleges because everyone knew he was NBA-bound,probably will visit several teams come July. Big on drama, he might letthe suspense build to a crescendo. But in the end, Cavs fans should letthese words from James comfort them.
"The city of Akron means so much to me,'' he said. "Akron, Ohio, is my life. I love this city.''
Cavsowner Dan Gilbert, who sat on stage with James, is convinced, or at thevery least, feigning conviction, saying, "I'm sure we'll be here nextyear with MV3.''
There was no reason Sunday to believe that won't be the case.
