Galloway joins Hardaway in Fisher’s doghouse as Shved steps up. http://tinyurl.com/ngfjexv By Marc BermanMarch 4, 2015 | 12:53pm It’s been no secret Derek Fisher has been hard on Tim Hardaway Jr., but after the Knicks’ largest margin of defeat of the season, on Tuesday night against the Kings, the coach went after Hardaway and pet project Langston Galloway with uncharacteristically pointed remarks. Galloway and Hardaway started in the backcourt and both were dreadful in the disgraceful 124-86 loss. Galloway managed to post the second-worst plus-minus figure of the NBA season – logging a minus-40 in just 23 minutes. Starting at point guard with Jose Calderon out indefinitely, Galloway had one assist and shot 2-of-8. On one fast break, he drove straight into traffic in the lane and coughed up the ball without looking to feed it to a teammate. Hardaway got benched, too, playing 17 minutes and shooting 2-of-7 as Ben McLemore schooled him on both ends. Afterward, Fisher threw a dart that could have been aimed at both Hardaway and Galloway, the rookie out of the D-League who won over Fisher with his selflessness, moxie and clutch shot-making. Galloway hit the biggest shot in the victories over the Pistons and Raptors that preceded this debacle. “It’s easy to be envious and jealous of starters and franchise guys: ‘I wish I can play that much, I wish I can get that many shots,’ ’’ Fisher said. “When you’re in that situation, you find out how tough that really is. ’’ Meanwhile, combo guard Alexey Shved, obtained from th Rockets at the trade deadline in the Pablo Prigioni swap, keeps impressing Fisher. He had 15 points and got to the line nine times. Fisher hinted his role could expand at the expense of Hardaway and Galloway. “Alexey is continuing to find an identity and role within our team and showing us some ability to do some things in terms of handling the ball and making passes and plays,’’ Fisher said. “We have to continue to commit ourselves to helping him feel more and more comfortable every day. We have to rely on him even more because we’re sometimes inconsistent at the guard spots. Some of that is expected with Langston still learning how to bring it every night as a rookie guard, Tim still a second-year player and learning how to do those things. Hopefully we’ ll get Alex more up to speed.’’ Other observations: — Jason Smith, the Knicks ever-improving big man, somehow finished a plus-3 in 21 minutes in the 38-point rout. He scored 13 points. Smith is coming off the bench as Fisher has used the starting tandem of Lou Amundson and Andrea Bargnani the past three games. But Smith has been their most consistent big for some time. The Knicks have no power forward or center under contract for next season. Smith is making a play after signing a one-year deal for the mini mid-level exception ($3.2 million). He’s been solid since January, and Knicks president Phil Jackson would like to have him back for the right price. — Point guard Shane Larkin continues to impress as well since returning from strep throat. He had a 13-point, six-assist evening and drew praise from Fisher. The 2013 first-rounder has picked up a lot of seasoning during this messy campaign. Some other franchise may reap the benefits after Jackson didn ’t exercise Larkin’s $2 million option for next season. 大意→ Galloway 近期較差的表現，讓他也加入了被老漁拉陣的行列， 原本老漁只對小哈很嚴格，不時的指出他的缺點，對他要求很高， 現在連 Galloway 也加入了被釘的行列。 這時候新加入的 Shved 跳出來了，這位能打 PG + SG 的後衛， 擁有不錯的傳球視野和投射能力，老漁對他讚譽有佳。 老漁表示，自從卡德隆因傷要休 2 週後，我們後衛更顯得辛苦， 但這 2 個年輕人(指 Galloway 和小哈)， 一個太嫰不知道怎麼保持身手，常常前一場手感很好，下一場就冷掉， 另外一個才二年級，也是很不穩定，真的令人很頭痛。 還好有 Shved 能夠適時的分擔一些責任，我很期待他更多的表現。 - 其他觀察： Jason Smith: 大個的近期很坦尼克禁區， 預期禪師會用對尼克有利的合約，下季再把他簽回來. Shane Larkin: 雖然禪師最終選擇不執行他明年度的合約， 但以他近期的表現，應該會有很球隊對他有興趣。 --
