I don't understand how someone who got ripped apart in the playoffs and has been in this league for so long continues to not work on his offensive game. You see bigs like Hibbert, McGee, even Noah work on thier offensive skills to the point where they at least effective. Unfortunately, too many times we are playing 3 against 5 on offense. Now my gripe is you see Amare and Melo working out with Hakeem, something many players including Lebron has done to improve their low post moves. So back to my question.....What the hell is Tyson doing?
Probably in bed with the flu.
we better hope by some miracle brand and martin sign with us for cheap
He tweeted something about his art being on a bravo show the other night and to watch it. Knicks don't need a renaissance man playing center, they need a guy that grab a rebound, play some d and keep his comments in the locker room.
Our coach doesn't demand that he work on his offensive game. If in fact Tyson did work on his offensive game and started playing well on offense Woody would probably bench him. Tyson has been in the league long enough to understand this.

So Woodson benches Tyson if he plays well and Tyson has been in the league long enough to understand this?

I saw the end of it CHef Roble'. It was a birthday party or something.
Tyson has a ring and a DPOY, guess that's enough for him.
I'll just be happy if he can get somewhere close to where he was in his DPOY year.
Tyson is practicing tap outs!

Why? Is Melo sitting on him?

He tapped out against Hibbert.

Ahhhh.
Tyson not doing anything or he just not tweeting his life for us to comment on?

According to his reps, Tyson Chandler will not be working with Hakeem Olajuwon this summer. Only Melo and Amar'e as planned for now.
Read an article about Tyson some time ago that when he stopped being other things and focused on his strengths his game got better, he was more productive and happier.
A healthy tyson with that ever so rare 10 footer is a good thing.

Typhoid Chandler.
Some of you guys are too brutal. I am very happy we have Tyson. For years most people on this site pined for a defensive center. We got Tyson Chandler who had just won a ring with the Dallas Mavericks. He then wins defensive player of the year 2012; then this past year, 2012-13 he makes 1st team all defense and the All-Star team. And we won 54 games. And you all aren't satisfied???
We should keep Chandler. No trades. He played hurt at the end of the year. Other Knicks also played like crap in the playoffs. Get over it and move on.

I think it's fair to expect Tyson to develop an all around game. The impact he has on the defensive end on our team is irrefutable....but right now we need him to develop an offensive skill set to at least counter somewhat the production by the opposing team was at his position. Maybe if he had a few reliable post moves such that he is an actual threat to score maybe we'd get a few more open looks for our perimeter guys. To have any hope of making it to the ECF we need our center to be able to make a few plays in the paint....especially when we go cold like we did in th last playoff series. And it's fair to question why our starting center isn't working on improving his weaknesses. He and Bargnani should be out there with Melo and Amare. Now if you could fuse Amare and Tyson's skill sets...that would be ideal but we can't and Tyson is the only one who has been able to stay relatively healthy so it's up to him to take the initiative.
Bottom line is that he has a $55million dollar contract. He played well in the regular season but twice now in th playoffs he wasnt able to stay healthy and when he was healthy he was unable to make an impact. Tyson's getting the third highest paycheck on our roster and its because of the credentials he has earned that we expect more of him. Melo doesn't ever get a pass, why should Tyson. Also, he needs to voice his concerns to the locker room, not the media. I don't ever want to put up with poisonous media circus we faced in the Larry Brown days....the media make up enough drama as it is.

The motion is seconded. Chandler's first name shall henceforth be Typhoid!
