He is part of the problem. We dont need him to be a offensive juggernaut but a hook shot or some semblance of a post game would help out alot. He wouldnt clog up the paint and his man wouldnt constantly cheat off of him.

This is why Marc Gasol is superior to Tyson. He is a well rounded center who can defend, rebound, shoot, AND post.

From page 96 of My Life by John Starks with Dan Markowitz:

The very first day of practice, Coach Riley preached defense. "Offense is going to be up and down," he said, "but defensive intensity has to stay consistently high. Defense keeps you in games." He figured we weren't an explosive offensive team -- which we weren't -- so he built the team around defense.

I have a feeling Riley would have liked having Chandler on this team.

But tyson is our defensive anchor...notice when he went to the bench in foul trouble in our last two losses we struggled big time. problem I have with him is that his fouls are ridiculous..and the techs are adding up..this is a big problem..we have loss all of our games when he's in foul trouble early...nobody is making a big deal about it's.but his impact is a huge loss.besides that's him not link are our best pnr duo..

I just started another thread on this..I didn't see this..

Really?

With everything Tyson Chandler has brought in leadership, defensive INTENSITY, rugged/ unselfish play in the tradition of Charles Oakley and the fact he plays despite pain - the best you can do is whine about his tech's as "Part of the Problem"?

Tyson is part of the solution, not part of the problem. He plays with passion. Nothing wrong with that. Does he get into foul trouble? Sure, but I blame the refs for that, not Tyson. Some of the calls are ridiculous.

Dont agree. tyson is a good fit. If we had lin all season we woould probably be in the 6th or 5th seed right now. also we have had injuries. We dont need a offensive center tyson fits lin well

I don't have a problem with someone pointing this out. It's absolutely correct that when Tyson is in foul trouble we play a lot worse. He has to get it under control for the benefit of the team.

I have a problem with your criticizing Lin for "turning it over so much." When Melo is double teamed, its not hard for him to pass the ball to an open player. But Lin is being guarded by whoever is the best defensive guy on the team. Then opponents are also packing the lane, to try to make the Knicks beat them from the outside. Plus, at every game, the opponent is coming up with a new defense plan to somehow limit Lin's effectiveness. Every night he has to make new adjustments. Finally, his team mates are not accustomed to his passes, and either they are not ready for some of his passes, or they leave the area when he expects them to stay put.

To suggest that it is good advice that Lin lessens the number of turnovers, is destructive advice imo. In order to do his job properly Lin needs to take chances by getting into the lane where the chances of turnovers are higher. He also has to continue making passes to team mates who don't necessary expect his passes. The worst thing he could do is to stay out of the lane and stop throwing difficult passes, so that he can cut down on turnovers. Lin has to continue to take chances. Look at what has happened during the time when his turnovers were higher than average. The team has been winning. Will his turnovers go down as he gets to know his team mates better? Absolutely. Is it worthwhile that he stop taking chances on risky passes so he can cut down on his turnovers? I think that is bad advice. To increase the number of assists he gets, he has to make more passes, even if it increases the likelihood that he will have higher than average point guard turn overs.

Wow. Great post. Great insight. Love the part about it possibly having a negative effect if he tries to play afraid of turning the ball over.

I woudn't, however, classify Tyson as "part of the problem". Our problem, as it seemingly has been for a season and a half now, is getting everyone to gel offensively.

I'm glad someone is looking at the big picture, he has been huge for this team..but every time he gets in foul trouble, he hurts the team..He is the man in the middle, the sides and the front..

we were up 13-3, by the time he came back in the game, the score was even or the lead was one, he picks up another quick foul, and were down 9 at the half..

I'm loving TYSON all day, but he's been foul prone this season and pretty much his whole career..don't kid youself..

Remember how bad ALLAN HOUSTON was when it came to defense, but with so many defensive players around him, we still was a top notch defensive unit..We don't have that many defensive guys on this team in the starting unit...5 more techs he gets suspended a game..every game matters down the stretch more this year then any. our schedule is anyhting but a cake walk over the next 2 months.

Tyson Chandler might be the best free-agent signing the Knicks have made in 10 years. Have we all forgotten about last year's layup lines already?! He may not have a post-up game but how many possessions does he keep alive through tap backs? Seriously, with our offense as bogged down as it has been, take away Tyson and his impact on the defensive end and we're neck and neck with the Bobcats.

Also, the guy got a tech from the bench. Yes please.

Yup. TC makes us infinitely better, anyone who thinks he is a part of the problem has lost it. But he des need to stop respondin g to bad calls and non calls from the refs. It doesn't help him to do that. He is a smart player he will work it out.

TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!

There's a difference from being the problem and being part of the problem, and thats where I'm going with this..PPL like to over look things when the positives are so glaring, and the negatives are minor, LIN's TO's and TYSONS fouls will come back to huant us, if this is not checked at the door..

I'll give lin a little rope, cause he's young and is learning on the job...but tysons over the back fouls and techs are becoming an issue..I looked at the games he was in foul trouble..we lost most of them if not all, the techs coming when were battling back from a duoble digit deficit( kills momentum)..you dont think thats a concern..

Depends on how you look at it. W/O Tyson there would BE no momentum to kill. It's generally Tyson, Jeffries and Shumpert's combined defense that is creating sparks that ignite runs by our team. Yes they make bonehead plays but part of the problem? NAW! That's going too far.

Ten Problems MUCH Bigger Than Tyson Chandler

10. Baron Davis's hideous kicks (ie a healthy back up point guard who can play four games in six nights)

9. Shump's knees, that have not been right since opening day

8. 78 year old Mike Bibby.

7. Keeping JR Smith focused on team basketball and finding him a new barber

6. Jared Jeffries layup technique

5. Rebounding. On both ends.

4. Having a general manager without "interim" in his title

3. What to do with Toney Douglas. Sit him and kill his confidence. Or play him and watch in agony?

2. Jeremy Lin being worn down by the collective media to the point all the fun is drained out of Linsanity

1. The ghost of Amar'e Stoudemire's microfracture surgery

yeah we cut a 18 pt deficit to 8pts with 6:30 to play, chandler picks up a tech, the lead goes back to 14..how can you sustain a run..

How can you play hard and not smart..they go hand and hand..

Yeah your right..but i never said TYSON is the problem, and I never said TYSON fouls was a major problem, i said it's part of the problem and we have loss game becuase of it..

Bibby is a non factor

shrumps knees maybe sore, but he's still all defensive team in my book.

amare keeps on saying he's feeling better then he has in a long time..go figure, it sure doesn't look like it

as long as the GM's name is not IT,he's destine to get that title remove

TD is done, he'll probably get one more shot

Lins smart and young, with so many options on the offensive end, getting burned out isn't reaaly a factor like duhon..

Amar'e will never admit to hurting on the outside or inside. Too much pride and he feels too responsible to live up to his role as a team leader. He faces a crossroads.

Did you say Duhon? When did Chris Duhon ever need to deal with the media requests, advertising offers, fan pandemonium, media hype/ scrutiny and international attention that Lin faces?

Don't think of it as "disagreeing". Think of it as fine-tuning. Think of it as a conversation.

Think of it as thinking different.
