Strongly disagree. His post defense has been abysmal.

He has been absolute trash this season. I think he is upset he isn't getting the bad. He plays with no desire.

He is frustrated because he isn't getting that many touches.

I don't think so. Last year he was taking 5.7 shots in 33 mpg; this year he's taking 5.8 shots in 28 mpg; and for his career he takes 5.5 shots in 28 mpg. More likely, he's worn down from the condensed schedule last season and playing in the Olympics over the Summer.

Chandler actually stopped momentarily to argue with the ref about a jump ball with the team down double digits. Tyson plays like someone who would rather be somewhere else. He put more emotion into that elbow of Asik than pretty much the entire game up to that point.

Unless he's hurt I get the feeling that Chandler is burnt out from the accelerated schedule last year and the Olympics. Melo was there too but it doesn't mean they are going to react the same way.

Tyson barely played during the olympics and for good reason

Badabigno!

brewer has been bad lately. he started off great but he is getting burned lately. We really need shump back healthy if we are going to make noise in the playoffs. Felton as much as i like him is getting beat too much by quick guards

Brewer has never been that good of a player. When he was a Bulls player Knick Fans thought he was a scrub. We got him cheap but he's borderline trash

He's no trash he's just a role player. If he's coming off the bench to play 20 mpg that's pretty good. If you're relying on him for more than that then you're in trouble.
