Tyson Chandler is having nightmares of being chased by Roy Hibbert. But he stays the starter because he will work harder.

If Grunwald can sign Haddadi dadi and The Knighted Beno of Uhrih, we loyal Knicks followers indeed in for a treat.

Iran 76, Korea 65 -- The Hamed Haddadi domination continued to roll through the Mall of Asia Arena on Friday morning as Iran picked up another victory in the while clinching a spot in the second round of the tournament. The NBA free agent big scored 30 points and grabbed 13 rebounds while fouling just twice in 30 minutes of playing time to match the tournament's best scoring performance thus far.

Haddadi's teammate, Samad Nikkhah Bahrami, added 23 points and seven rebounds as Iran's only other double-digit scorer. Mohammad Jamshidijafarabadi had just three points and two fouls in 12 minutes.

Korea picked up a huge win over China in their first game of the tournament, but lightning didn't strike twice for the world's 33rd-ranked team. That's in part due to their 6-of-22 shooting performance from beyond the arc and the fact that they were outrebounded by 10, but also because they had no answer for Haddadi's post presence -- despite limiting Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhelin the day before.

Is everything about how Mike Woodson uses his roster improperly?

How many Knicks coaches have improperly coached their way to 54 wins over the past two decades?

If Grunwald can sign Haddadi and Uhrih, he is a magician.

I've been one of Chandler's bigger critics on this board recently but to be fair, he is great at the pick and roll for dunks and it is ultra-high %. My question is why they don't look for it more. I wonder what the average is of how many times Chandler executes this play per game -- what would you say, 2-3 times a game on average, if that? What's the deal with this? Why not look for this play 10X a game minimum? Is it a question of Chandler getting complacent, fading in and out of games, not making himself available for these plays at the rim more? Or is it more that defenses over compensate and adjust to it quickly, looking to take that play away? Or does it have to do with other players taking too many shots (Melo, JR Smith)? Remember Chandler did make a comment during the Pacer series hinting that he should get the ball more....What would you guys say is the key reason(s) we don't milk this high % play more with Chandler? I always thought that if we involved Chandler more in the offense, he'd play better/harder overall.

Good Post, it was always I something struggled to understand as well
Lin utilized Tyson Chandler very much to open up other things for other players and it also increased Chandler's overall production in other area's as he felt involved in the game, raising his defensive abilities, rebounds, and focus in the game

They do look for it more than 10 times a game and it has opened up other things but if you look at Chandler numbers in the playoffs when teams have time to game plan for him his touches goes down regardless what team he played on. Also, the little nuances of getting a little more space by rolling wider than he usually does is not there. Despite all that the coach has to help the play out. In the Boston series the key should have been to start the PnR out higher, about 2 ft above the 3pt line because of the way Boston played the PnR. That's coaching.

Sidenote: I re-posted numbers on other bigs around the league and most of them had similar or better numbers than Tyson at the rim. Tyson is good but when his defense is not there his value drops tremendously.

Noah/Boozer, Taj Gibson but at least they don't have the European over *Nikola Mirotic* coming over in addition to Derrick Rose coming back
Hibbert/West/Scola in addition to Paul George *and all of his all round skill's, versatility, and size /Granger *if healthy*
Lopez/KG/Blatche/Plumlee
Bynum/Varejo and Tristan Thompson/Tyler Zeller in addition to Irving and Anthony Bennet
Oden/Bosh/Birdman in addition to Lebron's and Wade's abilities

Drummond / Monroe/ Josh Smith, with Drummonds likely having huge season with his development/potential, with a rare combination of size/athleticism/mobility/strength/length
Vucevic/ Glen Davis and all of their young/athletic F's Tobias Harris/Harkless/Andrew Nicholson and G/F's in Victor Oladipo, Aaron Affalo, and Nelson
Jonas Valanciunas/ Amir Johnson in addition to Rudy Gay/ DeMar DeRozan/ and if Kyle Lowry returns back healthy
Ok4, Nene *if healthy*, and the penetration/abilities of John Wall

Jefferson/ Zeller, Josh McRoberts in addition to the development and penetration of Kemba Walker

Al Horford/ Lucas Nuigirra *a young Camby*, Millsap,

I still feel sorry for Horford having to play the 4 down in ATL. He would be a dominant 4 in this league with his all around game. I could see frustration leading him to wanting/forcing a trade next off-season.
