![]() http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/knicks/post/_/id/11335/jeffries-and-chandler-coming-together-on-d Jeffries and Chandler have established a respectable partnership down low, and it's started with communication. Both guys credit approaching each other during timeouts and on the court discussing defensive schemes, and calling out switches and player movements on the court. "We've built a lot of camaraderie, man," Jeffries said. "Tyson does a great job of talking and it's easy for me to go out there and play with a guy like him, and play at that level. It's fun right now. We're all having fun and we're just riding the wave of what Jeremy and Tyson are doing for us." "I love having Jared on my side," Chandler said. "His communication, coming in and out of timeouts, telling me what he's seeing out there. I know he's somebody that I can rely on. Also, I don't have to help as much. When I can key in, like tonight, on Bynum and that's it, I'm going to shut people down. When I get in trouble is when I have to help other people a lot, and I come over and my guy already has the ball in scoring position." ... "We have a guard now that's getting out on the break and making quick decisions," Chandler said. "Our problem before is we were getting stops, but then we were walking the ball up, playing at a slow pace. We didn't have the personnel to do that. We don't have anybody who's just going to just drop the ball in the post to and demand double teams, and all that kind of stuff. I'm not that type of player. We've got to get out. When we get stops, we've got to run, get into pick-and-rolls, slash, find open guys and knock down shots." |
