[KyleKong]

Chandler has won a ring, he knows how to win more. Melo needs to listen to the big beard.

[BlackVVaves]

Melo only took 16 shots last game though :confusedshrug:

Chandler is right about the ball movement, but he needs to focus on not getting sonned by Hibbert every single night.

[Clutch]

Tyson Chandler: 7 points,4 rebounds,1.7 blocks

Roy Hibbert: 14.7 points,10.7 rebounds,3 blocks

STFU TYSON. YOU'RE THE MAIN REASON WE'RE DOWN 2-1. START REBOUNDING AND DEFENDING OR GO BACK TO DALLAS.

[3LiftHeatCurse]

When do you think Pau Gasol calls out Kobe? :roll:

Pau already has called out Kobe a bunch of times through the years

[K Xerxes]

I agree with his sentiment, but he'd look better if he wasn't getting completely outplayed by his matchup. There would be more credibility if Shumpert said it.

[NumberSix]

Tyson Chandler: 7 points,4 rebounds,1.7 blocks

Roy Hibbert: 14.7 points,10.7 rebounds,3 blocks

STFU TYSON. YOU'RE THE MAIN REASON WE'RE DOWN 2-1. START REBOUNDING AND DEFENDING OR GO BACK TO DALLAS.
Knicks fans man. :facepalm

[ClutchOver9000]

:rolleyes: The comments would actually hold some clout if it came from someone who was actually producing.

Chandler himself has been a steaming sack of shit all postseason. He should figure out how to grab some rebounds, and how to prevent the almighty Roy Hibbert from abusing him next game...

[buddha]

future negged for making shit up and failing to provide a source.

[stephanieg]

Too bad Chandler is playing like a scrub though.

[Sarcastic]

Tyson Chandler got absolutely destroyed by Roy Hibbert, meanwhile Melo took 16 shots last game. He should worry about locking down his man, and grabbing some rebounds before opening his mouth.



Hopefully this is the opening for him to be traded this offseason.

[lpublic_enemyl]

shots fired :roll: seriously tho dude pass the ball once and a while.

[lpublic_enemyl]

Carmelo needs to work on helping his teammates get open shots so the defense doesn't focus on him so much. His assists in the first three games against the pacers are 1,3,1 respectively. Work the ball around and get some open shots.

[Dro]

Props to Chandler for not being afraid to tell the truth about Melo unlike the rest of his teammates and most of his fans..

Carmelo Anthony says he plans to come out more "aggressive" in Game 4. He calls it a "gut-check" game for the #Knicks



Carmelo to Tyson: F.U.

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

[IncarceratedBob]

Damn!

Tyson was the 7th option on a championship team and how he thinks he's something.

Tyson has been shit on defense all year, no rebounding, awful player and he's talking about the guy who put the Knicks on his back and got them the 2 seed.

Laughable.

[ClutchOver9000]

Next game, Melo should just pass to Tyson in the paint/low block on every single possession. See how it goes... :lol

Knicks lose by 20:roll:

[Mr. I'm So Rad]

Their game plan revolves around Melo shooting the ball a lot though. They rely on the high screen and roll with Felton and Chandler to get open 3's as well as teams doubling Melo in the post. That's why the Knicks go small a lot.

Melo's amount of shot attempts isn't really the problem. It's just the kinds of shots he gets. It's not like Melo is a selfish player. He'll pass the ball when the pass is there. It's just that Indiana will allow him to go one on one because they aren't afraid of one guy beating them. They'll let him get his. The Knicks are most dangerous when they get hot and start splashing 3's. Allowing Melo to isolate and take everyone else out of rhythm quells that threat. Just gotta give credit to Indiana. They're an elite defensive unit.

[Blue&Orange]

Are we certain he was aiming Melo? I'm thinking in the lines of JR. I know it pains many people but Melo is a great individual player, Jr is not... and this comes after a game where Melo shot only 16 times, while JR shot 12 times, despite playing with the flu and only 20 minutes.

But hey off-course the idiots gonna say it's about Melo.


Suddenly the 3 point machine that was the Knicks disappeared, Knicks are shooting 3x less 3's, nobody wants to shoot the ball, if anything Melo should be taking all of Jr's shots, pretty sure Knicks would be a better team.

[uber]

Tyson should also stick to the gameplan and do his part by rebounding and defending. Sadly he hasn't done that in the last few games.

I don't see why he says something like that to the media. The team is down 1-2 and the last thing they need is some kinda internal dispute.

[iDunk]

Duh this article is trying to make it look like Chandler said that about Melo when really he said it to the team as a whole.

Chandler shouldn't even be speaking though the main reason we're down 2-1 right now is because of him & his inability to guard Hibbert.

Pretty sure when Melo was doing that in the Celtics series, taking 25 shots and up, he was shooting 30% from the field.

Pretty sure :hammerhead:

before his shoulder injury:

36 points on 13\29
34 points on 11\24
26 points on 12\25

last two games after the 3 day rest = 19\42.


But yeah Jr insisting in taking the dumbest shots while shooting 21% isn't the issue here.

[Mr. I'm So Rad]

Pretty sure when Melo was doing that in the Celtics series, taking 25 shots and up, he was shooting 30% from the field.

Pretty sure :hammerhead:

Yeah he just has to keep attacking from the high and mid post area. If Melo gets the ball on the elbow with David West guarding him, it's pretty much a guaranteed 2 points.

The only problem is, on the other end, he's going to get murdered by David West :oldlol: So he has to try and score as much as he can to offset all of the points he's going to give up.

[Teanett]

Duh this article is trying to make it look like Chandler said that about Melo when really he said it to the team as a whole.

are you guys nuts?
pacers scored 82 points at home. the defense is clearly not the problem here.

this.

the knicks offense has gone broke in the playoffs.
they are down 10 points from the regular season average and are the worst offense in the playoffs. they also increased their usage of isolation plays by 10%. :facepalm

thanks melo. thanks woodson. :banghead:

[iDunk]

are you guys nuts?
pacers scored 82 points at home. the defense is clearly not the problem here.
Did you watch the game? The Pacers would've scored like 70 points if Tyson would've held Hibbert in check. The game would've been much different if Hibbert didn't look like Yao out there.

[Sarcastic]

Rebounding has been the biggest problem for the Knicks. The game they won, they won the rebound battle. In the 2 games they lost, they got destroyed on the boards.

[Mr. I'm So Rad]

are you guys nuts?
pacers scored 82 points at home. the defense is clearly not the problem here.

I think that was more of an anomaly than anything. The Pacers' offense can go through serious dry spells but that was extreme plus Vogel pulled his starters once the lead became insurmountable.

[Human Error]

Carmelo has been shooting 39 percent in the playoffs while leading all players in field goal attempts and Tyson Chandler is the only reason that the Knicks are down 2-1? Carmelo Anthony should be one of some reasons.

[niko]

I think that was more of an anomaly than anything. The Pacers' offense can go through serious dry spells but that was extreme plus Vogel pulled his starters once the lead became insurmountable.

When was this, four minutes left?

Chandler is ****ing ridiculous for saying this now, a game after Melo basically doesn't take many shots, and Chandler's matchup is the one that lost us the game. Is he joking with the timing?

[Clutch]

Not the only one but one of the main reasons for sure,if not THE MAIN.

[Crafty]

"about damn time"

[niko]

You have to have credibility to call out players or else it's divisive and not helpful. Last game (and the entire series) Hibbert has crapped all over Chandler. Chandler's job is rebounding and defending. His defense has been awful and he has 12 rebounds in three games.

He can't be calling people out now. He just can't.

[pejavelin]

I was getting very happy with the Knicks play though the season thinking they were going to be elite and they will have a strong run towards a possible finals. I gotta say I believed the hype. :facepalm

they suck. indiana is going to tear them apart, melo and jr are playing awful. I kind of expected that from both of them. knowing who they are.

Tyson knows how to win, he also knows what it feels to play with the likes of Dirk. Unfortunately melo cant even carry dirks jock.

[oh the horror]

Why do some of you take on the mentality that a member of a team, major or minor shouldn't have an opinion ? He's out there putting in work too.

[ClutchOver9000]

Why do some of you take on the mentality that a member of a team, major or minor shouldn't have an opinion ? He's out there putting in work too.

Who Chandler? :lol

Anyway my gripe w/ him is twofold. If he has a problem or concern w/ a teammate, you discuss it w/ them in person, you don't call them out in the media.

And to make matters worse, his timing is disgustingly off. Its not like's balling and angry at Melo for not pulling his weight, dude has been a certified scrub all playoffs, and just came off a game where he got absolutely sonned by Roy Hibbert and has the nerve to call out a teammate in the media no less...

[STATUTORY]

Tyson Chandler: 7 points,4 rebounds,1.7 blocks

Roy Hibbert: 14.7 points,10.7 rebounds,3 blocks

STFU TYSON. YOU'RE THE MAIN REASON WE'RE DOWN 2-1. START REBOUNDING AND DEFENDING OR GO BACK TO DALLAS.

:facepalm knicks fans are clowns. complete enablers of melo and JR, they could eifel tower rihanna during halftime while chucking 110 shots between them to match the 110 degree fever they be sporting and knicks fans will still defend them.

[Kaspah]

Tyson Chandler is the man.

Takes balls to call out your team captain like that. It was necessary though.

How about, a round of applause. :applause:

Ill wait to see if there is adjustments.

ahahahhahah EVERY SINGLE Knicks fan is defending Carmelo it's pathetic how sheepish you guys are. Almost as bad as the Bulls fans with Rose LMAOOO.

Tyson Chandler knows what it takes to win a championship, Carmelo barely knows what it takes to get out the first round.

Carmelo's last 6 games:

10-35
8-24
7-23
10-28
13-26
6-16

ONE efficient game for the Knicks "superstar" when it matters. 2APG for someone who handles the ball more than ANYONE in the NBA. But hey's a fu*king god and he is no part of the Knicks losing AT ALL according to stupid Knicks fans. Sheep, delusional, and d1ck riders. The New York fan base gives no sh1ts about championships just Carmelo shooting 30 shots per game and and hitting 10 tough fade aways.

If you guys were passionate about the team you wouldn't throw someone under the bus with championship experience trying to help the team rather than sit there and watch Melo shoot 35% every game on like 26 shots. That is NOT championship basketball and Tyson knows it. What has Melo every accomplish in his entire NBA career? Tyson is a much more accomplished player than Melo and knows what you have to do to win a championship. Melo has barely made it out the first round.

Carmelo plays well, Tyson plays the same=Knicks winning. Carmelo starts shooting bad, Tyson plays the same=Knicks losing.

Chandler has become kind of overrated since the Mavs championship run in 2011. Good rim protector and rebounder, but he's not the all-star caliber big man he's been made out to be.

Bull. Being on a team that won a ring shouldn't change how you view Chandler. He's a great piece for a contending team looking for a big. But he's still a roleplayer. I don't give a f4ck that he played glue guy for a championship team, he shouldn't be going out to the media to b1tch about his teammate. He should go to Melo and say this and stop being a p4ssy.

Who's Chandler think he's talking to? That's the alleged MVP, according to some guy in Boston.

Carmelo Anthony intends to privately speak with Tyson Chandler about comments made by the latter about him being too selfish in Game 3.

STFU TYSON. YOU'RE THE MAIN REASON WE'RE DOWN 2-1. START REBOUNDING AND DEFENDING OR GO BACK TO DALLAS.

Don't point the finger. Problem is attitude and effort of all team. It's should come to Woody's responsibility to solve.

[R.I.P]

If you guys were passionate about the team you wouldn't throw someone under the bus with championship experience trying to help the team rather than sit there and watch Melo shoot 35% every game on like 26 shots. That is NOT championship basketball and Tyson knows it. What has Melo every accomplish in his entire NBA career? Tyson is a much more accomplished player than Melo and knows what you have to do to win a championship. Melo has barely made it out the first round.
What's championship exp on that? He can talk internally to Melo, Smith, Woody or even owners. Why media?:facepalm

[Kiddlovesnets]

I remember there was a news of Tyson Chandler using his ddck to get a fish.
:lol

[SevereUpInHere]

Melo has been far from efficient, but he's mostly talking to JR 2-18 Starks here I feel.

Nothing wrong with calling teammates out, but Chandler needs to get his own shit sorted out here. He's given us nothing this playoffs. He's here for rebounding and Hibbert is killing him on the glass. Hibbert is challenging everything at the rim and that means we're going to miss shots around the rim, Chandler needs to crash the offensive boards and shut the hell up.

Having said that, I want Melo go back to his 4 second or less offense. Get a good shot up before the double comes or kick out and let the ball swing and try open up some 3s.

JR, I dunno, he's in a funk and he needs to just keep driving the ball and dish off if Hibbert is constantly altering shots at the rim, even if he's not shooting we need him and Felton to penetrate.

[ClutchOver9000]

No Knicks fan has said that Melo is playing up to par. Him and JR struggling (JR's fell off the map as a matter of fact) are a huge reason as to why we're down in this series.

Tyson fvcking Chandler the so-called DPOY, an all-star bigman being an absolute nonfactor is the other. KMart, the guy we picked up off the scrap heap not too far back has been a clear upgrade so far this postseason over the once-DPOY we're paying 14.5 mil. How is that defensible?

Whats not to understand that the way Chandler is going about things isn't the way to go and that he is the last guy to be calling anyone on the team out. If you have an issue w/ a teammate you discuss w/ them in person. And if you do decide to publicly call someone out, you best be putting in work yourself.

Inb4 "Tyson's a winner man, he's a champion"...Kendrick Perkins is a champion as well :oldlol:

Posters here making it sound like Tyson was the main player in that magical 2011 run. Yea it was Tyson not Dirk, JET, and Barea playing out of this world.

The fact that ppl are all praising Tyson's comments as leadership is beyond me. The guy didn't even bother to mention how he's gonna try to play better himself.

BTW this is assuming Tyson is indeed singling Melo out.

[AintNoSunshine]

I like your summarization

[[GR]]

Chandler is a joke. He's been a no show two straight years in the playoffs. He doens't play with energy, he doesn't try to block shots, and he's useless on offense. He has no leg to criticize anyone this series, especially after Melo moved the ball and only took 16 shots last game. The fact that he couldn't stop Hibbert on offense or rebounding was the difference.

He's been all talk all year. He's completely overrated.

[SevereUpInHere]

BTW, Chandler is not even averaging a full rebound a game more than Melo and barely more than Shump this post season.

Not good enough.

Tyson got absurdly over-rated and overpaid following the title in 11.

People forget that just going into that year...nobody in the league even wanted him. He was a cast off. He played great in Dallas...don't get me wrong, but he's over-rated...he's just not nearly as good on defense as he's made out to be...nor is he as great a rebounder. And outside of setting screens he brings very little offensively.

Also, people getting on him about guarding Hibbert. Chandler is actually an average to below average man to man defender. Dirk actually played better man to man defense in that 11 run against the post players on the other teams.

Chandler's value is on everything but man to man defense.
