Tyson Chandler Says Jeremy Lin Wasn’t Able to Run Knicks’ Offense

The Knicks were dead in the water until he was inserted into the lineup. He kept D’Antoni around a little longer. Amar’e was a statue on the floor watching Melo shoot and not being involved really in the offense until Lin got him going. He brought excitement to the Garden. Excitement to the league. Tyson should have nothing to say except “Thanks for making us relevant and a team worth watching and good luck in Houston”.

If running the offense meant giving the ball to Melo on the wing and let him isolate, then Lin really didn’t do that much

With an Olympic Gold…Lin is nowhere near the relative value of Tyson. Also read the report again – he’s telling the truth and was probably prompted again and again until he gave some kind of answer.

Bottom line: Felton + Kidd > Lin + Baron

1. Which veteran point guard do you talk about? Felton or JKidd? Jeremy Lin beat both teams they (veterans) were with as a PG.
2. Did they win Lakers by 38 points while Kobe shot 31 points?
3. How did they do when they were 23-year-old?
How many PGs in NBA played over 40 mins night to night.
You should learn the statistic: the turnovers / mins the ball was on his hand. And how come he is the top scorer in NBA history, not the veteran (s) you preferred.
Just want to be fair for the comment with JLin. He will be better and better. Not the person who always find excuses to blame others.

The linsanity run was all a fluke

that’s not even really true…. although I think they might be better for this melo-centric offense. but is melo-ball the right way to go for the knicks? I DOUBT it.

i am just able to remember what actually happens and am able to read. just trying to help people in here coz im a nice person

I actually kinda agree with you, but at the same time had melo cooperated w/ the offense (i.e. kept the ball moving, and become the catch and shoot monster he was in the olympics) Lin could have made defenses pay for focusing on him

tyson needs to stop acting tough on the court, and then off the court takes nude pictured for ESPN.

A 7 game winning streak is a lucky run? In a season when the Knicks were 8-15 before that and losing to teams like the Bobcats? The sudden turnaround was lucky? Get your head out of your ass and you might be less of a dumbass. But probably neither would happen.

could happen, we will see

And Tyson; what did you ever run, but yo mouth???thought so..try to stay healthy and maybe you’ll get; 11 minutes per game, this season..

Nothing lucky about going up against Kobe Bryant, Dirk Nowitzki and Jason Kidd and performing well.

He brought excitement to the league? For like a week? No one would know who the hell he was if this wasnt the age of twitter and instant information.

What happened the rest of the season? He started playing in an iso system with iso focused players. He didn’t fit well with Melo or Amare, especially Carmelo. Of course he was hyped but you’re saying media hype helped them win 7 straight games to get them back to .500? You’re even more retarded than Verified Account.

He came out of nowhere and ended up being a part of the All-Star Weekend. The Knicks were boring to watch before him. Were you under a rock in February? With or without Twitter, all you needed was ESPN to know who he was. Pretty stupid comment from you.

There’s Is something about sleeping on a scrub.. Remember all these stars were tired cause it was basically mid season. They weren’t focusing on this scrub

kidd and felton also had many great games in their carreer, so far actually more than lin had. you guys wining for lin are not able to read properly. nobody said lin was a bad player, actually he is a good player with the potential to become great one day. his ball handling was just horribly under average and later in the season before he got hurt teams were able to shut him down and totally took him out of the game by forcing him to go left. lin may be a better overall player than felton and kidd (at kidds age now) but he lacks that playmaking ability that felton and kidd have. the thing is, lin knows that. he also said that he is watching alot of film (also film of felton) to learn and improve his game. and again, NOBODY said that lin was a bad player. Everybody said that he brought the knicks back to live last year. chandler and anyone in here defending the statement is just stating facts. you tardos need to learn how to read properly

he played a major role in the mavericks title run, won defensive player of the year honors, overcame an injury plagued early carreer to become a reliable defensive anchor for his squads to rely on. and what did you ever run or achieve compared to that?

‘Faggot’. Nothing in my post indicates anything about my sexual orientation. But everything in your post says that you’re an idiot. Despite your attempt at a rebuttal, you still fail to defend how utterly stupid your comment was. I don’t give a shit about the man, but I will give him objective due where it is deserved and I won’t where it isn’t. You calling that run ‘lucky’ means that you’re either completely fucking stupid or that you just can’t stand that an ordinary-looking mediocre-athletic asian cat played well this past season and garnered unprecedented media attention along the way. If it’s the latter, you’re still a complete fucking idiot but even worse you’re a spiteful one.

Shutup mr kno it all. You dont know sh.ittttt

you can just spell shit.

Still believe that everyone slept on him. When they focused on him. He got torn apart. Lets see how your man performs this season. He’s def not elite. You forgot to see how many flaws he has in his game

His turnovers actually prove he’s a young guard. Most young point guards turn it over a lot. It’s called adapting to the game.
