Chandler's ankle OK, ready to tackle Amare

Tyson Chandler suffered a tweak to his right ankle late in the third quarter
Monday night against Washington, but he reported Tuesday that the injury is
not serious.
"Actually, it's feeling better than I thought it would,'' he said. "I thought
it might swell up more. But it's OK.''
It's a good thing, because Chandler figures to get the bulk of the duty on
New York's Amare Stoudemire Wednesday night when the Mavericks visit the
Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
"I'm going to take the best four or five every night,'' said Chandler,
referring to the top offensive threat from the opponents' center or power
forward. "That's what I'm here for. Amare's been incredible. He plays with
passion every night.''
Chandler, by the way, believes Stoudemire must be included on the short list
of MVP candidates. And part of the reason is that he's revived one of the
NBA's most important franchises into relevancy.
"He should definitely be considered,'' Chandler said. "He's elevated them to
a whole new level after they've struggled. And that's a team in our league -
the Knicks, the Lakers, the Celtics - you want to see those teams do well.
And for years, the Knicks haven't done well. For Amare to go back there and
restore the tradition, you got to give him a lot of credit.''
Even though the Mavericks hope to keep the Knicks from being great on
Wednesday, Carlisle couldn't agree more when it comes to Stoudemire's play
this season. After all those seasons with Phoenix, he's been even better with
New York after getting reunited with coach Mike D'Antoni.
"I can't imagine an MVP conversation right now that didn't include Amare
Stoudemire's name,'' Carlisle said. "Both statistically and how he's
revitalized their franchise and their fan base and what he's contributed in
terms of winning. He's a load to deal with. We know it better than anybody.
"He's going to have some kind of advantage on virtually everybody he goes
against. If you put a smaller, quicker guy on him, he's got a size advantage.
If you put a bigger guy on him, he's going to have a quickness advantage. His
jump shot sets up his drive game and his drive game sets up his jump shot.
There isn't a weakness in his offensive game.''
Tyson Chandler的傷勢並不是太嚴重。
他本人說：實際上，傷勢比我想像的還要輕多了，我以為會腫很大，但是還OK。
這對小牛來說事件好事，因為下一場要碰上尼克隊， 小牛本來就預計要用他來對付
Amare Stoudemire。
總而言之，Tyson Chandler明天沒有意外應該是會上場。
其他都是談到Tyson Chandler和Rick Carlisle在誇讚Amare Stoudemire的部分，就
不多囉嗦了。
