Amar’e’s job to get back after they build
“It’s our job to build a wall,” Chandler lebron 8 v2 said, “and it’s me and Amar’e’s job to get back after they build that wall and protect the paint.”
The Warriors wanted Chandler for that same purpose and pursued him aggressively when free agency opened. Chandler said the Warriors were his first choice until the Knicks made a surprising last-minute pitch. The decision was made all the more difficult because Mark Jackson, the Warriors’ rookie coach, is a neighbor and friend of Chandler’s. Both live in the Los Angeles area in the off-season, about a mile apart.
The Knicks’ rotation will have a few new wrinkles. Bibby will join the mix after missing the opener because of a sore back. The rookie Josh Harrellson will be the first big man off the bench, in place of Jeffries. After that, the frontcourt gets thin. The next in line would be Jerome Jordan, who D’Antoni refers to as a project, and Steve Novak, who is purely a 3-point specialist.
Because of the truncated 66-game schedule, this will be the Knicks’ only trip to the West Coast and, in fact, their only trip past the Central time zone. They will not visit Portland, Phoenix, Utah, Denver nike lebron 8 or the Clippers this season. After this trip, the farthest west they will travel will be San Antonio.
