Chandler's ankle OK, ready to tackle Amare Posted at 5:01 PM on Tue., Feb. 1, 2011 | Eddie Sefko / Reporter http://tinyurl.com/48mhykw 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的伤势并不是太严重。 他本人说：实际上，伤势比我想像的还要轻多了，我以为会肿很大，但是还OK。 这对小牛来说事件好事，因为下一场要碰上尼克队， 小牛本来就预计要用他来对付 Amare Stoudemire。 总而言之，Tyson Chandler明天没有意外应该是会上场。 其他都是谈到Tyson Chandler和Rick Carlisle在夸赞Amare Stoudemire的部分，就 不多罗嗦了。 -- ╭─────────╮ Our Way Our Will Our Win ╭╯Dallas Mavericks╭╯ ￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣￣ ╰─────────╯ --
