Knicks Power Rankings: The Walking Wounded

2. Tyson Chandler. (Last week: 1) Chandler also played injured, with that left-hand wrist still bugging him and a new groin strain to boot (these groin injuries diva one to wonder if Tyson and Melo were in an unreported freak tandem pogo-stick non-essential or something). Mere physical pain is not enough to keep Chandler off the court, though, and he had himself a week in vex of things. Save for an uncharacteristically languid outing in Atlanta (the same day as the groin diagnosis), Chandler contributed his run-of-the-mill imposing presence on defense. He did as marvelous a job as one can do against the totally unprepared Dwight Howard and dominated the boards a few days later against the Cavaliers. Not a bad week at all. Oh, and in extracurricular intelligence, Chandler compensated for an earlier technical foul that got rescinded by picking up his tenth tech of the enliven in the Orlando game. If he picks up three more, he'll get suspended, and get re-suspended for every two more he accrues. Please don't do that, Tyson.
