Chandler:

Tim Duncan may be the toughest cover in the league. He's just so fundamentally sound. Any mistake you ever make, he capitalizes on it. But I told the coaches that we were doing so much doubling and so much scrambling, I felt like I could do a better job just covering him one-on-one. And if he makes some shots, he makes some shots. But he's making shots with the double teams, so it doesn't really matter. So, I kinda took the challenge on of playing him one-on-one a little more.

Last night, I was telling my agent and my wife that he's one of the few guys in the league that I love and respect. I respect what he does as a player, as well as his personality and demeanor. What he's able to accomplish on the floor and still stay even keel ... I have love and respect for what he does out ther

still can't stand him, but i think that is kinda classy.

I'll appreciate that more if we beat them on their court.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Hopefully he can respect him more by letting him 40 pts on game 7

All players in the league respect Tim and some even admire him. But a lot of refs don't give Tim the respect of other stars in the league.

Oh and maybe this is his way of saying "okay Tim, I know I got lucky and you missed shots you normally make the other way. But I love and respect you...so please don't go ape on me next game...please. "

How can you not stand him? Tyson Chandler is anything but unlikable. What has this guy ever done?

i have never really liked him, though.

Dammit...every time I read stuff like this, it makes it impossible to hate those guys. I watched a video of Chris Paul from several years ago, when he scored 61 points in a single game in HS to honor his 61-year-old grandfather who had passed away. Damn...just damn...can't hate on CP3, guys...oh, well...

I'd imagine that most players respect TD and his accomplishments, opponents have praised him the majority of the time. Dont see how this is any different with Chandler and his porn stache.

sons Tim is one of my all time favorite players. he is even a better person off the court. on the other hand, Tyson seems to be following in his footsteps character wise. Tysons offense may not be a threat, but he is an incredible defensive player and the true MVP of our team. take him away and we are done.

Honestly, I don't know why anyone would actually dislike Chandler, West, & Paul. They're all good guys that have game. We're in a series so we have to talk some smack though.

i can definitely appreciate this thread..almost like how every one hates bruce bowen but i gotta tell you i would love to have him on the hornets and anyone who says they wouldnt is full of ..and as far as manu and tony parker and tim right now i feel like i have to go skip bayless on lebron over exaggerate my criticism of them since we are dueling.

[mystargtr34]

We can all hate them during the series for killing us.... i hate those 3 during the game... but im sure a couple days after the series is over win or lose, ill go back to respecting the out of the Hornets.
