Marc Berman's post on New York Knicks | Latest updates on Sulia

Tyson Chandler was one of few #Knicks delighted the club had a road game on Christmas. Chandler is from Compton,

California. He was happy when schedule came out with #Knicks facing Lakers on Christmas in LA, where his parents and several relatives live. His wife and kids flew into LA the other day. "I’m just excited to spend Christmas with my family,'' Chandler said. "It’s been about 12 years since I had the opportunity to celebrate the holidays with my family and be able to see my grandparents. It should be a lot of energy and excitement playing there.’’ Chandler was very close to signing with Golden State when he was a free agent until the Knicks stepped up late. He should be pumped going up against Dwight Howard again. Dwight said recently he deserved DOPY. Felton, on the other hand, lamented this was first year he'd been away from family during Christmas. Said it would be worth it with a win.
