<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">[IMGR]http://www.chicagosportsreview.com/content/img/f181795/Tyson_Chandler_1.jpg[/IMGR]I'm not sure if it was the fact that he didn't have to guard Shaq for another night, or the 67 million options that could occupy his off-season, or even the chance to shake the Reverend Jesse's hand outside the locker room, but I do remember distinctly what was a real lack of dejection from Tyson Chandler following Game Six of the Bulls-Heat series. The Bulls had just been knocked out of the playoffs, and Chandler was getting dressed, answering questions, and, based on what I saw, ready to move on. He wasn't doing handstands, but he smiled here and there. Perhaps his was the smile of a man looking forward toward a bright Bulls future. I don't know. Yet it wasn't a look of pain. You couldn't compare it to a barely audible Kirk Hinrich, or an equally dour Ben Gordon, whose locker is next to Captain Kirk's. I like Chandler, but I'm not sure he's wired the way the others are. The way Ben Wallace is. And it's odd that Chandler would have the look of a "happy to be here" when that should be the phrase on Big Ben's business card considering where they came from. And yet it's not that way, which is why the Bulls are a vastly different team right now. Ben Wallace is everything Tyson Chandler could be, which is still everything he's not. It's passion - which Chandler sometimes had, and urgency, which he certainly didn't have.</div> Source Although, I agree with a ton of things in this article I think they are taking some unwarranted shots at Chandler simple because he was not acting as if the world was about to end when the Bulls lost. Chandler was in the best situation of his live about to have his first child. That’s probably why he was more optimistic then dour.
I act the same way if we lose in sports. It just doesnt affect me once it is all said and done and I get over it quickly.

I haven't been in a really huge game, so I don't know how I would feel then.
If chandler was smiling and grinning after that lossI know why. He was happy the season was over. I think he was already looking toward next season. He was thinking about bulking up and FINALLY working on his game. But too little too late. Weve got a better player in Wallace and Im not Mad that he's gone. Go Bulls!!!
