Tonight we're playing against Chicago and I had a feeling Tyson always plays great against them so I decided to check the stats.
Look at the last few games against them:
Dec. 8 @ Chicago L - 14 points,18 rebounds,1 block
Apr. 10 @ Chicago L - 10 points,15 rebounds,3 blocks
Apr. 8 vs Chicago W - 8 points,16 rebounds,3 blocks (had numerous tip outs,one of them leading to a three by Melo to win the game)
So that's an average of 10.7 points,16.3 rebounds and 2.3 blocks. Pretty impressive.
Let's see how he'll do tonight. We always need a big performance from him against Chicago because they are the best rebounding team in the league.
They should throw it down to Chandler on the block to create for himself. Just see what happens.
He was forced to do that a couple of times as a Knick and he didn't look so bad. He's 7'1 and has a really long arms so he can shoot over anyone even without having any offensive moves.
Nikola Peković comes from my area. People from Croatia and Montenegro are known for their size and strength (especially the ones near the sea and in the mountains). Nothing weird to see him being so strong.
What separates him from other big guys in the league is that he's not only strong,he's actually pretty skilled.
I watched him play in Serbia and he was a beast down there too. Not only in regional league but in Euroleague also.
Just when you thought Tyson was regaining his form and actually started to play well he got owned in 3 straight games. Accidentally,we lost two of them.
L vs Bulls:
Joakim Noah - 15/12/6
Tyson Chandler - 5/8
W vs Wolves:
Nikola Peković - 21/17
Tyson Chandler - 16/9
L vs Lakers:
Dwight Howard - 14/12
Tyson Chandler - 6/9
Im most concerned with the rebounding. I never saw him as this prolific defender anyway but rebounding is as much about effort and concentration as it is skill. An athletic center thats 7'1" with long arms should not get under double digit rebounds. With a team thats going small to begin with, we cant afford that. I dont wanna hear he is the only guy trying to rebound because often times his man is the one yanking down boards.
This mother****er man. Is he a toddler? He's always sick. He needs to get that checked out.
Preview of the playoffs:
Tyson sick,Camby and Sheed hurt because they are too old,Amare injures himself in game 3 (game 1 in 2011.,game 2 in 2012. so it will be game 3 this year) and Melo does some stupid shit.
