I have to apologize to Tyson Chandler. I just read in Sports Illustrated:

Tyson Chandler, who at week’s end led the league in boards per 48 minutes (16.5), while averaging 1.40 blocks

Good points. Yeah Tyson will get his boards most nights – but the rest of the time he’s complaining about a foul call or something like that, and it gets him out of his game. He also needs to bulk up – he turns sideways, I can’t even see him. But he should be rebounding more, you’re right.

I definitely hear you on Elton Brand and the rebounds but Tyson Chandler should have 10 boards in his sleep. He’s not really asked to score and he’s 7 feet tall. He needs to step up and hustle. If Dennis Rodman (6’7″) and Charles Barkley (6’6″) can dominate the boards, Tyson Chandler (7’1″) should be able to grab at least 10 a night.

Sweet! I’m from Chicago, too. Been to a dozen Bulls games already this year. Might try for Saturday evening… only a few left!

Nocioni is good, yes – but when he’s “off,” he’s “off.” You can really tell the difference in his game. Last night, he played great. He was explosive to the hoop, and he still buried the outside J. Nice touch.

I also like the energy that Deng has been putting forth, lately. Seems like he got more explosive in the second half of the season.

I don’t understand why the Bulls fall apart, either. Some nights, they can finish so well, and others – they just seem lost. That fourth quarter was painful to watch.

Regarding the rebounds, it’s time like that we miss Elton Brand. Boy did we get robbed.
