Tyson Chandler, while in DAL, took away MIA's ability to drive towards the rim...greatly limited it.
Tyson Chandler is a MUCH better center than Brendan Haywood.
Tyson Chandler is a top defensive center - along with Perkins. Plus, Tyson isn't afraid to give a hard foul - just like Perk.
Tyson Chandler sets the tone defensively for NY (and DAL, while he was there). I respect him in that regard, because he reminds me of our Kevin Garnett.
A potential NY-MIA series will feature Lebron and DWade shooting from the outside a lot. They may venture into the paint some, but not much.
I stand by my earlier assessment - NY could upset MIA in the first round. Admittedly, the likelyhood of that happening is a bit small because of NY's backcourt deficiencies....
BUT WAIT!
- didn't NY lay one on BOSTON just the other night??Jus' sayin.
Don't take New York Knicks lightly. Mike Woodson will have those boys focused for the playoffs.
Not sure why there is such a fear of MIA on celticsblog........
