Is Tyson Chandler the Answer?

Tyson Chandler finally played well against the Celtics.

Here's what I wrote prior to that game. I would like to state that the Nuggets beat the Mavs without Nene, Martin and Andersen.

So who's fault is it? The blame points directly to Tyson Chandler and Brendan Haywood. I never thought I would say this, but Eric Dampier is better than both of them combined.

The Problem

Against Sheldon Williams, Melvin Ely and Al Harrington, Tyson Chandler had 3 points and 5 rebounds and Brendan Haywood had 0 points and 7 rebounds. Do the math and that equals a truck - 3 points and 12 rebounds. At Stanford, we had a saying for big men that looked like players but simply couldn't play. We called them "trucks." Tyson Chandler and Brendan Haywood are trucks. They look the part, but never do anything to impact the game.
