The pacers are big and are out rebounding the heat exactly the way they did the knicks, everybody rebounds the ball on that team, and everybody defends and are in a position to rebound..
Tyson is not a top ten center after this past year. His offensive rebounding is hard to compete with and he has a good alley oop in his arsenal but the guy was a poor defender and a liability most of the time on offense.

He's in the mix for top ten centers this season.
In no order:
Dwight Howard (Health is a factor)
Marc Gasol
Roy Hibbert
Brook Lopez
Joakim Noah
Greg Monroe
Al Jefferson
Al Horford
Larry Sanders
Tyson Chandler

Bynum & Varejao missed more than half the season.
A case can be made for Pekovic, Vucevic & Asik.
Bosh, KG, Pau Gasol, & Ibaka are all PF. This is where it gets tricky and why the center position was removed from the all-star balloting. Some consider Al Jefferson & Al Horford PFs.
In my mind, I still think he's a top ten legit center for the '12-'13 regular season.

I can't remember how many times I'd be yelling at the TV screen after seeing just stand there and watch the rebound go to someone else. He wouldn't jump or even hold his arms up. Like his motor died or something. His man on man defense deteriorated early in the season and hasn't been anywhere near what he was in year 1 with New York.
I'm not calling on a trade because even as soft as he seemed, we were still better with him that without him. I wouldn't be opposed to seeing him and Shump (might have to throw in Novak) for Paul but we'd desperately would need to find another decent big out there which is difficult. Last thing we need it another big useless stiff who can't rebound or defend.
