I don’t think you’re going to enjoy my point guard rankings very much.

Chandler had a lot to do with it, as strong defensive centers always do, but I remember watching that series and being really impressed by the way West handled Duncan when they were matched up. It was a year and a half ago, so maybe I’m not remembering right, and really, what do I know anyway :).

I don’t think the loss of Chandler is going to hurt them that much since Okafor is just as good, if not better, defensively. He’s a better shot-blocker, equivalent rebounder, and he fouls less. I think they’ll be just fine with him defensively.

Nice preview.

Enjoyed your thoughts on the Okafor-Chandler trade, and Chris Paul’s brilliance. However, I think Chandler was most responsible for holding Tim Duncan to 42 percent shooting in the Western Conference Semifinals.

He did a great job all series funneling Duncan into help, and even held his own one-on-one. He was the cornerstone of the Hornets’ defense. It will be interesting to see how his absence affects the team this season.
