NBA needs to change rebound stats.

[holidayinn21]

I've seen chandler blatantly bat the ball when he's only one going for the board.

they're needs to be different interpretations on the rule.

I have no problem with this

What if they just created a new stat called the tap out? It can be sorta like pass deflections or QB hurries in the NFL. Those aren't as valuable as a sack or INT, but they're still important. Even if it's not a rebound, it's valuable in its own way. It should be recorded by the NBA, so we can have another way of quantifying a player's activity on the floor and value to his team.

What shadown? Yall acting like yall the Lakers or Celtics

One playoff win in 10 years and yall think yall the talk of New York

back to back playoff performances vs 12 win seasons go get your teeth fixed bytch

Yeah the NBA should just tell their stat guys to limit rebounds to true controlled taps. Basically a player needs to be making a controlled tap pass to a specific teammate. Then he should also get credit for an assist on a made basket.

You want them to be psychics? You don't know what chandler is doing , he said he practices it and the guards stay back for the back tap . Any way ITs the rule now I have more of a problem with Kevin loves stat padding and not playing defense in order to get rebounds or rondo trying to force assists atleast chandler is competing

Wth is up with getting a rebound for slapping a ball out of the air and luckily your teammate gets ball. ie: Tyson Chandler.

By league rules, rebounds are credited to the first player that gains possession of the ball immediately after a missed shot. The reason Chandler isn’t credited with a rebound is because he typically slaps it out towards the top of the key to no one in particular. However, when he knocks the ball back to one of his teammates directly, then he is given credit for the rebound.

Therefore the rebounding stat is not awarded as randomly as you make it out to be.

Overall bullshyt rule/stat in that case...because most of the time he's just swatting it backwards with the hopes that his teammate is in the general area....

If it's a blind reactionary swat that is visibly out of his control - like if the ball just hits his hand and he just flinches but really has no actual control of it's direction - than they won't count it as his rebound - there is definitely a degree of discretion involved the statisticians aren't totally inept. You can complain about the way they record stats but in this case this stat has been consistently recorded this way since the 1950's. If you change the rule now you throw away an entire NBA history's worth of rebound stats.

Rodman used to tap the ball alot, so we're going to discredit that?

No, but they could use common sense. They should error on the side of being sure it was controlled and intentionally tapped directly to a teammate. It's already the rule, they are just applying it too liberally.

Read the previous posts they explain the rule they aren't applying it liberally because if they were chandler would of had 30+ bounds. Admit you didn't watch the game that closely

I've seen him do it tons. I was assuming that he was getting credit for every back tap where his team retained possesion. Thought that was the premise of the thread. If he only gets credit for true controlled taps, then there is no issue.

Moses Malone ate well off of this...now it's an issue? Sh!t goes back to peewee ball...now it's an issue?

It's because it's a Knick and because Clyde and breen dont know the rule. they keep saying that they give him rebounds on plays that they don't since Breen doesn't get the rule . They say every back tap that Chandler getting a rebound

 

[Bilz]

Would we feel better about things if Ray Felton was statistically recognized as a top 5 rebounder?

Tyson Chandler is doing this shyt by design and it's the reason his team gets the rebound.

 

[shawn unkempt]

How are teams not camping on this shyt when they play the Knicks by now? They could get a bunch of easy transition hoops a game

 

[ThaGlow]

IMO the only rebound that should count is when two or more players from opposite teams going up for the rebound. Fukk those uncontested ones that come from a brick and bounces to a player with the other team already running back on D.
