PJ Tucker, the KEY to a 2018 Title

Patrick Patterson signed with the wrong team.

 

The key is James Harden.

Would you rather have 2 Harden's on the team, or Tucker's???

 

The key to combat the Raptors as an Ex Raptor. And to destroy the Suns.

 

It'd be hilarious if Harden led some double life where he's all about the business and "parties" is just code for a real meeting decked out with suits and agents.

 

When Tucker is scoring, all is right in the world.

He adds so much versatility on defense.

When he was signed, a friend of mine who is a big Suns fan said that if we win the title this season, Tucker will be a big part of the reason. For me, he is the guy that matches up with Draymond Green...he's the guy that's going to do the stuff we don't necessarily want Harden and Paul doing. He can defend most positions well and score, too. He's what Marwin Gonzalez is to the Astros.

 

and he doesn't have to score much.

Rockets are 31-1 when PJ scores more than 5 points.

 

Went to the Milwaukee game last night. First time seeing PJ live.

Holy ish he looks like he could bench a dump truck. He and Prince Luc have been fantastic additions to the team.

...And Chris Paul wasn't bad either.

 

I would feel much better about our chances at dethroning the Warriors if PJ can shoot 40% in the playoffs. Having one of our defenders spot up in the wing is the way to punish teams that try to take away the CC pick and roll. In the fact, the last few games, we are seeing more of that as the help defenders are sticking closer to Capela, which is leaving PJ open in the corner. If PJ is bricking, it takes away CC's effectiveness which ultimately cripples our offense.

 

We are undefeated with Joe Johnson on our team. He doesn't even have to play for us to win.

 

PJ is shooting 43.7 3F% during this streak, on nearly 2 makes a game.

Despite that, count on Green not guarding him closely in the playoffs, as Green won't be able to resist providing GSW rim protection. This is also why having Ryan out there vs Green has worked this year, because Green cannot leave Ryan...so our driving has been better.

 

pj's a better two-way player so 2 pj's > 2 harden's

Besides PJ this team is loaded to compete for the Chip! Still the bench is not giving enough credit like the Raptors bench is given. Will see how it goes tomorrow against the Best from the East.

 

Off topic here, but why the hell is the game between the best team in the west and the best team in the east NOT on national TV?!

 

its not exactly something that was foreseen when the tv schedule was made

 

Newsflash: 2Pat still sucks. He's underperforming for a team that REALLY needs him to be productive.

So glad we never signed this stiff to anything long-term.
