I think your overrating his passing. I'm not saying he's not good but he's not some point foward you could run an offense thru like Lebron or Scottie pippin. I mean all he had todo is hot the open shooter and he has a ton of space because of the guys surrounding him. I think draymond green is a stud but I think he's a stud because of his defense, One of the best Iv ever seen. Offensively he's and above avg player. That shoots a respectable 33-34% from three to keep the defense honest. His passes always come off secondary action he's not the primary distributor he doesn't run pick and roll and threads pocket passes. He does two thing gets in the lane and throws to the corner of he stands up top and hits a cutter. Not saying he's bad but there is quite a few guys that can make those passes if they played on that team in that role imo.
That dive on the floor tonight, with a minute left, was the play of the game. Kept the ball alive for Harden's alley-oop to Clint. Then who fights off the big guys for that offensive rebound with half a minute left, to kill the rest of the clock? And who ends up with the ball at the end? PJ. Patrick Beverley still deserves to be on a championship team. But we have a new junkyard dog now. Let's get PJ a ring.
I knew PJ was good, but didn’t know he was this strong and active hustler! Tucker is more of a junkyard dog than Elie.
While he hustles his numbers are fluctuating. From 2 rebounds to 8 rbs to 13 rbs a game. Same with steals and so on. More of an X, Y, Z Thiccccc factor.
Great to see PJ stepping up big time with Luc being out, and Ariza struggling vs LBJ. Hope to see Luc back too, but not at the expense of PJ.
Reminds me of watching Chuckwagon year ago. He's not as gifted a passer as Hayes but he's a better shooter.
Just Tucker being Tucker. So glad he's proving his worth to doubters so early in the season. Defies belief people didn't think this pick up was huge for us.
PJ Tucker is the new Chuck Hayes. It's almost scary because they have almost all the same attributes on defense, the same built & demeanor. The only difference is Chuck was a better passer, and PJ can shoot. But defensively we're at looking Chuck Hayes 2017
Will Harden ever hustle like that? Dive on the floor, do everything he can to win a game? One can dream right..
That sequence near the end of the fourth when we got 4 orebs in a possession... Brought a tear to my eye. If I recall, PJ grabbed one of them boards straight outa the clutches of LBJ himself. P-Bev will always hold a special place in my heart, but if PJ gives us games like that on the regs, I'm gonna need a bigger heart
I haven’t been in the garm much lately. Why the hell are you people calling this guy the “tuck wagon” now? Just wtf. That sounds so beyond stupid. Like that might be the stupidest nickname I have ever seen period. Stop trying so desperately to give everyone a nickname. That’s just outlandishly bad.
It's a reference to the "Chuck Wagon" Chuck Hayes who played center and was only 6'6. Guy was also gritty and t h i c c.
