    If the Rockets were the Globe Trotters nobody would care that much, or if the Rox were a charity team and they do not compete for a Championship except for the Championship of the Hearts!

    Time for Ryan Anderson to step up & earn that $19M in Harden's absence.

    Just kidding! He'll remain useless as usual.

    If a team's PF can't do any defense, the team can't win a champion, forever.
    If ryan has 70% Robert Holly, it's ok. but ryan is only ryan, any champion team can't have this type player to be main PF, he is a bench player . A border Player earn 20m$/year is a jock . Morey didn't understand what he was doing, he is destroying the team chance to win a champion

    I wish we'd look to set Ryan up a little bit more. His only value is as a scorer. So far this season he seems to have become the fourth or fifth offensive option (6.7 shot attempts per game in December) and it's not a good look.

    He's too damn easy to guard. Just get up on him and he doesn't have a 2nd move to get counter it. D'antoni ran an Eric Gordon play to get him open at the top of they key he bricked it so bad it didn't touch the rim.

    Bulls already flopped with the Jordan Bell trade, no way they do that again

    Because Chicago has him on the trade block and they are willing to take on salary.. they said they will since they're under the cap!

    Your replies to this thread and all others regarding PJ Tucker make you sound like he's the MVP of the Rockets.

    Here's actual facts which you can't deny:

    PJ Tucker's PER (Player Efficiency Rating) rating is 8.54 which ranks him 311th out of 343 NBA players who are on pace to hit 500 minutes for the season.

    PJ Tucker's VA (Valued Added) rating is -26.2 which ranks him 329th out of 343 NBA players who are on pace to hit 500 minutes for the season.

    PJ Tucker's EWA (Estimated Wins Added) rating is -0.9 which ranks him tied for 322nd out of 343 NBA players who are on pace to hit 500 minutes for the season.

    Ryan Anderson beats him in ALL 3 categories. What does that tell you?

    I threw it in your face... now what? How can you respond to this post? Oh wait... he blocked Kuzma (A rookie) at the buzzer while he was trying to beat the shot clock.... oh wait he was in the right spot for a loose ball put back - every dog has its day but to you it means he's the MVP OF THE GAME - WAY TO GO PJ!!

    I see it this way - If he wouldn't have given up 4 stupid fouls (such as the Caruso AND1 dunk) in 20 mins or miss three wide open 3s we would never have been in an overtime game against the 2nd worst team in the league. Maybe then Harden wouldn't have been injured having to play out of his mind in order to overcome a double digit 4th quarter deficit.
