    Love PJ. He's my favorite current Rocket.

    As to whether we have an answer for Draymond, I don't know. Draymond is the single player that makes me wonder if we have enough. I'm not worried about any other matchup with the Warriors. I am worried about how we match up with Draymond if they are healthy and they go small.

    You don’t think PJ Tucker can match up with Draymond at PF as starters?

    Then slide Tucker to center when Draymond Green slides over to center as their small ball center.
    One is 6’7” while the other is listed as 6’6”

    That’s what I expect Houston will do in the playoffs

    I'll admit I didn't like him at first because he seemed irritated and I mistook that as him being a malcontent or disgruntled. I now realize that's just how he looks. A happy PJ is him shaking his head, frowning and shouting angrily at an official, coach, or teammate.

    Sixteen Technical Fouls on the season and a player must sit out a game...rolls over into the playoffs.

    Draymond has 15.
    Durant just picked up 2 techs tonight; believe Durant sits at 14 now.
    Westbrook at 14, if he didn’t get one tonight vs Spurs.

    Tucker and Harden have 6 each.

    CP3 has 10.

    draymon green plays the anthony mason type role, tought defender down low, big body, but he doesnt put up mason type numbers in rebs, to me hes young player who's feed off the #'s of a team, put him in a role with a team like hes on now, you can see they suck and he sucks.

    Players that make shots are more well loved than those that miss them. Go figure.

    I'm pretty sure all those techs don't roll into the playoffs - instead everyone gets a blank slate, and suspension begins after 7 playoff techs.

    missing shots was only part of it...people were also saying that his defense is very overrated, he’s a bad contract, etc...he was getting killed in game threads, but now it’s all love

    I really think PJ will do well on draymond when we face them. Draymond usually has pretty below par bigs trying to guard him, making his playmaking pretty resistance-less. And he wont be able to punk PJ either.

    Didn't know Tucker was such a prolific passer.

    They are about the same height but what makes Donkey a valuable animal is his ability to be a playmaker.

    PJ is the new PJ. A guy with a good contract for his skillset. Limited skillset however still decent.

    Really. I thought when Draymond was suspended in 15/16 because LeBron stepped over him and Draymond
    punched upward it was because that was tech number 16 for the year.
