    LMAO retooling, do you honestly believe this team is going anywhere no, we dont got anything.

    You cant be a prophet if you are right about literally nothing bro. I dont think someone would even call you that ironically.

    Yep, let's hope that Lucas can help Porter become a mature human.

    Yeah that’s a good trade for both team. Eric Gordon might get pissed but he understands the situation

    I don’t want curuso. Don’t need him taking minutes or a roster spot from our young untouchables

    From the Chronicle’s Jon Feigen’s “points of the game,” the game being our win vs the Pelicans. This is from a post game interview with John Wall. I thought it worth posting, considering the criticism PJ Tucker’s gotten this season, not entirely undeserved when we compare his performance with what we’ve become accustomed to. Perhaps we should look closer. Wall apparently has the audacity to do so.

    3. Wall was not asked about P.J. Tucker in a way. When he decided to talk about Tucker, anyway, he was making a larger point.

    Tucker has always been the sort of player those that look beyond box scores, and especially teammates, appreciate. But in speaking of the virtues of doing the things that are often overlooked, the things that have been so important to the Rockets’ turnaround, Wall pointed to the player averaging 5.6 points in the five-game winning streak.

    “P.J. might not show up in the stat sheet, man, but all the stuff he does, communicating and taking that challenge, that’s a guy you want to have on your team,” Wall said. “Some people will look, ‘why is he getting all these minutes, he’s not scoring?’ It doesn’t matter. What he does for this team we need.

    “He has that veteran presence. He will take the challenge against anybody, battling in there, getting rebounds. Whether he gets five shots or zero shots, he’s still going to be that same guy. That’s what you appreciate about a guy like him.”

    Wall had been asked about the improvement of the Rockets defense. It has ranked second in the nine games since the roster-changing trade, first in the five-game winning streak.

    Tucker was an example of how that has happened. That he had five points on a night the Rockets scored 126 was irrelevant. Other guys will put up larger box score numbers. The Rockets have been winning lately because of many other things, including contributions that too often go unnoticed.

    Yep, he is another Shane Battier a glue guy - I am fine if he wants a glue guy contract - MLE ish....for a couple of years......but nothing more than that.....

    I suspect he will be traded to a contender - but - we really need a TALLER PF.

    Hopefully he’s traded and we can improve that spot in the offseason

    I have a hard time believing that a NBA player is content with playing starters minutes and having multiple games of 0 points... I mean damn, have you no pride?

    PJ doesn’t give a damn about this team or this season...once he’s with a contender or a team that is at least good, he’ll be more valuable

    PJ was already pissed heading into the season, and with this garbage team that gets blown out every night no matter how good or bad the opponent is, he truly gives no fcks

    PJ is only showing up so he doesn’t get fined, and that’s all he’s gonna give this team

    his heart is not in it...I remember him mentioning that the only guy that’s left is EG, and EG never talks

    Cant wait till PJ gets out of this dump. The whole team is trash and you look at PJ. That's fine man. You people never deserved in the first place.

    Its just business bros.
