When we signed him, I originally thought that he'd be good in the regular season, but his true value would really show up in the playoffs. So far that has come to pass.
Tucker is incredibly important. I think hes better defensively than Pat. He typically gets the best of whoever he guards 1-5. Pretty incredible piece to have defensively.
He's a lot better since improving that corner 3 that he hits relatively consistently. If he's hitting 2-3 each game, he's doing enough. I noticed lately he's been driving to the rim and doing a running hook which seems to work well for him because other teams don't expect it. He can improve next year by working on his passing and court vision.
I wonder if PJ Tucker regret not staying in Canada now. The reports were he took a discount to sign with Houston, too, if I remember correctly.
I’m still pissed off at game 6. I feel Toronto got lucky with this one. But winning a chip is a lot about luck. I’d rather beat warriors at full strength and win the chip. We’re better than Portland and Toronto
He didn't take a discount, he went to a state with zero income tax....he was good here. But he is old now, and irrelevant for where Houston is as a team. Let him spend his last couple of maybe productive years in Milwaukee. DD
Why are we talking about Me J Sucker? I'm glad Paul is about to send him fishing. There's a seat right next to Hardhead.
Agreed, he eliminated the entire 2018 Rockets starting lineup. First Round - Ariza 2nd Round - Harden 3rd Round - Capella Finals - CP3 PJ was the 5th starter that year. DD
Happy for the Tuck-wagon! Really sad that we only got a 7 spot draft slot (24-31) improvement for him in the trade and that Giannis got a ring out of it as well. I'm sure the Bucks consider it a steal!
Tuck wagon gets his ring. So proud Giannis actually not running to a super team. Mad props to him too.
Extremely happy for Tuck, he worked so hard for years and proved himself overseas to work his way back into the league. Great leader, always gives 100% effort, majors in the dirty work, excellent fundamentals, exceptional defensive anticipation. An all-round frustrating player to play against, and when he's on your side, a loyal, motivating guy to go to war with. Too bad he wasn't in a Rox uni when he got to hoist the trophy. Congrats PJ!
Just think if Tillman wanted to pay to keep that team together and add instead of subtracting. F the Fertitta family.
