PJ Tucker has taken a lesser role in the offense since the Covington trade and that was to be expected. His job is to hit open 3’s and defend both the post and perimeter.

Tucker clearly hasn’t cared much the last 3 games of the bubble. It makes sense as the Rockets have been locked into their seeding and Tucker has gone through the motions (as did the entire roster tonight).

Tucker needs to start and he will... and he and Covington will get open 3’s and only need to hit 33% to be effective.... both are elite defenders and have to be on the floor.

What the Rockets need are guys that are more one dimensional like McLemore, House and Gordon to hit volume 3’s.

Nah, they actively tried to win against San Antonio and Indy.

Harden even went against MDA's minute restrictions.

Just bad outings.

PJ is human and 35 after all.

He'll bounce back but I do not expect him to be shooting lights out every game.

PJ also has a hand/wrist problem dealing all year.

Without Westbrook you need multiple playmakers on the floor to have a chance against OKC. P.J. is too limited offensively that OKC can comfortably put Adams on P.J.

Green is a much better pick and roll option for Harden because he is a much better finisher, shooter and they would be more hesitant about doubling Harden.

And if you think this Sixers game is awful, OKC will be 10 times worse. Schroeder is gonna blow by whoever defends him, Gallo is gonna shoot over our guys with his height advantage and Adams is gonna dominate the paint.
