Hey Skip forking Bayless, try to watch the game and not the box score you idiot. without Tucker, the Rox will lost this game probably in double digit in the 4th Q.
I watched the entire game. He got a couple of key plays in the 4th, but was a complete non-factor until then.
He's an absolute zero offensively, but he did have some good plays defensively....would be a LOT better as a bench guy getting about half as many minutes.
Yes, he has active hands and good positioning, anchors the defense, etc., and we had many other scoring options. Still, it's unusual that someone who plays 32 minutes does not attempt a single shot. It's fine to be mostly a defensive specialist - but does it really warrant a huge multi-year contract at age 36?
You're being disingenuous. Tucker is still a threat from 3 and you have to stay glued to him. We've got multiple passers on this team who can find him for corner threes. He has a defender guarding him on every possession. We all know he's not a versatile offensive player but he's still a knockdown shooter, so at worst it's a 4 on 4.
If you're basing this off what Silas might say in an interview, Slim knows better than to throw a player under the bus. I doubt reporters would even phrase the question like "ayy yo Tuckwagon was trash tonight offensively. Tell us more about how he sucks, Slim!"
Watch the interview first before you make such silly post. Silas praised Tucker and Harden to start the press, in fact, he mentioned Tucker more than once. There is a reason that he stuck with him in the forth, because he is not dumb and only read box scores.
We need Tucker defensively and if you think he has no offense just leave him open in the corner. He helps spread the floor. Not sure what contract he is worth but if it means keeping Harden you do it.
Agreed, of course...as I have stated before. If Harden signs an extension because you give one to Tucker, then you do it. But if Harden really wants to win, does he really want to tie up that money in a declining asset?
