    Tucker looking real old. Those shoes he's wearing are for young people. Looks like his feet hurt. Get some sensible, comfortable shoes, Tuck. It's time, brother.

    He will not get much of any contract playing here, he no longer fits, the stand in the corner and do the one thing he is good at is not needed this year, and his D is in decline.

    8M expiring contract - maybe package him and another player to bring in a true PF.

    This team can't keep marching PJ out there as a starter.

    LOL he's still our best defender, better than Woods and is our best corner 3 point shooter. Stop peddling out false narratives, its not like Tate or Nwaba(both of whom kill spacing) were offensive Dynamos tonight.

    He’s one of our best 3 pt shooters when he shoots! Dude is taking 1 or 2 shots per game. Killing us

    No agreed, but they are on Vet minimum deals - and we can't afford to play 3 on 5......which is what we were doing at the start with PJ and NWaba - we can play 1, but not 2.

    PJ's 8m + Gordon's 17m could net us a star player. Or House's contract....

    the past 2 games -- stepped out of bounds, traveled, couldn't catch the ball outta bounds off his leg, didn't take the open 3 instead making an awkward unspaced pass to sterling brown so he could launch a brick

    tucker has THE EASIEST job on offense of any player in the entire league. all he has to do is park in the corner and be ready to shoot WIDE OPEN 3's. and he cannot even manage to get those shots up smh

    meanwhile tate has been far more active on both ends of the floor and even defended donbitch much better tonite

    PJ is a floor spacer, you are never playing like that with him on the floor you have to guard him in the corner.

    You should just trade House then. We need both of those other two guys. They are proven playoff performers.

    Start Boogie at PF Wood at C, and you have 2 floor spacers who can also rebound the ball......

    Then you can start Harden, Wall and Tate/House/Nwaba/Brown whatever works best.

    I know you think those guys can shoot...but they really cant. At least not enough for the defense to really respect them. Neither of them are that good at shooting and if they were we would be playing that lineup all the time.

    He's one of the reasons we won the 2 games we did. Did you just check the boxscores after the game?

    he's a valuable player. he's just maybe more of a 22 minute bench player than a 35 minute starter at his age.

    This team continues to have the same problems year after year. We always fall short of incorporating the missing pieces of the team and we repeat the same excuses over and over again. "It's just a bad game." We explode in euphoria when we win a game and we see everything wrong when we lose. The reality is that this team is not a bad team, but it is only a first-round playoff team, hopefully. Stop fooling yourself over and over again.
