PJ played a hell of a game! Excellent defender with true toughness. I think playing in our offense will make him a much better 3pt shooter. Really excited about him in Luc with Ariza.
Evidently, Tucker posted a game-high +20 in 29 minutes of action. This dude was a critical signing! Rockets are gonna be counting on him every night.
I have always had a man crush on this Mandingo, and now it's full blown since he is a Houston Rocket. Big dick Nene, Tuckwagon 69 and Luc Rich Sexy Sex Man...
IMO, one of his best play of many is his hard, non-flagrant foul on Durant. I apologize to PJ for wanting Melo instead of a true beast.
After Durant shot... Marv: "it will count!" Webber: "the season has officially started... Spoiler: Chris about to say like and the Warriors are already showing who's the best bla bla ...wait a minute...", and when they realize Rockets won -> "IT'S NOT OVER!" ROFL
Oh, hell, that's nothing. The ESPN writeup on the game talked 73.27% about the Warriors. I'm semi-stunned you even knew they played / lost to the Rockets. Maybe I'm wrong. For some reason I can't copy and paste the text from here, so... http://www.espn.com/blog/golden-sta...warriors-squander-huge-lead-in-opening-defeat
Yeah, "Rockets" not even mentioned in the title lol, you can be damn sure if they would've lost to the Cavs or Spurs, Celtics...you would've read that team in the title. And tbh, i really hate to act like a victim, but it's really like ESPN works against the Rockets as much as they can.
"Tucker, meanwhile, can do it all. During 2016-17, Tucker produced an effective field goal percentage of 64.3 percent on spot-up opportunities, creating 1.18 points per play, good enough to place him in the top 11 percent of the NBA, while hitting 19 of 35 unguarded catch-and-shoot attempts, scoring 1.63 points per shot, placing him in the top 3 percent of the league. He has gone 4 for 4 on these opportunities in the preseason."
His cold blodded threes, the way he manhandled Livingston for the offensive reb, got fouled, then hit the winning free throws... Keep it up, Thiccness!
