PJ Tucker’s first year in Philadelphia has been a roller coaster. The city was on Tucker for the majority of the season for his lack of scoring and lackadaisical play during the regular season. PJ Tucker advocates always had the same argument, “just wait till the playoffs.” The advocates are right; the Sixers 38 year old Forward has been everything …
144-50 (.742). That is the Sixers’ record at Wells Fargo Center over the past five years. That is good for second-best in the NBA over that time span.
