    As impressive as forward P.J. Tucker’s play was throughout the Western Conference Finals and in the Rockets Game 7 loss, it took even greater toughness than was displayed on the floor.

    Tucker played Game 7, Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni revealed, hours after undergoing three root canal procedures. While playing through pain, despite the pain medication, Tucker did not tell his teammates that he went directly to a dentist after the Rockets flight from San Francisco landed on Sunday or that he had played Game 6 with several cracked teeth.

    I hope PJ Tucker retires a Rocket.

    PJ is a lion. He is our hero. I too hope that he will retire as a Houston Rocket.

    Tucker definitely cemented his reputation with his play in the WCF.
