Daily News | P.J. Tucker cares more about the Sixers’ level of focus than their playoff seeding
The power forward just wants his team to win and advance to the next game. He also hopes that “everyone continues to hit on all cylinders.”
Tucker played last season for the Miami Heat, who were the East’s top seed. However, they lost to the Celtics in the conference finals. Two seasons ago, the Sixers were the top seed and lost in the second round. Meanwhile, Tucker was a member of the third-place Milwaukee Bucks, who went on to win the NBA title.
“They don’t give a [expletive],” Tucker said. “They’re like, ‘We’re going to lose and be locked in.’ They’re like ‘we can get healthy and we’re here,’ they feel like they can win. That, to me, is huge.”His role in Philly is different from the space he occupied with the Heat or in previous stops with the Bucks and Houston Rockets.He’s had to learn to play alongside Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, and Tobias Harris among others.He continues to deal nerve damage, a left calf ailment, and back spasms.
