P.J. Tucker has emphasized the “little details” and not tolerated sloppiness from the Sixers. That’s been the case in practices, too. NoahLevick of NBCSPhilly has the story:
“He was great," Rivers said. “There was a timeout … at the end of the third, I think we gave up a 2-for-1 and then a three or a quick drive. And in the timeout, I stopped talking because P.J. was talking so loud that I just let him take the timeout. He was phenomenal.”
“In the timeouts: ‘Hey, hey, hey … here we go. Come on. Get back on the horse. Let’s do this. Execute. Talk. Communicate better. Be physical. Box out.’ It’s the little stuff that gets you going,” Tucker said. “We struggled early, but offensive rebounds, kick-out threes — we started to get a couple going, get Tyrese downhill. … We know what we’ve got to do. It’s not rocket science.”
“Did you see him in Game 3 when he was, like, tackling people? I was on the bench and I was thinking, ‘Damn, that’s what he was doing to me a year ago. I’m so glad that he’s on our side,’” Niang said. “So I think that’s huge. You have a guy that gets you extra possessions, brings toughness, isn’t afraid to tell people the truth — and you need that.
