PJ Tucker on James Harden and Russell Westbrook: They're familiar with each other'

But in their previous stint together with the Houston Rockets in 2019-20, the two were able to reach only the second round of the postseason before falling in five games to the Los Angeles Lakers in the Orlando, Florida, bubble. Westbrook was traded to the Washington Wizards after that. “I don’t know if that applies to this situation,” said Tucker, who was on that Houston team with Westbrook and Harden. “Russ and James [have known] each other for years, so they’re familiar with each other, playing with each other. I don’t know if it’s the same [experience this time], especially with Kawhi and PG. “I think this team is kind of a totally different type of dynamic [for them].”
