Having played with and against Paul since childhood, a relationship that was discussed often in the two seasons Paul was with the Rockets, Tucker said he expected Paul’s best. “It’ll be fun,” Tucker said. “This is interesting. After the trade last year, knowing him, he wants this bad. I know how bad he wants this. “I know he’s on the other side telling guys what guys are going to do, kind of trying to give our game plan I know how competitive he is. It’s going to be an interesting series. It’s going to be fun. I’m looking forward to it, for sure.”
