The Western Conference in the 2023-24 NBA season has been as competitive as it gets.
There are genuinely multiple teams that have a chance to dominate the Western Conference in the 2024 playoffs.
Speaking of which, the Los Angeles Clippers are undoubtedly among those teams that can reach the 2024 NBA Finals.
While the Clippers have several excellent players who have the talent to take over the team on any given night, fans cannot underestimate the value of quality role players.
Keeping that in mind, head coach Tyronn Lue recently heaped huge praise on P.J. Tucker, via Joey Linn on Twitter.
“We like PJ here. He’ll get an opportunity,” Lue said.

The Clippers have an excellent roster this season.
Evidently, they have some players who are not getting enough opportunities during the regular season.
Tucker is undoubtedly one such player who has been underused by the Clippers this season.
He has played just 15 games on the season while averaging 1.3 points, 2.9 rebounds, and 0.5 assists per game.
After all, he is 38 years old and is no longer a go-to guy.
Despite that, Lue claimed that everyone on the team likes Tucker, and he will certainly get an opportunity for the Clippers.
Whether that becomes a reality remains to be seen.
