(Tim Warner/Getty Images)No one would have blamed you if you penciled the Golden State Warriors into the NBA Finals at the beginning of the season. This year, however, they are in a dogfight in the second round with the Houston Rockets, a team General Manager Daryl Morey has, for years, built with one goal in mind: to topple the defending champs. When Tucker is on the bench, Houston is outscored by 16.3 net points per 100 possessions, a huge disparity for one player. Tucker, meanwhile, helps the Rockets outscore opponents by 29 points per 100 possessions with Harden on the bench.
