Since P.J. Tucker's stint at center on Tuesday, a nickname for the Rockets 6-foot-6 forward has made the rounds at Toyota Center. He had not heard it, but did not object.

Tucker was labeled "The Tuck Wagon" in honor of former Rockets center Chuck Hayes, who at 6-6 was the shortest starting center in NBA history. Hayes is back with the team as a pro personnel scout.

"That's my guy," Tucker said with a laugh. "That's OK. Tuck Wagon. That's funny."
