Is that preventing him from shooting? What’s the point of him playing like this. It’s obvious he has no burst

I like Siakim as a 3rd option. His game is weird for a 2nd.

Though if he had a 1st option who was actually a superstar level player, it might work.


I think what is weird is how you think Siakam is a 3rd option when he already won a title as the second option despite being a raw offensive player.


I think he's better suited as a third option. Like Chauncey Billups won a title as a first option but if I said different, you wouldn't have any smoke for me. Technically he's "proven" he can do it, but its not his best role. Thats how I see Siakim.

Taking only 5 shots in a game you’re been down from the very start is insane for an all star. I thought Hali had some good games prior to the playoffs? If not and if he’s been looking like this for awhile then yeah pacers have no shot in this series.

I don't know what this means. Is he plotting on somebody's mom?

Nah I'm guessing maybe West is a health trainer for Indy or something?

Man, not having Zion for this OKC series is a punishment from the gods. He would have broken every bone in Chet's body. Straight jellyfish mode.

Nice game for Siakam though, hopefully the other guys come to play for Game 2


He's not playing anytime soon.

God. Worst case scenario possible. Doc wins this first round series without Giannis, then Giannis comes back 100% and he and Dame steamroll to the ECF. Tatum gets injured or something and suddenly they're in the finals after all that ish talking everyone did about Doc.

Can't get ahead of myself. One game at a time.

Man I'm not trying to see Delonte homeless and tweaking. He already low key looked like it when he was playing.

Lillard not scoring in the 2nd half would not have been something I put money on.
