Siakam is winning MVP if pacers win the next game

I'm so mad at Carlisle. All he had to do was play TJ instead of Hali last game when TJ was red hot and pacers would've been champs tonight. Hali was awful all game.

But “you can’t build around Siakam”

Plus he was holding back our "franchise" player

Imagine someone telling you 3 years ago that TJ would be the best player in an elimination game and that Obi Toppin would be the leading scorer in that said game.

Be careful what you wish for.

I have a feeling this board will go off if Pacers wins, especially if Siakam wins FMVP.

The "Treadmill Pacers" winning the Chip would be the most entertaining outcome for this board.

Not sure if Masai will ever live down thinking Siakam wasn't worth the max lol.

The commentators mentioned how both Pacers and OKC were only 25 and 24 win teams 3 years ago....goes to show how quickly things can turn around.

They had 4 years to prove it to us! Best we got was a play in L and a first round exit.

If there was a way to have an all nba PG, historic depth and a max player while still being under the luxury tax, I would of loved for you to show Masai the way to get there. :lol:

I will never shut up about us trading pascal for w.e the **** we got. Held onto him then traded when value was at its lowest now he is 1 game away from FMVP.

Pacers were a +8000 to win the championship before the playoffs started lol let's be real nobody gave them a chance in hell of winning it all.

His value wasn’t going to get better. The league just didn’t value him.

Maxing him on a mediocre team wasn’t going to do anything for his value.
