Nembhard just looks so mediocre during the season but elevates his game in the playoffs.

Pascal continues to silence his haters.

I was sad when we moved on from Pascal just because he was nearing 30.

Yeah, they didn’t put the right pieces around him. I understand being patient with Scottie but I think deep down we knew the likelihood of Scottie developing into the player we wanted was very unlikely.

Pascal, OG and Fred were going to be costly and we needed to move on. Glad they are doing well.

Watching Barnes move around the court looking like he has two knee replacements makes me appreciate the fluidity of Siakam even more. So smooth, love watching him ball.

Front office did him dirty and the fan base didn’t appreciate him enough.

We had to move on from them because we couldn't beat Chicago with what, 130M future dollars? Pascal is great, love him, not a #1. He wanted to be #1 here and he just... wasn't. I'm super happy for all three, but that was that.

So we downgraded, and we're supposed to believe that was a good plan? He was having the best scoring season of his career. That was kind of daft.

Some may have said he was holding Scottie back. But we had three big wings with 2 of them looking to take half our cap and we were, at best, a play-in team. One or both of them had to go. You coulda chosen to build around Siakam, but that would have to start after the bubble, and, with how he played, it wouldve been a tough decision to make

So you're admitting it was Fred's fault huh?

Just kidding

Aaron Gordon guarding Kawhi in the first round, shades of 2019.

This series is looking like some high level basketball
