I kinda feel the same way. Pascal just wasn't playing defense and chucking for like a season and a half before he got traded. Him being back to 2nd banana on a team with a ton of shooting isn't as interesting as the Canadian MVP getting a chip.


Siakams numbers before he got traded were similar to the numbers he’s putting up in Indiana… only thing worse was his 3 point shooting, 32% but he had bad shooting seasons for the raptors in seasons prior when we were competing…

Someone made a good point on the general board. If we get into WW3 in the next few days this will be the last NBA game we'll see in a while.

Pascal needs to step up!!!

Similar numbers as the first option here as the 2nd in indy. Watching him in his final days here, all he cared about was chucking shots. Maybe giving 10 percent of the effort he's giving to indy on D. The amount of times someone drove to the hoop and he watched them do a layup in his face with no attempt to help is uncountable. His 3pter is up because he's staying in his lane, and the team around him has excellent spacing.

Every time OKC goes up or they win a game in the series people come out say it’s over. Maybe they lose, but Indiana is not out of this yet lol
