Thibs is gone as coach after this season. A team this talented should be way better.
2019 Eastern Conference All Stars

Derozan
Lowry
Ibaka
Valanciunas
Van Vleet
Delon Wright
Lebron
Embiid

There are only 2 teams in the league that rank in the top 6 in offensive and defensive efficiency: the Golden State Warriors and the Toronto Raptors.

I mean he missed a FT that allowed Pacers to go to OT, got blocked by Pascal in clutch, then he had a critical TO in OT when he threw a bad pass. His box score also was not great.

Now he's getting dominated by Pascal again in G2. When Pascal is on him he doesn't even look at the basket.


He's getting switched off him on a lot of these buckets from Siakam or just not on the floor at all


Just talking about when they are matched up. Not blaming OG for Siakams night.

Why do they always spread misinformation on national TV?

They just showed a graphic claiming this is Siakam’s first 30 point playoff game of his career. lol

How disrespectful.

Towns continuing to play horrible team defense.

He was responsible for 3 or 4 of the last 5 buckets during this run.

I mean...if this team can't get to another level in the playoffs...they are pretty well screwed for the next few years after trading away all their future picks. If this is the start of the treadmill...lololol

TJ is such a cool option coming off the bench. You can give him like 5 to 10 possessions per game while Haliburton is resting or sitting. He always creates something out of nothing. Reminds me of Jamal Crawford role even tho they are very different players.

Yah that was one of them lol. Dude looks lost.

There were 2 other brutal ones too and then a couple that were a little subjective.

Actually feels like he ruins their chemistry in terms of personality too. Like might even be an addition by subtraction thing if he sat.

There are legitimate reasons to sit both KAT and Brunson together for large stretches of the game. The Pacers do not play enough defense where a Deuce Mitch lineup couldn't still put up points against this team

I would love to see Gradey Dick in this Pacers offense.

Return to Toronto Raptors
