Siakam shutting down towns too. People said he can’t play defense right?

Turner being out early is going to ease the pressure on the Knicks D, though. Pacers are on fire from 3, will need to see if that continues.


Well plugs like Bryant are hitting 100% from 3. That answered that

Halliburton sure makes some nice passes. Even when he just casually tosses it to the side for an open Pascal for three it's still a nice looking pass. I'll give him that.

Pacers / OKC is going to be 6 games imo. Should be a decent series with record low ratings though lol
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.

Why low ratings? It’s a pretty fun matchup… pacers are underdogs and okc first potential championship. Actually first potential for both.

I think they said he "didn't" play defense. He showed on our Chip team he could.

Yeah he doesn't have to carry the load like he did with NN so he can save some energy for defence. Lots of Rap fans still living in the past. Pascal, OG and Fred all ended up in great situations. That has to say something about the way the franchise is run. It won't help with luring the mega stars but I'm sure it helps in general to have a good reputation among the players.

That would be great!

Knick fans are not gloating about OG's +/- like they once were.

Knicks defense has such low lows. Brunson can't contain, KAT is so mistake prone.

They have to force more midrange jumpers

Oh no pacers choking. They’re so prone to these chokes they can never put it away.

Pacers continually get the shots they want.

Return to Toronto Raptors
