If you combine Tatum and Siakam's totals you get 62 points.

How many points did Curry score last game? ... 62

OP and the thread title magic delivered.



Edit special sauce:

Or if you combine Tatum and Pritchards total you get 63 points on 59%... both one better than Curry's 62 points on 58%.

One better in each stat (FG% and Points) for a total of two stats, one more player than Curry for a total of two players.

This is the second thread of this time. Everything is one more.

Including this now 2 different ways this thread magic worked tonight.

All of my Siakam trolling aside hed still be an awesome 2b like with Lowry on their title run or 3rd option for almost any title team

Hes just not capable as a 1st option. He started basketball late and you can tell. His skill level in the halfcourt is bad

Jayson and Jaylen are both years younger but galaxies more skilled. Pascals skill level offensively is like 2018 Jaylen Brown.........almost exclusively a transition threat with some 3s mixed in

that spin move isnt working for him anymore its too predictable

I think his MVP crusade will have to wait until tomorrow against the Suns.

Kept my word for 4 years didn't make a single post. But I was right about Pascal, not mvp but he found his way back being a top player.

Not all of us are unreasonable. That being said, I stopped being a die hard raptor fan decades ago.

I mean, Pascal's struggling some because Haliburton is out and his usual proportion of assisted baskets is down. We were talking about this on the Raps forum. It's a HUGE change compared to when he plays alongside a primary perimeter creator, and it's impacting his percentages a lot. He's extremely good at working off guard initiation. And he's better from 3 when he's able to get assisted buckets in the corner.

So this is what happens when you take a guy who isn't a real focal #1 and ask him to do that, right?

I don't think any of what's happening is a knock on Pascal. You can't remove someone as critical to a team's offense as Haliburton and not expect there to be fallout. And we know what Pascal's strengths and weaknesses are at this stage. He's in his 10th season. He was first named an All-Star in 2020, so we've been exposed to him in a volume role for a good while now, and we've seen what works well and what doesn't.
