Why does Siakam insist on starting his offense at the 3pt line at times?

Siakam wasn't good enough, and neither were Toppin or Mathurin off the bench.

Pacers have too many bums playing rotation minutes, Bradley/Bryant, mathurin, toppin, Shepard. Carlisle got the most out of this lineup, no one expected them to be here

To be fair, the only commercial that really made me want buy a car was this Chrysler commercial “Made in Detroit”, and I was never a fan of Chrysler.

Commercials have more of a negative effect nowadays

He played a lot of PF on defense for the Bulls but he never got away with stuff like this.

In a Bulls jersey he would have fouled out at the half against Jokic. The man is an incredible defender with some of the best defensive hands you will see but the amount of bumping and holding and swiping they allow him to play with is crazy.

It's sometimes comical with Caruso and other good perimeter defenders. They either look like incompetent fools just taking dumb fouls or they are top tier defenders when they play defense like this.

Lol the overreaction.
You do realize this is game 7 of the nba finals? Obi toppin must have done something right for the team to get this far

2 times in 10 secs Siakam gets his wrist held

The whole OKC team would foul out if they the umps just watch Siakam

Brutal how is that even fair?

I recall him getting away with plenty though that was against the Raptors

He's always been physical but that series against Jokic was on another level.

A 10 minute stretch with no one other than TJ scoring.
