Crazy that someone who can drop 60 in a game can be this useless and a liability in a game that actually matters........

I'm a huge Siakam fan but I bet you Toronto would him for KAT in a second. KAT next to Barnes and OG would be pretty nice and he shores up a lot of Toronto's offensive weaknesses.


I don’t think Masai would. Pascal is literally perfect for what they are trying to do.


As a die hard Raps fan...I don't think I'd do that trade straight up. Siakam is too good a defender in today's age to give up. Siakam has made strides this season.

The stupidest NBA thing is saving your challenges for late in the game. You should use your challenge for the highest point differential call. If it comes in the first use it in the first.

The myth you need to save it for end of games is so dumb rooted in the myth of the 4th Q. If LA wins this game it will be probably because of their dominant 1st Q/3rd Q.

You're talking like most things aren't going their way already :lol:

Even if Towns is soft as tissue paper, TWolves are getting killed by the refs.

Purely stats wise, Wolves 19 fouls, 19 FTA, Clippers 17 fouls, 22 FTA, Clippers aren't getting any enough of an advantage from fouls or FT's for them missing their FT's to be glossed over. It's a two point game, so they are lucky the Wolves are also missing FT's, yes.



That's such a misconception we see so often.

It's obvious to literally everybody that the Clippers are playing a more physical game. That's not a bad thing. It's smart. And they're GREAT at it.

But it means they are going to get called for SOME fouls.

Maybe but we also only like players who are good defenders. Doubt Masai would pull the trigger for a player that’s this soft


If I'm Minny I'm taking that deal tbh.
Siakam more versatile and his game is more scalable to the playoffs imo.

Ok… am iso with Reid tells you all you need to know about how the game is going for the wolves…. And that is actually a good option compared to towns playing.

Wolves are really just beating themselves at this point with FTs.
