I didn't say he's a bad defender, I said that he isn't very good one. Tell me, how you rank Siakam's D? You obviously don't have a clue about his defensive stats and you're not watching him playing enough to make any kind of argument about his D. I don't watch him either, but I at least know his defensive stats and base my opinion on them. Defensive stats are very tricky, so I can be wrong, but I'm basing my opinion on something. What about you?
I watch 10-15 raptors games a year every year. He’s a good defender.
You don’t have to tell us you’re a box score watcher who knows nothing. We already knew that.
Did I write anything about you? Those personal attacks are just totally misplaced. It's normal to have different opinions in the forum. It should be normal to have normal discussion too.
If you look at Siakam's defensive stats in Nba.com, you will see that he's nothing special. If you look at his defensive raptor you will see the same and strangely enough you will see the same story in basketball-reference.com. Like I said, defensive stats are not always reliable, but the best defenders have normally pretty good defensive stats. Maybe he didn't care about playing D in Toronto, but he for sure wasn't wasn't very good in last few years.
I still didn't hear a single argument backing your claim about him being very good defender. Maybe you should put some arguments here instead of just making personal attacks on me. Thanks.
Pointing out that you’re completely incorrect isn’t a personal attack. Neither is calling you a box score watcher as you’re admitting that you don’t actually know what you’re talking about and are just looking up box scores.
In the last 3 months your 3 most prominent arguments are 1. Dereck Lively has 0 NBA skills, 2. Injuries aren’t real, and now 3. Siakam, a pretty good and versatile defender is bad because, *checks notes* Bob8 looked up a number on the internet and says it’s not good enough. You do realize OG Anunoby, a top 3 perimeter defender in the league, has a defensive rating that is only 1.2 points better than Siakam right? So no the numbers you look up don’t matter.
Before you just start spouting incorrect things on the internet and then crying when that gets called out you should try actually watching.
Is really necessary to go with full aggression in every post?
