Bro....the only thing gonna stop him is if he simply stops caring. And it actually seems like a distinct possibility lol

I could honestly see after 2 or maybe 3 chips....he just retires.

Jokic pulls up for 3 with 5 seconds left. Sinks it. Acts like he just converted a free throw lol

We have more wins without siakam than he does without us

Brooklyn home game the crowd going crazy for Knicks comeback. Amazing, it's more pronounced than a Lakers Clippers game.

OG is a monster

I see Precious closed the game in crunch time. That's ... different.

I was always a believer in Precious. I thought he would take over from OG as a defensive 3-4 when OG was traded. It was a gut punch when they both went together. In the last three weeks, Raptors have traded three rotation forwards with only guards and picks coming back. It hurts us - maybe intentionally.

Potential wrote:Indy should be using Siakam in the mid range and let him cook there instead of having him isoing around the perimeter and trying to attack a taller Jokic in the paint. Btw how was there a whole game thread about Siakam's first game and now there's only 4 posts for his game today? Lol

Indiana is pretty boring to watch lol. Also Siakam was always someone you had to adjust your offense to fit into, which is why OG had more value.

Scizzup wrote:OG defense really drops of when he is playing off ball players. This is where Caruso differs from him imo, Caruso is a beast off ball.

Caruso also simply just gets away with ton of fouls. OG plays a solid game without fouling like that.

Another 16 and 10 game for Siakam. We dodged a bullet, at no point should we have offered him a supermax. That would cripple a franchise

Yeah Precious had some typical Precious flubs but also 8 big boards and an important dunk off Randle feed. 8, 8 and 2 assists, not bad.

From the boxscore OKC seems to be running a tight 13 man rotation in a tight game against the Blazers.

He always had his moments. The issue with him is he's lazy at times and at other times forgets who he is. He's got a coach who will hold him accountable so he can't do that there. Thibodeau could save his career.

OG is a monster

Since Tampa I have been telling people OG is worth more than Siakam and everyone clowned me.

Also I wish OG went to OKC - they would be 100% my fav team, and OG would fit perfectly there

PG SGA
SG Jalen Williams
SF OG
PF Chet
C any warm body - as they go small in crunch time with Chet at C and another 3&D like Isiah on the court
