It's Pascal versus Gary in a huge battle in the playoffs.....we have had top tier talent and all this board wanted was lottery balls, so sad.

I kept hearing in here by the fools that siakam wasn't even a 2nd option type player.

Is that a thing? Who never gave us credit on this board? That team was stacked. I think we win even if KD is healthy.
Yeah lots of people on the General board. You should've read the Buck's board when they were up 2-0 in the series. They were sooooooooooo cocky

I remember this.

They can't help themselves, always underrate our players. Always ready to sell them out for a few more lottery balls.

Pascal Siakam HOF when it's all said and done

It's all just a function of the Barnes cult that spammed the board for a couple years. It's not limited to realgm. The barnes cult were harassing members of media on social media too.

Pascal in Indiana has been a success. Fred in Houston has been a success. Barnes taking the reins in toronto has been a failure. I guess nurse in philly has been a failure too but I don't think you can hold nurse accountable for that.

I could see Pascal get to HOF but he'll need to have some more success before he locks it up. He's such a good teammate and always has a good attitude too.

Some posters are just dramatic....But the ones that wanted him traded didn't hate him as a player it was mostly due to the team being capped at a certain level with him as your main guy....Even if Pacers beat the Bucks do anyone think they will make a push to the finals? Prolly not....Good player but if Siakam is your number 1 with very limited depth your not winning much....

Siakam with another all star like Hailiburton and a very deep roster....a little better but still not championship material.

Love Siakam but he would never have succeeded in Toronto post Kawhi and it was bound for a breakup.

Nah. It was the same guys saying he wasn't even a capable #2. Stop this. We were all there.

I mean, this little gem is out there:

Nurse was always an overrated coach. Always hated him, hated how he allowed bet on yourself culture to permeate throughout our organization.

Gary sucks. He sucked the entire season. He contributes nothing if his shot is off. He had one good playoff game.

Most people here had no issues with Pascal except that he wasn't a #1 option and we couldn't find a superstar to play next to him. There was no point in paying him the max at that point. We were rebuilding and he didn't fit in the timeline.

He already proved that he was a perfect #2 option on our championship team. There's nothing to debate.

Agreed. He was the enabler.

Because he knew he was moving on so didn't care. So glad THAT culture is finally gone.

I absolutely hated the Pascal/Fred ISO fest at the end of every game.

That was horrible basketball.

We all could have agreed on that. But it was taken too far with "#3 option" nonsense as if we didn't watch him have success as a #2 option already when he wasn't even a good a player as he is now.

That point was debated against too. Now they're silent and watching him succeed in his ideal role.

Noone thought he was a true #1.

Those were the days. Such crazy times on this forum. The pecking order and not wanting to give the keys to Scottie ended up being correct.
