Re: Pascal Siakam Back into the Nba Finals Celebration Party
Yesss Pascalion!!! The W rizz big sexxer master FLEXXER. Thank you brother and continue making us proud!!!
So this Finals is a win-win for Raptors fans in the GTA.
This is going to be the toughest play-off test for him since 2020 against the Celtics. The Chet Holmgren coverage could prove decisive! But I really want to see him succeed.

Re: Pascal Siakam Back into the Nba Finals Celebration Party
He was awesome in the ECF. Really happy for him. It's a shame we weren't able to find our own Hali to pair with him while he was here. If only Lowry was younger...

Re: Pascal Siakam Back into the Nba Finals Celebration Party
If the Pacers win, Pascal would be the 2nd option or co-star to a different superstar on a different championship team, how awesome would that be? I'm rooting for it. Haliburton will most likely in jail the whole series so Pascal needs to be great. It's going to be an up-hill battle but let's go Pascal!

The 2005-06 Suns will always have a special place in my heart

Re: Pascal Siakam Back into the Nba Finals Celebration Party
Amazing. Years ago , from his trainer , something like "next step ...MVP" .
As well as the Eastern Conference Finals MVP has played, I have yet to see him reach the level he had the last 2 months of that 48-win.
He has already performed in the NBA Finals, nothing to prove there.

Re: Pascal Siakam Back into the Nba Finals Celebration Party
Great job by Pascal....He is now in the perfect role to be himself and thrive.....really really weak East....Prolly the worst its been in years....The real test is going to be OKC....I predict a pretty bad beat down and OKC prolly wins in 5 but its prolly going to be like this for a while in the NBA where the West teams get cake walk Finals since the East is that bad....
If Siakam can get the Pacers past the OKC and win another title though....Thats where he will earn like legit real kudos for me...

I love this, lol. Just a couple weeks ago you were talking about how the Pacers were capitalizing on injured squads and now the East is the weakest it has been in years despite the champion being from the East last year.
Pascal doesn’t have to prove anything. His accomplishments speak for themselves.

I mean....They were beating up on injured squads that is not some revolution or some unknown thing.....You can legit go back to all their playoff series and go look at how many injuries the opposing teams had every playoff series from last year to this year they were apart of....It was also not some 6th man or rotation players being injured it was the opposing teams best or 2nd best players...I am not talking BS or making up some absurd lie there...Its just what was happening....
The East is in fact by all metrics and by all the teams overall talents in this years playoffs specifically have been the weakest its ever been historically...Again not telling a lie here...Just telling the truth...Pacers never beat the Celtics and the Celtics were injured this year....Also just because an East team wins the finals does not mean the conference isn't weak as a whole....
I get you maybe a big time Pacers fan here but you can be honest with yourself and you can at least admit the east is horrifically weak....That is why at the end of my sentence i said he will get legit major props from me if he beats this OKC team and wins the finals....That will by far be the most impressive feat in his career....Making it to the finals in the weakest eastern conference in some time isn't some amazing feat here....Its impressive sure but lets not act like OKC will not be the biggest test to them by a really wide margin here...
Again if Siakam beats OKC and wins the title that will get major kudos from me....Making it there does not impress me all that much considering the circumstances....Could impress you which is fine but ill be impressed if Pacers beat OKC....If they get blown out in 5 games ....Will you be impressed?

Really happy for Pascal! Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.
His success also just continues to make that Raptors championship team look better and better.
Also, this sets up a Finals where for the first time in a while, I kind of like both teams and will be happy with either outcome.

I don't think you can argue it was historically weak. Two 60 win teams with > 9 MOV. In most seasons you might get one total team with a MOV that high.
It doesn't mean the Pacers are strong, but they didn't have an easy road. OKC had an easy road to the Finals, and without Aaron Gordon's injury they might have choked again.

Cavs and Celtics were both flagged by injuries in this playoff run....I get injuries are part of the game but when your best or 2-3 legit starters for your team goes down theres not much you can do ....The East was by far a cake walk compared to the West this year....You saying OKC had an easier road is a lie....The Nuggets even with a Late series Gordon injury are a much bigger challenge than any team the Pacers faced....Jokic is the best player in the league here....Pacers have not faced a player/team on that level not even close tbh....
Pacers beat a Dameless Bucks team who had GTJR/Portis as their 2nd/3rd best players....a injured Cavs team who were missing players throughout the series....The Knicks win was a good one....But you can't over rate the Knicks either....
OKC will by far be the biggest test to the Pacers and i predict a 5 game easy series for OKC....If im wrong and Pacers win....Then all props to Pacers and Siakam....But i will wait till they do it before crowning Pacers as some great team...

Re: Pascal Siakam Back into the Nba Finals Celebration Party
I understand the Raptors wanted to rebuild, but they couldnt recreate a good team with Pascal and OG? Even keep Norm? Fred was gone, no one sane was giving him a max deal.
