Look at this ****, he's been doing this since last season too, pretty rough
I don't understand the hate. I really don't. His positioning on most of these plays is correct, it's just a lack of effort that's visible.
Why the lack off effort? Well let me see... maybe because he's coming back from a major injury/surgery and it's only his 5th game after a 6 month layoff? He's literally in pre-season mode right now, while the rest of the guys he's playing around/against have their legs under them and this is literally the point of the season where players are the "freshest"/healthiest. The guys that have been playing since training camp/preseason have their conditioning in check, Siakam who missed all of that obviously doesn't and it'll take him some time.
People love to hate this dude for no reason...
He was fine the first 4 games, had 2 consecutive good games before last night, but 1 bad performance and people jump on his ass like he's the sole reason we lost last night? Ha.
Been said over and over again... the praise for Siakam is never as loud as the slander.
"Hate" thats a big lol
"1 bad performance" - another lol
come one man, how can you type these things with a straight face.
good positioning? man are you ever out to lunch - hes slow to rotate, doesnt box out at all, look at the 11 second mark, he does a 360 to look around in place, doesnt put a body on anyone, ball actually bounces towards him and he still doesnt get the ball, then at the 14 second mark, he doesnt step up on the ball, doesnt recognize the shooter in the play is open, and actually steps away from the ball leaving Scottie to mark 2 people
at thee 22 second mark he gives no help and isnt on the shooter, literally a pilon
at the 35 second mark, he switches onto mitchell and does nothing to hound him, literally just backs up with arms down and gives up an easy shot
at 46 - ok fine, we can say joe ingles got away with a push --- or we can confirm once again how soft siakam is that joe ingles can bully him in the paint..
at 53 he is literally guarding NO ONE
'
at 1 minute mark, again guarding no one, when his job is to be close to the big, because you know, literally no one is on his side of the court with the big man
1:13 mark - ok he did his job to clog the lane - 2 arms legnths away from anyone ... very useful
