Siakam is the best kept secret that casual fans fail to acknowledge.

Yep, that's what we call a star.

if they're gonna leave him in single coverage all series he's gonna be finals MVP.

I feel like this is the part in Bloodsport when the bad guy throws the dirty shot.

Anyone who hasn't witnessed the magic of spicy P got a heckuva show tonight. Just cooking in transition and 1-on-1 down low making Draymond look silly. 32/8/5/2/1 on only 17 shots.

We got a lot more basketball to play but man this is a fun matchup.

He's gonna get a max next year.

G-league Finals MVP stepping it up already. It helps when you have two Finals MVP on your team. :wink:

Another thing is that the Warriors really don't have a good shot blocker and rim protector, which the Bucks, Sixers, and even the Magic did, that's gonna benefit Siakam.

He needs to turn on the heat and cook that donkey known as Draymond Green well done for 3 more games.

Siakam is elite at exploiting mismatches. When he senses he has an advantage over an individual defender, he'll keep attacking with the same series of moves until the defense proves it can stop him. The Sixers and Bucks did just that, which was why he was relatively quiet during those two series. Warriors did not do that tonight, and they will need to make an adjustment. Siakam simply doesn't stop attacking.

On one hand his breakout season might make Kawhi think twice before leaving but on the other I wish his breakout season would have occurred next year instead of this season since he would have had arguably the most valuable contract in the coming seasons. We could have essentially 2 max slots with Kawhi, Ibaka, Gasol, Lowry, FVV, Green all off the books with Siakam already locked up for peanuts .

Bruh. Yikes.

He'll struggle with KD on him, which will also keep KD busy on D.

KD coming back, no way he won't with them down a game. There ain't any more "it" to save for.

Not if there's a chance to actually tear his Achilles

Dominant. Him and Kawhi are a lethal two-way punch.

Highly rate him.

Has Ujiri won executive of the year yet?

I've been a big Siakam believer this year, he's able to get in there and ball against guys like Giannis and Embiid. He's athletic, long, great shooting touch, unselfish. Kawhi would be a dummy to leave this guy, he's the #2 every superstar is looking for.

So, with the success of Embiid and Siakam how much longer before scouts are setting up shop in Cameroon.

TheProfessor · Post #239 » by **TheProfessor** » Fri May 31, 2019 7:02 am

Imagine if Siakam was allowed to play the 5....Siakam is going for 50.

Has KD had a series where he has faced a lot of stress on the defensive end? How did it affect his offence? Siakam struggled against Embiid and Giannis but both of their stats dipped to (and I don't think it's directly a result of expending themselves on the defensive end but because of the Raptors defensive scheme)
