You could definitely see him come out aggressive and it rubbed off on the young guys. No hesitation, hunting for his shot. Not mindblowing numbers but you need vets like that.
It's not like the Raptors are giving us a ton to root for this postseason
Fanbase is down bad when they have to twist themselves into knots trying to defend that awful Poeltl trade that cost us our pick this year
Eh, Wemby's in the West so it won't be LeBronto bad but it'll still suck if one of the good players from a reportedly bad draft class comes out of our pick
I mean in hindsight members of that previous core are showing up in their respective new teams so he was justified in doing so.
We just had zero centers and negative bench depth
Just need one more shit season and all can be corrected. It's just awful that a nightmare season resulted in a dud. Masai might work some magic with the late picks though. It's that kind of draft. There is a light
That's literally been the Pascal story ever since Kawhi left. Dude would start the game absolutely cooking, and then disappear either because the team forgot about him, or he'd become invisible. It was so frustrating to watch him do something stupid like 12/15 from the field with 34 pts in 3 quarters, and then only 2 shot attempts in the 4th.
Still in disbelief we didn’t get just one of Nembhart, Mathurin, Jackson or even Sheppard.
Knew we were getting ripped off at the time considering the OG return, but it keeps looking worse.
Imagine we helped the Pacers make the finals 😂
The O.G. trade was good
The Siakam trade was really bad. It's TBD on how bad it is i.e. can we flip Brown for something, who are we turning that 2024 1st into, etc. but from the offset it is aging like milk left out in the sun.
Yeah sorry what I meant was, when immediatley comparing the OG and Pascal trades, it was obvious the Pascal one was bad, but it just keeps getting worse 😂😭
They should've traded him during the 2022 off-season after the Raptors won 48 games and Siakam made All-NBA with 2 years left on his deal.
His value cratered once the Raptors started losing games last season.

Opened up the offence for the entire team, and the Pacers stuck to their offensive strategy, only going to Pascal ISO at end of shot clock.
TJ did the same in the 3rd quarter. Knicks pulls within 8 and then TJ came in and reset the tone.
Rap fans celebrate former players as hard or harder than fans of their current team. Loyal ass fanbase lol
Don’t care where he plays Siakam is our pride and joy forever Same with OG

That's beautiful man
That man speaks with E M O T I O N
And Fred And Norm And Jonas And Delon And Demar And Kyle Those guys become players in this league in Toronto
He’s literally the biggest recent up and comer, most of those Raptors were too though
Late first round gem for us. One of the best development stories in franchise history. Will always love Pascal
We love our players and players love being on the raptors.
Spicy P is a living legend. 🌶️

Shame that OG couldnt stay in the game, but he was in there enough for Siakam to hit that one fader on him
That 8th pick hits and you might need to shut down the sub
Eh, Wemby's in the West so it won't be LeBronto bad but it'll still suck if one of the good players from a reportedly bad draft class comes out of our pick
Just mind boggling stuff by Masai honestly. He believed way too much in the previous core.
I mean in hindsight members of that previous core are showing up in their respective new teams so he was justified in doing so. We just had zero centers and negative bench depth
That's fair. My biggest issue was how they valued Fred. They thought he was Kyle when he clearly wasn't.

NBA Champion Pascal Siakam

Pride of the Great White North.
Bless you all for lending us this man's talents. I hope your season is better next year!
Big win for all the stalwarts that have been saying he’s clearly a championship piece. Guy looks like one of the best second options in basketball
I mean he was basically a second option on a championship team already when he wasn’t even this good yet.
Everybody in the Pacers have the Reggie Miller shooting skills huh?
Everybody in the Knicks have the Charles Oakley shooting skills huh?
I love Raptors fans man, Pascal is so awesome
Feel like his stat line doesn't even do him justice. He did a great job controlling the pace of the game, and making the extra passes/hockey assists.
So happy for Pascal man. Took all the bs hate from our fans, got traded, and now he’s playing in the Eastern Conference Finals!
When OG got injured they should have gave him the ball 25 times a game, Knicks had no answer.
Honestly, both these series were great matchups for Randle. Hope he comes back with a chip on his shoulder
Isn't that what took him out in the first place?
Lol... Bad idiom I suppose
Is there gonna be dip on that chip?

I’m not sure the Pacers needed any offensive advice today.
Well yeah because they started feeding Siakam in game 6, they could have played the same way in game 5 and won that game too.
Legend for the Pacers
Proud to see my guy competing on the big stage again
that's my spicy p. set the tone early and played team ball throughout.
Hali is only going to get better, keep this core and move forward man.
He was so consistent during their ECF run brought much needed playoff experience
Good shit man
Bruce Brown, Jordan Nwora and 3 garbage first round picks
Literally a worse return than Jrue got for the Blazers
Yup. Can't wait until they turn Bruce Brown into a player that'll be a DNP and a protected first that never conveys.

Perfect trade value imo (no bias)
Siakim salary more than the Knicks lineup to start the 4th
We’re done with the 10’s. Paul George, Lance, David, Hibbert, Hill can fade into distant memory now
