Why is Toronto isoing with KL every possession instead of getting the ball to Siakim???


They're getting his playoff rust off so he can be ready to go next to Lebron next season

I suppose lol.. They almost lost the game with that strategy. KL's decision making could also be better.

Raptors are obviously gonna win this series, but if Siakam is your #1 option then you aren’t gonna win a championship despite the kid having tremendous talent.

If I am a Pacer fan, I feel pretty good. It sucks to lose, but they are competitive with a potential Finals team and Dipo will return next year.....and they have a lot of cap space. They will not get stars, but they can add a lot of quality around Dipo and Tuner.

Yeah, they do have a good thing going for them, I said the same thing about the Magic, both will Improve significantly next year.

It's about time he's recognized as a top 5 PG.. Westbrook and Lowry are usually ranked ahead of him.

He’s probably the 2nd best PG in the league at the moment. Only Curry is clearly better. Irving has a case but I’d rather have Dame.

I wanted Portland to take this one but it has been a fun game nonetheless.

Irving and Lillard are basically 1 and the same.

Waited too long to put Dame in the game with 8mins in the 4th. Should have put him back in there with 10 left since they were down. Oh well

ORL was trying to force anyone other than Kawhi to beat them. They were much later with help (defensively) on everybody but Kawhi.

Honestly, it would depend on who the 2nd star was.


KD? Dame
LeBron? Kyrie.

Paul George is a very underrated douchebag. Dunking the ball like that to run up the score as time expired.

I guess OKC was the lower seed, but for some reason I considered Portland the underdog in this series. Why isn't OKC a better team when they have two top ten players in Westbrook and George plus a pretty good center in Steven Adams? No depth, shooting, or third star?

Siakam will be an all-star next season. Hopefully Kawhi leaves so he can go off.

dame is better than Russ ( though I like russ better). PG has not proven to be consistent in big moments of play offs. However blazers have best player on court.
