Siakam did this too the Hawks as well, he basically is a nightmare if you lack rim protection. His athleticism, body control, motor and speed is with his handles makes him such a tough matchup. The fact that he can defend 2-4 and some 5s makes him such a special player. V. Milwaukee, he had an extremely tough matchup. Middleton and Giannis have size, can defend, stronger and more physical than Siakam. It was just a tough matchup but Orlando and GS lack rim protection and it shows.
Philly has good players and rim protection as well. The east was pretty damn good this year in terms of playoffs teams. It is no surprise that this is a tough matchup. I feel like all three of the top seeds would give issues to GS in some way without Durant healthy
Looking back it’s crazy but that philly series might have been our toughest series. Which is why if I’m philly I’m sitting back right now and would want to bring everyone back. It took a miracle shot from kawhi and all nba type d from Leonard and gasol to just literally escape in a 7 game series
