[Kami]

Oh really

They were trapping the shyt out of leonard. the whole team actually thats why lowry was the 2nd best player that series he was the only guard to beat it everytime. when he sat kawhi was getting stripped by the warriors.

Im starting to believe its less because its "his 1st year in the role" or more that hes not a genuine No 1 guy...Alot of being a No 1 is mentality.
He doesnt have that alpha dog aggressive mentality that he wants to destroy other teams and put nikkas thru the rim...Giannis to me is alot less skilled than most No 1 players but he has that killer mentality to his game and that with his size allows him to body nikkas and try to yam on nikkas every play thats a large part of his greatness....Siakam doesnt have that.

smart man.

this was his post game quote from yesterday.

“Not making shots, not being aggressive enough. I’m going to keep saying that. I have to shoot 30 shots before feeling like (I can back off). That’s the type of player I have to be,” Siakam said. “It’s an adjustment period for me, too, understanding that. I’m not saying I’m the best player on the team, I’m saying I have to make plays and I have to keep attacking. Sometimes, just the type of person I am, sometimes you just want to ‘Okay, I’m not playing well, let me try to do other things.’ But at the same time you have to do other things but understand you are that person and you have make those plays. There is no one to look at to make those plays and you have to take charge. It’s me and I have to continue to get better and make sure I don’t let my offence or anything like that dictate the way I play. So I have to be better like that and find other ways to impact the game, and also understand that I am that person.”

To me that sounds like a guy who doesn't have that killer mentality and score first mindset. never heard bosh or derozan say shyt like that early in their careers they just took responsibility as the #1 guy and all thta comes with it.

He's growing into it. Sounds an awful lot like Giannis when he was en route to getting backdoor'd last year, yet somebody upthread said Giannis has killer instinct...

Siakam will grow into his role, ultimately he'll be fine...

Most of Siakams points in the Finals were off of Kawhi being triple teamed, but the Coli didn't see it that way

 

[UpAndComing]

What is the point of showing me stats of the open looks he got from Kawhi being triple teamed?

Stats? This is actual footage of what happened.

He struggled again tonight. He scored 13 of his 18 points in the first quarter, and then was a non-factor for the rest of the game.

He had Satoransky on him and was passing out of it....i cant explain this lol.

 

[NkrumahWasRight Is Wrong]

There isnt much that hes doing right now that is overly concerning long term. He'll be fine and worth the contract, specifically for toronto which isnt a huge FA destination spot by any means

You man are weird asf

Golden State did trap Leonard a lot for the first 3 games. It's not surprising that his best performance was game 4 in which the Warriors allowed him to go one on one more. Injury fukkery aside, the series nearly ended in 5 because they again tried to play him straight up late in the 4th quarter of game 5 and he went on another big spurt.

The thing about trapping Leonard tho is that by that point Fred and the other Raps had sky high confidence after the Bucks series. The game 3 where KL all but dragged them on one leg past the Bucks in double OT with Lowry & Powell fouled out and Siakam missing freethrows, was the turning point. Next game, them nyggas woke up and rallied behind him.

Regarding Siakam, during his great stretch earlier in the season, all i said in response was that Siakam gon have to see Embiid and Giannis in the playoffs again. All the narratives -he a superstar, 17-5, most disrespected team, etc- will grow or end in May.

 

[NoMorePie]

$32m a year because he had 1 good year

God damn it man...

20/7/3 incoming

Yes, I'm fully aware I have demar on my team...

I was at least close to his season average

 

[Cel 510 kid ados forever]

I admit i was wrong

He a great player

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

We need to start having a discussion this nikka ain't got it, well, not yet anyway. Cats tried to crown him far too early.

Now is his chance to prove himself. He's been less than stellar since the resumption; we'll see once and for all if he's for real.

They gonna regret this when Caris Levert drops a 50 piece on him and OG

nets in 6
