Siakam vs OG east conference semi finals

[RoyceDa59]

Anyone else excited to tune into Siakam vs OG in the 2nd round?

Both these trades had significant impact on the Eastern conference playoffs, now we get to witness these two buddies face each other in a 7 game series.

I fully expect it to be a crap series and the knicks demolish them personally. The pacers shouldnt even be in the second round, so I'm not expecting much. Siakam was outright bad the last 4 games of his series and the bucks didnt even have anyone to play good defence against him, so if its OG covering him, hes getting clamped.

OG can increase his offseason value.

Do you think Pascal's offseason value gets effected?

Watching OG guard Siakam should be fun.

I'll take the Knicks.

Pascal was 9-15 from the field in game 6. To be fair the Knicks shouldn’t be in the 2nd round either as Embiid was nowhere close to 100%.

Knicks in six.

They'll probably end up playing each other quite a bit as well. Without Randle, OG has been playing much more PF.

Should be fun to watch!

[wegotthabeet]

Should be a great series and Knicks vs Pacers is a classic matchup regardless.

[Los_29]

Knicks got the best player by far. That will help.

[WaltFrazier]

It'll be interesting to see if OGs job is to clamp Pascal or Hali. He'll surely guard both at times in the series.

Knicks in 5.

I wish nothing but a freakin sweep on the Pacers for giving us trash for Siakam.

Lol

We were missing Randle and Embiitch injured Mitch intentionally bc Mitch had him in jail... he's not a competitor I lost all respect for him

They also injured Bogs who is built for playoff ball

So I'm not really sure how someone who scored 50 points gets the injury excuse when we were missing a handful of players / dealing with injuries

Embiid is always injured/not 100 percent this is basically him at his best.

Exactly.

I'm not even a Randle fan I wanted him gone for years now but u add him to the equation and we smack philly

Randle is one of if not THE worst playoff performer in NBA history but now that Brunsons is the clear #1 that takes immense pressure off Randle plus we have a much better team from top to bottom

I think OG/Knicks would win out here simply because the Pacers gave us nothing for Siakam so there's still some hard feelings there lol.

[GP2]

The Pacers just don't seem very good to me. I can see a Knicks sweep if their foot is on the gas.

Bogs is built for playoff basketball?

Embiid is a top 10 player. The offense runs through him. There is simply no comparison between Randle and Embiid. Knicks would much rather be without those guys than face an Embiid at 100%.

You will miss Randle when you face the Celtics in the conference finals.

I don't understand the pacers hate. No other team offered anything better than what they offered. If we really wanted to be mad, Siakam should take the brunt of the blame for tanking his own value by having his agent/family leak to Woj that he won't re-sign with anyone that traded for him.

We need to trade Siakam for AJ Griffen before it's too late! - PhilBlackson

The real blame falls on Masai obviously for waiting as long as he did if he had no intentions agreeing on an extension with Siakam.

Siakam has every right to be a free agent and choose his next destination for the next several years of his life.
