I love this team and they are a lot of fun to watch, usually.
But @SaintJ had it right when he said Tatum showed up and Siakam didn't. Tatum's improvement has been impressive. Vision, passing, setting up others. Siakam has done the opposite. Held the ball too long, too many moves, too many forced shots, not looking to hit guys cutting.
We have great supporting players, but we need A Guy or The Guy - not named Lowry. Kyle is incredible, but he can't do it all.
and right on cue... Pascal misses a corner three badly. And they take the rebound and run and score easily. And then he cannot buy ANOTHER layup. He has missed two crucial layups late.
I can't anymore with this dude this series.
One of the best games I have ever seen, playoffs or otherwise.
If it had been in the Finals, we would be comparing it to game 5 of the 1976 Finals.
