I Watched Pascal Siakam’s First Game As A Pacer…

It’s time ladies and gentlemen the Indiana Pac is traded for Pascal yakum and tyres is back from Miss injury Pascal is making his debut now it is in Portland Portland’s not a very good team but we have to react to the debut live one of those people that I thought I

Would never see in a different Jersey I don’t know how to explain I mean he did spend his whole career in Toronto before last week or a couple days ago but it still is a bit different it’s a bit different I got to get used to it here we go first offensive

Possession oh I’m I don’t know man I’m just I’m just over excited now I switched over to the the Indiana Pacers broadcast this is normally a team when I watch the Blazers I listen to the Blazers but I got to listen to Indie because this is their first game

Together man I got to hear what the commentators are saying about the matchups about about the about the team first shot back from injury cash shees Pascal come get it screen this is the first one and it’s up the first two as a Pacer there it

Is malcol bro is so nasty I hey I don’t know if Malcolm bro’s getting traded I would hope so and he goes to a team that’s trying to compete send that man to Philly send that man to New York I need to see him on a playoff team malcol

Bro is just so underrated bro he’s so underrated Corner three Pascal bottoms oh man this this team this team was already really really fun it was already a super fun team to watch and now I’m just saying like a talent upgrade for a type of roster like this

Goes a very long way come on Smith F you know you get a chance to start that’s what we do and there’s Malcolm brog then just on on Q on Q Man Malcolm Broger for three he just won’t miss is let me see is that is he have 11 is he that I’m

Losing track just know he got a lot of the points so far I don’t know if Tyrese is supposed to be on some type of minri rtion since this first game back in like two weeks or so buddy bottoms I mean you can just see it certain players when

They releasing the ball you just know and Buddy’s one of those guys off the fingertips you can tell what buddy Hill shot is going in and which ones are not now did switch over to the Blazers uh commentary I don’t know I just like the this one of my favorite commentary

Teams of basketball there’s a spin from Pascal I mean you know it’s coming you just don’t you can’t really guard it in most cases I I’ve mentioned this before I do not like scoots onc Court drip I know I’m I’m 27 years old I shouldn’t be

Thinking about on court drip but it’s a real thing it’s a real thing um the leg sleeves the calf sleeves look like socks so it just looks like he’s it looks like he just went two socks to his knees and I just don’t like

It scoop come on man the last week or so don’t don’t stop messing around now he did end up having 33 points on 31 shots a couple nights ago but I watched all of those shots like 29 of them were good looks for him you know they were giving him so

Many open ones he was just taking them taking them taking them and they’ll fall more eventually I like Ben sheeper too good defense right there by Barry I missed the king of efficiency Jaylen Smith I say he’s king of efficiency he’s missing layups this might turn to a school Henderson video

This might turn into a school Henderson video this is such a good take from The Rook man such a good take I think that points all on layups just him using that strength cuz he’s a rookie but he’s built like a tank and the first couple I

Guess months of his career he wasn’t doing that like that so we’re seeing the progression eight points he’s got eight good pass Ben BCE Shepard is just a little bit too shy for me I know you’re a rooking on please take the shot there

You go there you go you a shoot you’re a shooter remember that Ben you are a shooter and look at the graphics this feels like an a to for you to watch Trailblazer games but it’s beautiful it just exists it it exists right there the first quarter stats who’s doing oh my

God that’s 30 ft out no good and here is habro coming on to the microphone you know like I said they got a nice a nice group of talent over there Obie good one more that’s good basketball that’s good basketball now you may have won the one

More to the guy that’s close to 50 40 90 but that’s good basketball sco made him fall finish it finish it rewind it rewind it scoot made him touch the flow oh man his legs just like I got to go one more time one more time cuz sometimes players trip let look real

Closely he he tripped over miles I don’t care I don’t care highlight real material for scoop one thing I mentioned in the original trade video is that there’s never there’ll never be a minute where Pascal’s on the floor without a good setup point guard and right now

Tyrese is on the bench and it’s TJ McConnell uh Nim hard is injured so we won’t see any of him today but number nine is going to get you the ball when you need it that one in I’m I I can see it buddy heels release it’s like you can

See when it’s going in and when it’s not and it’s not just about when he’s open when he’s not cuz I mean he’s buddy hee he’s one of the best three-point Shooters of all time um but still I I mean I don’t know I don’t know and there’s Mr steady right

There one thing about DeAndre Aiden if you get him that ball a button don’t work black CLE I’m just and sometimes that’s okay and today so far it’s been okay and I’m not I’m not using that as criticism so far today has been okay they they

Can’t miss um but there are times I’m like man sometimes the first look ain’t the best look I need the I need the Pacers to run a little bit so far the Blazers have done a very good job at limiting fast bre opportunities one is because they’re shooting 60% from the

Field um so they’re not even getting the opportunity to do fast break but they are getting back and not a single person is crashing for offensive rebound they’ve kind of recognized that the Pacers are the number two fast break team in basketball say hey y’all going

To have to beat us some other way and it’s it’s working so far Jeremy Grant is just like look at this that’s amazing defense but Jeremy has made some of the toughest shots they would just mention on the broadcast that Jeremy Grant takes the third toughest shots in all the

Association by some Metric behind Brandon Ingram and Demar D Roa he’s third in all the league and obviously he’s still an efficient basketball player it’s kind of amazing to watch in real time points in the paint is 40-2 right now and the three-point disparity is 11 made threes for the Pacers and

Only two for the Blazers but I mean if you’re going to outscore the opposing team by 30 in the paint who cares about three-point shots I ain’t realize it was that crazy when I was talking about the fact that they only hit two threes the trail blades are breaking records in

This one the lowest amount of three-o is attempted by a team in a single half to sees the Pascal another um five three-point attempts the lowest All Season which is kind of crazy you think about where we came from as like an a league five three pointers and a

Half is it’s super low but like I’ve definitely watched basketball games in my life where that was like the norm and nobody’s better than I and now it’s the lowest of all time or lowest of the season it’s a second play the start to have ran for Pascal Pascal had zero like

Zero actual at least that’s what it looked like zero plays ran for him in first half and the first two possessions of the second half they like give Pascal the ball and let him do what he can do and four straight points and that’s great defense but nobody’s there to help

The help that was helping the help that was also helping the help I I would say give it back to 43 and just until he missed give it to 43 or number seven that one’s in two I I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know the signs behind it I

Don’t know the signs behind it one of my least favorite things is when a player LLY Breaks the Rules and they act like they didn’t Aon Smith 100% travels here but he’s he’s like what did I do no what did I do what did I do no you travel my

Boy it’s fine get back you you 100% travel finally a fast break opportunity good defense Jeremy Grant he is everywhere offensively and defensively okay they rewinding it for us like he had no chance or no idea that he was making that play that’s man it really is just the the Blazers

Walking to the rim every possession it’s kind of impressive how bad the defense is for the Pacers like for real it’s kind of it’s kind of impressive it’s just such an interesting lineup right now for the Trailblazers they got zero guards on the floor they got four wings in a

Big and none of these guys traditionally are like it’s not like they got a point forward on the court like Jeremy’s doing everything tonight so I guess you could play him at all five positions but I I wonder how many minutes this combination of players have played I mean uhoh you

See you don’t have a point guard you see what happen when you don’t have a point guard you see what happen when you don’t have a point guard oh man yeah I I don’t know so Skool Henderson did get injured earlier and he’s he has not come back so I see

Why they don’t have another point guard because the point guard that they were expecting to have to play these minutes is not there anymore I don’t even remember who else is on the roster that could be a point guard either way uh yeah they just they just got four wings

In the center on the court really just a layup line it really just is a layup line no way no way no way you let this man get to the basket this easy first of all Obi toppen this fake I’mma stop ball thing is just not going to cut

And and the fake reach right there for Benedict mat it’s just all really bad shout out shout out to the Blazers cuz they recognize that very early on and they will not stop they have not settled for a three-point shot this whole game like I mean like really settled now of

Course they’ve taken three-point shots they were open but I mean settling for a three has not happened and that’s how they get to this point they are just really getting to the basket at wheel and this is a team that doesn’t do that normally doesn’t do that normally so it

Is cool to see them play a different way because of their competition throw it up oh and one he was definitely asking for to get thrown up and Tyrese has took it himself now Tyrese has missed two free throws today uh so it’s not a guaranteed three-point play the way he’s hooping

Right now but three is greater than two the whole fourth quarter has been the Blazers again get into the basket and getting foul like8 minutes left they R in a penalty like it’s been straight up the same thing over and over and it’s it’s been successful like

Look at this I don’t even know if I got to watch this last 6 minutes cuz if you can’t prevent this man from doing this every possession you’re just not going to win the game it’s not going to win spoiler alert when you give up layups to

NBA players they don’t miss them too often PA are trying to make some noise it’s only a seven-point game and both teams have been in the penalty the reason why you have not seen much fourth quarter for me it’s all been free throws what you want me to say doing the free

Throw it’s all all been free throw so uh yeah I a I ain’t been talking too much but now they can’t start playing scar now it’s it’s a whole four minutes left yeah Malcolm it’s my one of my least favorite things about this sport um shout out to DeAndre Aiden they get

Close the game the game only has a few minutes left and now the stuff that was working to put you in the lead you just sto doing I’ll never understand it it happens every game to every team and Miles makes it a what fivepoint game again

Seak has five fouls Jeremy Grant is just ridiculous I mean that’s high off glass you can’t even do nothing about that 36 points for him so far three minutes left Pascal Island never mind never mind what is the spacing look what is the spacing I hate it it ended in

Another and one oh no it didn’t ladies and gentlemen it’s looking like that’s it bar Walker hit a couple big shots or I guess layups do they count of shots made a couple big layups it’s it’s foul season I don’t know if I can get through

I mean I’m going to watch obviously but this is feeling more and more like a Blazers win every single second like look at that man fight look at that man fight definitely need a bucket right here if you going come back Pacers that is a bucket all right we staying in our

Chair we’re staying in our chair cuz that is a bucket uh no fouls buddy please don’t I can’t do more free throws bro I don’t know how many free throws has been but just mark my word just it’s been a it’s it’s been a lot of them all

Right I stop right here put you back in the game believe it or not that was a huge three right there but Malcolm bro been on one today can he get another one oh he touched it da da that was going in uhoh uhoh Malcolm 3 seconds too he got it up on

The glass he missed it got you gotta go you gotta go you gotta go Budd he’s about to do something crazy I see it in his eyes never mind they turned it over they turned it over matis styo just the idea of matis styu got them spooked and it’s a

Six-point game with 50 I’m sure they gonna foul Hey listen I ain’t here for this they trying to figure out that somebody get attacked that they not this game is wrapped up okay this game is wrapped up the the the Pacers defense was awful and protecting the paint they

Tried to make it interesting it ended up being a great game Pascal seak looked pretty good in his debut and that’s with not a lot of opportunities like drawn up for him I thought the timing between him and Tyrese wasn’t amazing but of course it’s not it’s their first game playing

Playing together we we could check back in in like a month or so when they get 10 or 15 games out of their belt um I think it can obviously work very well but the blazes just put them on their butt today
