as a raptors fan Im happy for him
The spiiice flows through Indiana now lol
He’s gonna thrive.
Warriors should have traded Wiggins, Moody and some draft picks for Siakam
Great game Pascal! Wish you so much success with your new team! I'm a Pacers fan now!! Will be cheering you and your teammates on! I get a strong feeling you guys are going deep this year!
Imagine if he was on the 76ers
Look at Siakam, so inspirational. 1st win as a Pacers with a 3ple Double against a top seed team !!
Pascal is still loved in the north. Some cotton suckered in Toronto were pushing the organization to blow it up. Tonight Pascal and OG have monster nights
PASCAL MAKES THE PACRS DEADLY
THEY COULD BEAT THE CELTICS AND BUCKS
I love watching him play
Everything im hearing, Pascal and Tyrese orchestrated this deal somewhat. Pascal said he would re-sign with Pacers and not Golden State or Sacramento. He wanted to play with Tyrese and Turner for next 5 years.
LETS GO PACERS!!
This so cursed but proud of him 🎉🎉🎉
Spicy P is a great fit for the Pacers his defence and the way the pacers play fast pace he fits in perfectly
“I really love that max contract they promised me”
This is his first win as a pacer? He’s been there nearly two weeks. Trash team 😂😂😂
U could tell hes so happy hes out of that franchise finally, happy for him.
Blue & gold sounds like the lakers' purple & gold, pacers should keep it. & happy for spicy p
Miss you SIAKAM …
DARKO is trash … got our best players gone …
Now espn is featuring him
Congrats with your first win with the new team Spicy P…I hope you get the support you deserve with the Pacers! You will always be loved by the people in the "6"
Pascal Siakam continuing to learning playing more physical and aggressiveness in the game
Welcome to Indy man!
👏
Let's go P! Toronto will always be happy for you in whatever you do
Great win and definitely happy for the Pacers!!! Definitely happy with Pascal too!!!
Masai is a 🤡 Bro! All he has to do is pay this man.
He is such a STEAL! 🔥 Pacers front office did excellent job getting him. 👍
“I wanna make this home” you love to hear it
Too bad you were so stubborn, we coulda kept OG and shipped you in the SUMMER like Masai tried to do!!! You coulda been doin this from the start of the season smh.
