Not sure what Siakam was chirping about after this, very blatant and unnecessary

Lillard also pulls him down, Siakam ain’t the onl bad actor here.

Lillard pulls Siakam down, Siakam intentionally trips Lillard. Both parties are guilty.

Love how the “notice” the FVV foul a few plays later when trying to determine if Barnes got the clean block, but in this case, refuse to acknowledge that Dame pulled Siakam first. Bad officiating. On the plus side, I’m fine with it, for Wemby reasons.

When I see Pascal Siakim play as he is now it reminds me of how I used to play and it is frustrating and pisses me off that the NBA allows it. Not proud of it, I was known as Shaq on my local streetball court and went through a phase when I charged hard at everything. Big hard turns to my blindside, didn’t care who was there. Charge right into the lane. Smash into the best offensive player on D while going for the ball, come what may. Limited offensive moves. So make no mistake about it. Siakam knows what he’s doing. He knows people will be injured. He knows his skillset is limited and this is how he can win. He knows people will give way when he drives, think twice on their drives, etc. He will only be stopped by a stronger player and/or fearless players like Giannis, Gasol, Draymond, etc. Or by an obviously more skilled player with equal Type A like Ibaka. He didn’t intend to injure, but he certainly intends to show you that he doesn’t care if you get hurt when he rumbles into you. At least that’s how I used to play. But that was streetball. Eventually I got more moves, played w better players, played real basketball w refs. There’s no doubt in my mind the NBA has some kind of edict coming down, telling the refs to let him run amok.

This ain’t Siakam’s first rodeo when it comes to grabbing ankles

How can you be surprised after being called for flagrant when you know what you did, cuz you done it on purpose…

Gonna go against the Raptors grain and say that Siakam can occasionally get frustrated and do shit like this. I remember him tripping Embiid in the 2019 playoffs. He’s not a generally dirty player but once in a while he lets people get in his head.

The raps don’t care about winning. They only wanna stop the star player.

Wow riddle me shocked coming from the dude who threw an elbow into Embiids face last season. Dude has a habit of doing dirty shit when he’s frustrated but Toronto fans will do Olympic level mental gymnastics to explain otherwise.

Siakam is my guy I apologize on his behalf

Dirty af. The Raptors should trade him now

There goes Siakam doing dirty things again

So if I have the comments right it’s cool to pull someone’s leg out from under them as long as they grabbed your arm beforehand while making a play on the ball. Cool.

Raptors fans it’s not normal to grab someone’s ankle and no Lillard didn’t pull him down

Dame fouled him but the retaliation was dirty

Siakam deserved a flagrant but it clearly should’ve been a foul on Lillard first

Siakam dirty as hell

Not cool

Lol, Raptors fans here in force to pretend this is somehow equally Dame’s fault.
teensonacid
why the fuck is tripping now a thing. NBA needs to start enforcing suspensions on players who trip

It’s baffling to me that people come in here and defend this. You don’t have to defend EVERYTHING your players do just because you’re a fan of the team. It’s OK to just let something go and admit your player probably shouldn’t have done that

Siakam has some small moments here his emotions get the best of him. This is one of those moments. They were right to call a flagrant.
