Pascal Siakam talks Game 4 Loss vs Celtics, FULL Postgame Interview 🎤

hey Pascal um obviously postseason ends tonight but just kind of thinking through this postseason what do you feel like you obviously you came in the middle of the Season learned about this group of guys and this team and and kind of everything that you guys can do moving forward um um yeah I mean just um a lot a lot of Fight You Know in the team and um just to see the growth and and just you know how as the year I mean obviously I came in the middle of the year but as the year was going on just um getting better as a team um every single day um and and and during this poort season you know just continue to fight and and scratch every single day and um yeah just just kind of unfortunate to you know obviously that ended this way but um yeah proud of the fight and and how um we just continuously like got better and and also just kept fighting you know even even though we had the downs but just just continue to fight through everything Pascal just over four months now what have you made of your time here with the Pacers so far um I think um yeah for me um obviously it’s been it’s been a crazy year you know um just uh I came from um a place where you know I thought I was going to spend the rest of my career you know there and um and and you know ended up leaving there and and yeah it’s been hard um obviously I’m I’m a pretty positive person and and um I have a lot of support obviously for my family um but yeah it’s been it’s been tough just just going through everything and and um you know I’m leaving the middle the season and just going through it a lot you know mentally and physically and and um just from from everything but and then Landing here um the support from from the first day uh it’s been incredible like I I couldn’t really ask for um anything better um just in terms of support from the first day I got here you know um I can name literally everyone you know from KP Chad um the coaches Rick LP the players Tai Drew miles the whole staff I mean just so much love and support um and I think just coming from where I came from and I’ve sacrificed so much you know in a place and and and I think that you know after you have that kind of breakup and and and it’s it’s hard it’s tough and then you coming to here um and I think without that support like I I I don’t know how I would would to do it you know and um I’m so grateful and and happy that you know I came in a place where um you just feel so supported and and um you feel like you needed you feel like um you matter and um and as a player that’s really all you can ask for and um yeah like I yeah I’m I’m blessed to you know to be able to to be here and and have the season that we had and and coming into a group of guys that um you know really it matter for them to to be able to compete and um and I’m just happy to be a part of it and and for me as a player like that’s all I really asked for like um I give everything to to to the places where I am and um and and and for me to to be here and to come here and just to see you know um how like the support has been so incredible it it just it warms my heart and um yeah I’m I’m I’m blessed just Pascal three of these four games you guys LED late had had a chance to close it out um just how do you what do you how do you come away from a series like that uh and just what can what kind of learning experience can this be for a young team yeah it’s hard um because I think you know when you look at all those games um yeah we right there um and um feels like it just kind of goes away from us you know uh certain points of the game and and yeah it sucks it’s tough and and you know it’s easy to just be like oh yeah like we’re going to learn from from it but you know this things like it’s it’s hard just because I know how hard we worked and and how close we were in all these games um and and and I know how hard it is to come back to this position you know so um you know I could tell you like yeah we’re going to learn from it and it’s going to you know like uh it’s going to happen but like it’s not guaranteed and um and and I know how hard it is to get to this point so it’s it’s unfortunate and and um obviously you want to give credit to the other team cuz you know they took advantage of every mistake that we made and um you know they did well but but also for us just it’s it’s been it’s been hard like heartbreaking losses after the heartbreaking losses and and yeah you’re going to be encouraged by by it and and you hope to put the the right amount of work to to continue to get better um because we need to be to be a lot better you know um if you want to compete you know with with those teams and and understand that you know it doesn’t matter how good we played like you know we didn’t get it done back here Pascal I’ve got two for you the first you you sort of mentioned right there about Indianapolis and just being here and what that transition was like a lot of moving Parts is offseason but is this a place that you would be okay and want to potentially come back to next year um I think you know obviously like I’m not going to talk about like you know like like all that but all I can say is that like it’s yeah it’s been a blessing um and um I’m really appreciative of of everything you know um i’ yeah I think coming from where I come from like it’s yeah it means a lot and and um and the support that I’ve I’ve received here like is is something that um yeah like I I was I was kind of missing and and having you know all that and and and seeing how a city just breathes basketball and and and just like how much support they give to to the team like just being here like the home games I mean incredible um I like how how would you not be a part of that you know so I think for me like I’m just really blessed and happy for you know how this been and um and and I think that you know like in terms of future you know whatever whatever happens is going to happen and then second one having experienced the top of the league winning it how close is this team I I I think you know I want to be very careful just because you know like like I said like I think it’s easy you know after a season like that to be like oh man we going to be we go so close and we’re going to get back to it but it’s it’s it’s not guaranteed and and I’ve known that you know like firsthand um I feel encouraged but but I think it’s it’s a lot of work we got to get better um as a team as an organization um and and if you want to get to that level like you know it takes a lot and um obviously you feel encouraged but but there there’s a long way to go p right here um miles has been here the longest of anybody how did he help you kind of transition to Indiana and how did he make you feel just playing wise on the court and off off the court as well maybe with just how to live in Indiana yeah no it’s been it’s been awesome like all the guys been aw awesome and and and mil one of them like just talking to him um you know he’s like they they’ve been so welcoming and I think like when you have a player like me coming into a team you know it can be you know like sometime intimidating you know for a lot of people but just like those guys been you like so awesome like their character as people um you know the way they they welcom me like with open arms and and from the first day you know got texts from everyone um was one of them and and and just like showing the support and and wanting to make it work and and those guys want to win you know and I think that for me what I’ve tried to bring is just like you know that that that winning kind of culture and and and continue to build on that and and um understanding that you know we are young but you know like we got to continue to be professional and continue to to work at a C Level you know to be able to achieve the things that you want to achieve and and I want to be you know like the Catalyst of of that just because of my experience and everything and and and Miles that’s been here for a while like he’s um he’s been so great and and welcoming for me and and um and and you know I appreciate that that’s you kind of touched on this a little bit already but I mean what do you think is the most what are the important things most important things you think this team has learned about itself over this playoff run and when you say this team has to get better you know how what’s the most important ways this team has to get better um I think which we all know that like getting better like experience is part of that um and and and that’s why you know like these moments is like oh man like you know the experience and we get on that belt and and and we young and we’re going to get better um that’s part of it but but also just in terms of just just everything like defensively um um offensively uh understanding you know like how great our paac is and and um finding ways how to you know like be controll with what we do like playing for you know 48 minutes like um being you know stronger um rebounding um like it’s just I mean I can sit a lot of things you know but but I think that like overall we just got to continue to get better um to be able to get to to that to that level and um and it’s it’s just details you know and and if you look at most of those games like it you know it comes down to details and and and and like I said when you play against good teams like you you those mistakes like they they cash in on those and um I think that’s something that we we can we can learn from as a team thank
