Another great game and monster 4th quarter for Barnes, who finished with 31-7-6… but he had 3 turnovers down the stretch, including dribbling the ball off his foot with 40 seconds left. All part of the learning curve, as the Raptors fall to 1-1 in the post-Siakam era. – 9:52 PM

Pacers starters Andrew Nembhard and Aaron Nesmith are OUT tonight in Sacramento, along with Haliburton and Siakam obviously.
It’s game 1 of a b2b, playing in Portland on Friday. – 9:15 PM

Toronto’s first game without Siakam was a 24-pt win over Miami last night. Raptors host #Bulls tonight, with two former Pacers, Bruce Brown & Jordan Nwora, expected to play. Raps have been starting Quickley over Schroder since the NY trade, with RJ Barrett averaging 20.6 ppg – 6:34 PM

Just caught up on the Masai presser, about as real as it gets as far as NBA pressers go. Glad he covered all sides of the Siakam calculus. There seems to be an energy and relief to have this clean slate to build. Patience easier now with clarity. – 5:29 PM

The Warriors wanted Pascal Siakam, but the interest didn’t appear to be mutual, per @sam_amick (podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…):
“The Warriors were interested. I don’t think he was excited about anything past this season with them.”

Pascal Siakam won’t play in Sacramento tonight. K Brown, Haliburton, Mathurin, Nembhard, Nesmith, Toppin, Tshiebwe, and Wong are ALL listed as questionable. Going to be tough for the Pacers. Carlisle said earlier today that Haliburton is out. Wong practiced w/ the Mad Ants today. – 4:39 PM

I did a deep dive with some film, some stats, and some scouting on why the Pascal Siakam trade is such a perfect fit for the Pacers.
The deal absolutely has much more risk than what I think a lot of people are saying, but it’s a worthwhile risk.
