The evenings follow one another and look alike for Pascal Siakam. Once once more leader of his team in attack and defense, the Cameroonian confirms that he will have to be taken very seriously this season. And her team with it, since she will have a little respite following an insane start to the season.
To count Trae Young’s bullet losses one by one, it’s here
Pascal Siakam had announced it, he wants to be a Top 5 player in the NBA, to be part of the gratin, to lead his team to victory. Talking is all well and good, at the same time that’s what we ask of it at Media Day, but following it all up with action is even better. Well imagine, Spicy P is a man of honor. He keeps his word, since the start of the season, and did it once more last night. 31 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists? An evening like any other for the leader of the Raptors. With that Pascalou will further improve his averages, already excellent at the start of the season, and beyond the stats, Pascal remains aggressive (16 free throws attempted), incisive in attack, still just as hard on the man in defense, and he also knows how to make friends bite. A bit of the perfect player, isn’t it?

A new performance of champion which earned Pascal Siakam chants “MVP, MVP” as he slammed his last free throws in the middle of the fourth quarter. Yes, it came out like all the big guns six minutes from the end and we therefore had the right to six minutes of good old garbage time, we will spare you the details it might make you dizzy. The Raptors starters had in any case well deserved this additional rest: Scottie Barnes went there with his 21 points (with 5 successful shots, career high) while sometimes struggling with Trae Young in defense (see below for the surprise), Gary Trent Jr. broke his wrist once more, and in all that makes six players with more than 10 points, that’s very Nick Nurse and that’s a pretty good sign.
The Hawks? A little less good healing tonight. The hawks turned into chicks, Trae Young released his best triple-double with 14 points, 10 assists, and 10 turnovers at 3/13 shooting. Be careful, it will start to show that the Hawks only won once morest the weak, and that they lose their matches and their means as soon as they find a good team.
The Raptors win every other game, so they should lose the next one. In the meantime, they join the Hawks with a 4-3 record, but they’ve only faced Eastern heavyweights, unlike Nate McMillan’s gang. Next opponent the Hornets, to perhaps launch the first series of the season in Toronto?
