Siakim is getting exposed
Funny how they said....well they had a better record without Kawhi. They aren't a better team without him though, even with a healthy OG.
I was watching Speak For Yourself, and Brousard was saying that maybe Gianis isn't a number one, at least right now, because he has no go to move that he can count on. In the playoffs you can game plan for him.
Toronto is finding out the same thing, Siakim isn't a number one. Lowry looked a lot better playing besides Kawhi, because he's not a number one either. He looked good as hell being a third or four option.
I kept wondering and looking at Lowry thinking, damn, with his resume, he's now a hall of fame player...yet dude has never been anywhere near the top five at his position. How is that possible? Without Kawhi last year he's Demar

Only DeMar has two less All Stars, because 20, 5 and 5 doesn't put you in the all star game in the west...but in the east 15 or 18 and 7 gets you in the all star game in the back court on a good team. In the West Lowry is Conley with Memphis.
So all of their players from Van Fleet to Siakim looked a lot better, because you know who was going to guard the best player and put up 20 or 25 and be counted on at crunch time every night.
