When I watch the Toronto Raptors, or scan their statistics, I feel like we’re missing something. While it sounds absurd to be complaining about a team underachieving when it’s already amassed a 55-20 record, the gears could be meshing better than they are.
The season’s biggest disappointment has to be the play of Serge Ibaka. He hasn’t shot well, particularly recently, his rebounding has been uninspiring, he doesn’t pass effectively…we’re not getting value for our 20 million smackers.
His backup, at least on the depth chart, is Pascal Siakam. Our “other” African (Pascal is a Cameroonian, while Serge hails from Congo) is delivering terrific performance for about one-ninth the cost.
