SAN FRANCISCO—Sometimes, being good enough just isn’t good enough.
And you have to wonder if that’s going to cost Pascal Siakam a berth in next month’s NBA all-star game.
Siakam is absolutely having an all-star calibre season — statistically and by any subjective eye test — but will it be enough?
It should be. It might not be.
And that’s a shame, and also may end up being a direct indictment of Toronto’s current predicament in the Eastern Conference.
Here’s the math:
There are three frontcourt starter positions for the East when they are announced tonight and they will go to some combination of Giannis Antetokounmpo, Jayson Tatum, Kevin Durant and Joel Embiid.
