Veteran forward Pascal Siakam, who guided the Indiana Pacers to last year’s NBA Finals, dished out a stinging opinion of his side’s mentality following their 111-94 defeat at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday.
The loss put them at 6-24 and has extended their losing streak to six games, making them one of the worst teams in the league this season.
Siakam, who had 15 points in the losing effort, did not have any qualms about expressing the issue he has regarding how the franchise is handling the terrible season.
“When we decide that losing is not ok, we’re gonna go somewhere,” Siakam said, via Alex Golden. “But if we go out there every single day and it just feels like, okay, we lost another game, it does not matter, we’re just gonna keep sinking. I don’t think we’re gonna get out of it, until when you lose and you go home and it really hurts you. Like if it doesn’t matter, we’re just gonna keep coming in here and do the same thing and lose every night and it’s gonna be it is what it is. Like, who cares? We just lost another game, it doesn’t matter. I don’t like that feeling. And if we don’t decide to change that, it’s not gonna change. We have to make it happen. Nobody is going to feel sorry for us. We can’t blame the schedule. The day that we decide that we’re tired of it, I think we’re gonna go somewhere.”
