WWE legend Shawn Michaels took to Twitter to react to Toronto Raptors swingman Pascal Siakam's kick to Boston Celtics big man Daniel Theis' face in Game 5 on Monday.
Michaels clearly found the whole situation amusing:
Well, while I APPRECIATE you’ve been watching my old @WWE tapes, you may run into issues hitting sweet chin music on an @nba basketball court!! 🤣 @Raptors https://t.co/QeWYXA6WPf

Watching the play live was pretty hilarious since it has been a while since we've seen someone get kicked in the face during a basketball game.
At least it looks like the Raptors have gained a new fan in Shawn Michaels, though.
The Raptors are down 3-2 to the Celtics. Game 6 is on Wednesday, and Toronto's magical season sans Kawhi Leonard could come to an end unless Pascal Siakam finds his game. The All-Star has really been struggling in the 2020 playoffs, as he's averaging 18.0 points, 7.1 rebounds and 3.7 assists while shooting just 41.1 percent from the field, 21.3 percent from beyond the arc and 73.7 percent from the free-throw line.
It's a lot easier to be “Batman” during the regular season than it is in the playoffs since the game slows down in the postseason and half-court scoring is at a premium. Siakam doesn't have many moves he can use to get off clean looks in half-court situations other than his spin move, which the Celtics have pretty much taken away from him.
Boston forward Jaylen Brown has done a good job of making things difficult for Pascal Siakam, who is putting up only 15.8 points per game in the Celtics series.
