Tarpley, from Detroit Cooley and the University of Michigan, battled drug and alcohol abuse that led to a lifetime ban from the NBA in 1995. He died Friday in Arlington, Texas; the cause of death has not been released. “He was a beautiful person with a really big heart,” Aguirre said Saturday during a telephone interview from Chicago.

With that being said though, he admitted that there are points in the game where the team doesn’t know what they’re doing. “Just got to focus on Game 3. We’ve shown that we’re more than capable. We’ve also had stretches where we don’t know what we’re doing on both ends of the floor. And those are the ones that cost us. We got two days to get it right and be ready to win Game 3 on Thursday.”

“It’s different,” Siakam said. “I’m usually not a talkative person. And it’s something that in the past, in a different situation, it was always a hope that (I) talked a little bit more but I’m coming in, putting in the work every single day and leading by example. But I was challenged with this group to talk. It feels better when it feels like your voice is received well — once you talk, the guys are looking, hearing and feeling like they want to get whatever information you have. It’s been good, I enjoy it. It’s another part of my growth as a player.”

“His experience in the playoffs is so valuable,” Carlisle said. “He’s not a guy that’s going to get rattled by anything. Never has once, since January, since we got him. He’s a guy people confide in, look up to. He’s an important part of what we’re doing.” Leadership takes different forms and for Siakam, the journey to find his voice is as long as his winding path through the NBA.
