Haliburton is a top 10 player and the very best pure point guard since Paul (clipper days) or Steve Nash
Jason "right?" Timpf
Pacers defense showing up in big moments!
Steve Nash wasn't nothing great. He was slightly above average.
Why did Giannis and dame hardly touch the ball in the 4th? It was mostly Middleton and Lopez seems fishy seems like this game was paid off in the 4th
Cs v pacers in the ist- c's were bad in the second half defensively. but they made him a non-factor in the first half
That said he’s a beast! N prob the first pg off my board if I was building a team from all nba players
Usually Myles is a now show when they play the bucks so I was shocked to see how many points he scored.
The Pacers win all of the important games. The 3 home games that they lost and want back recently don't seem to matter. They degrade opponents and will end up being the number 1 seed. They are 2.5 games back and are figuring it out finally. When they want to win, they win. I've never seen anything like this.
Ppl talk abt the backcourt defenders at the poa but if they have to guard wings poa is on the wing too. They have nobody there
Tyrese is way better than we thought. He might turn into all time great Point Guard.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa Jason. Calm down. It took you literally years to get on board with Jokic even after virtually everyone else recognized he was an all time great–his early advanced numbers showed he was on that path–and now Halliburton is an 'all time great' after 20 games this year and a strong showing in a meaningless tournament? The Pacers play no defense whatsoever and don't even attempt to do so. They're essentially the 80's Nuggets. Doug Moe would be proud.
Look at the bench points ENOUGH SAID 😮
Did Giannis add a hop step this year or did he have that in previous years and I just missed it?
Here in Indy, we said we didn't care about draft or free agency. Our summer would be considered a success if we were able to extend Haliburton. We got him all the way through 2029 without any 5th year option. He wants to be here and build something organically like he wanted to in Sacramento. We'll have a big summer on free agency coming up with alot of cap space, 2 firsts and our core under contract. Pritchard has been doing good work past 2 years.
Pacers want it more
I don’t think the Bucks did that bad of a job at defending him. They contained his scoring in the 3rd, and most of the 4th. Haliburton is so good that he finished with an efficient 27 anyways
Reasons why Pacers are underrated #1. Tyrese is special #2. Very good depth would play at least 9 if healthy in playoffs allowing for more rest time for key players. #3. Mentality: Pacers Basketball is an all for one, one for all mindset. #4. Young team, they have a lot of chances to get it right. #5. Growing talent: This falls in with number 4, but their best talent only has room to grow including Turner.
Good stuff.

Way too early to say this. All-time Greats are proven in the playoffs. We haven't seen that from him. One run in the in-season tournament and one great start to a year and we're already calling people all-time greats. This has to stop. Media hyping these people before we see much from them. They told me Ja was a better version of Russ and Rose before a playoff appearance. They're calling Wemby a 7'5 Durant before a single NBA game. They said the same for Chet. LaMelo was the next Magic Johnson. Zion was a mix of Barkley and Bron. Nick Wright had the audacity to call Luka the 20th best player in the last 20 years in Luka's fourth year. Mfer didn't even put Jokic on that 50 men list while Jokic had an MVP at the time and you had Luka, with no series victories at the time, making it to 20. This hype thing for young players gotta stop. The comparisons, the callouts for being greats and hall of famers. Luka is proven at this point as a talent but even he ain't that great already and all these other youngins ain't even proven yet.
Dame is obviously a pretty good scorer but he is also a big defensive liability.. if he’s not efficient as a scorer he’s a negative on the court.. we’ll have to see if he’s actually capable of being the 2nd player on a championship team
Im a big haliburton fan mostly because hes a real PG not a guy who is happens 5o beunder 6'4. Like I did with Nash I do take the numbers eith a grain of salt cuz theyre all offense and that system just multiplies every offensive category
Anytime my Pacers get coverage it's a damn good day. But THIS type of talk for one of our guys? Amazing
I thought Giannis and Haliburton were phenomenal they put on a show. Myles Turner outplayed Lopez he was a monster tonight.
Remember when we all said Sacramento gave away Halliburton for nothing, and nobody realized that he was available for so cheap, etc. and that Sabonis is much worse than Halliburton?
Then some people later said “nah, it’s more even than that.”
Well I still think (I bet most people still think) they shouldn’t have given away Halliburton for Sabonis. Sabonis’s ceiling is so much lower.
Is lebron in the mvp conversation right now?
haliburton is like that!
I’ll take it a step further. In order to have a chance against tyrece Haliburton you have to be good on all 3 levels of defense and you have to slow the tempo of the game down. The pacers two worst losses of the season against the Celtics and against the magic they made it as half court slug fest. I’ve been watching this team all year. I was at opening night. Any team that has tried to match them bucket for bucket hasn’t been able to keep up for 48 minutes.
im trying to figure out why poa defense wasnt a prob for you in the off-szn for bucks but now their szn depends on it. what changed??? what was unforeseen? WE NEED SOME ACCOUNTABILITY !😂
So did the bucks get “alpha dogged” by Tyrese or was that just the bs u had for the Celtics
I feel like we need to pump the brakes a little bit on Haliburton. He’s been amazing, but it’s literally been 20 games 😂 at least wait until he’s played in a playoff series
I just don’t understand why coach Griffin (who seemed lost) kept allowing the Bucks to keep walking the ball up the whole game. He didn’t make any adjustments after halftime to match the Pacers energy. Cam Payne should have been pushing the ball to break the Pacers half court press. Dame Dollar seemed disinterested even though he said he hasn’t got started yet! The team played lazy, sloppy, careless ball and deserved to lose
gotta see it for more than 20 games to call him a superstar but he is definitely a star, even last year
Ye the pacers are looking Clean 🔥
Dame getting Alpha dogged by Haliburton. I've seen enough. Give me this kid as the best guard behind Steph
Second coming of Penny Hardaway
Bucks offense decision making from their guards and Middleton after the massive run inthe 3rd quarter was not good at all
I prefer reaction shows over deep dives that are uploaded a day after the game. Great show overall.
Mail Bab Q: Most underrated/overrated player in each team.
Mail Bag Q: which team would be more dangerous – Lakers w Steph or Warriors with AD?
Expert who is too dumb to realize two of the Bucks best point of attack defenders are injured , Jae Crowder and Pat C . Oh well
Haliburton played great but he did not out okay Tatum and Giannis lol the difference was their team as a whole out played both opponents especially their role players
Bucks bench really failed to show up, and idk who can guard Haliburton since he even put Holiday on skates vs Boston
too soon honestly
When the Pacers beat Boston you really chastised Tatum for being bullied by other stars in big moments, but the Pacers just did the same thing to Dame and Giannis and you haven't given either of them nearly as much criticism. Not to mention, Giannis has been out done by the opposing superstar the past 2 or 3 years now. Got alpha dogged by Tatum and then Alpha dogged by Jimmy Butler the following year. You may say "Giannis was hurt", well so was Tatum on the first play of game 7 but you didn't give him really any leeway for that either
27/12/4 going GAMES without turnovers on 40-50-90 shooting splits is literally ELITE. Haliburton is serious
Does this mean you're putting Haliburton above players like Ant, SGA and Luka?
i knew haliburton had this potential, but i thought he’d just be a good scorer with GREAT passing. he has really taken his whole offensive game to a ridiculous level
Why don't you add video threads in your videos
Mailbag: Please look at the 3 Haliburton made with 48 seconds left in the game. He takes 6 steps before his final dribble and step back. Somehow, no one is talking about it. How much leeway does a rising star like Haliburton get from refs in the name of the NBA manufacturing a star?
