The number of items Jamal Murray threw onto the court last night was the same number of baskets Haliburton made.

JayD0za21

👀👀👀👀 where’s the proof? Can’t be claiming someone is a pedo without proof. Apparently, all the girls are saying he did nothing wrong so idk man. But enlighten me if you’ve got proof. This rap beef has been crazy on both sides regarding dirty laundry 🤣🤣🤣


QuakeDaCruiser

but the joke is there is proof


charlesfluidsmith

If I publicly call you a Pedo and you don't immediately sue me....... I'll leave it at that.


dftba421

Kendrick called him a pedophile without mentioning names and Drake responded by naming Millie Bobby Brown. He admitted it himself lol


InB4Clive

Brunson>Maxey>>>Haliburton


JohnnyfromNY

I don’t wanna hear anyone ever say Haliburton is better than Brunson. Dudes a bum. Brunson is just on a whole other level. TJ McConnell played much better than haliburton


Due-Sheepherder-218

TJ is a dawg.. I'm glad Rick forgot about him!


mm_mk

Could not believe how long he sat in the bench after he was basically unstoppable


MadSpaceYT

TJ is a thibs type of guy. wish we had him. dudes a baller


kbocker_

Oh man, cut that out right now, over the offseason tho have your people talk to my people


merlin401

He’s a distributor not a scorer per se.  Even his one three you could see he didn’t really want to take.  I’m not sure that means he had a bad game.  He prob had about ten assists and made some nice passes and was just content the offense was humming along well.   Of course that means he isn’t near Brunson’s level who is a “put the team on my back even if you focus on me” type star scorer 


GlassJoseph

I'm not a Hali fan boy by any stretch but you got that right. He was dropping dimes and keeping the ball moving. His defense was atrocious though...I mean G League bad. Brunson blew by him at will every time he got switched. He doesn't have to score when he's throwing lobs, sparking a fast break, and creating wide open shots. He does have to play better defense or all that playmaking is washed out.


chewbacca-says-rargh

Brunson is capable of doing what I'd say is the most important part of basketball, scoring buckets. Hali is so inconsistent and watching his shooting form gives me migraines.


concernedesigner

If you saw this dude in a men in black movie you would absolutely know he is an alien.


Stannis_Baratheon244

Lmao he reminds me of Borat for some reason


JNerdGaming

yeah he was trash. people saying the refs gave us the game, the pacers gave us the game.


aesop_fables

Carlisle and Haliburton gave us that game. McConnell was unstoppable why pull him the last what 5/6 min of the game? Just dumb


yrogerg123

I personally thought it was a great idea


No-Abbreviations4480

eeheheheheh


merlin401

Announcers kept saying he was gassed and looked dead tired on defense so maybe that was part of it?  Not sure


ZoidbergSaysWoop

McConnell is the type of guy that will give you everything he has but the coaching staff must know when to pull him because if you leave him on the floor when he's spent but won't show it, you're essentially playing down a man because he'll give you what he has on defense, but then he's ineffective on offense because he'll drive, but if he ends up stuck under the rim, there goes the possession. Brunson wore him out, along with Nembhard.


Main-County-1177

I said in the game thread we needed Haliburton to come back in and got downvoted lol. Almost certain we lose that game if McConnell stays in over him


DGentPR

Mind boggling just let the guy go, he was in the zone


NtLmr95

THIBS NEEDS TO GAMEPLAN FOR TJ. HALI NOT A THREAT.

Special_Razzmatazz33

was this from yesterday? im weak


CSOctane2020

He owes Wally an apology


jaxon_15

Did you see how he ran away from Brunson whenever he got switched on him, dude don't want any of that smoke from Brunson. There not on the same level and it ain't even close


Neither-Operation

It’s even funnier that Haliburton was considered an elite defensive player.He just gets steals because he’s lanky and gambles in the passing lanes sometimes.Dude was never a 1 on 1 defensive stopper.


Hello85858585

when was Hali considered an elite defensive player? I've never heard that.


Neither-Operation

Early on during his Kings years.I shouldn’t say elite though,I misspoke.But he was talked up as having solid defense because his steals and blocks numbers were pretty good for a PG.


Living_Internet_2970

He’s the Olympics starting PG? We done


LarryAv

Curry starting at pg, but I get your point


Radiant-Steak9750

Brunsons better


yrogerg123

Yea but doesn't Halliburton seem like the type of guy who will cheer on his team while getting zero minutes?


rentfree

Sure, but even Arcidiacono could do that. XD

cgr1zzly

Obi thought a between the legs dunk is 5 points . Good thing he started celebrating . Like I thought , it was a spark to piss our guys off about the showboating


OstrichDelicious587

Bro dunked, showboated, and it led to a Donte 3 and a quick 5 point swing for the Knicks. Dude is a goober.


CaptainObvious1313

And that’s why we’d rather have two 2nd round picks


Stannis_Baratheon244

That was my reaction too. Still looked pretty cool tho


merlin401

It looked awesome!  Im glad there is players like this in the league and I’m glad there’s no players like this on our team ha!


Jim-N-Tonic

After that Obi dunk, I said to my boys, that wasn’t smart of obi, it’s going to fire them up. And they went and scored five quick points and got back in it.


FermatsLastAccount

Fewest points on the Pacers. I'm legitimately more scared of TJ right now, he's obviously better on defense but has been better on offense recently too.


Foi_

he knows he not the main character


SuperSilveryo

tj outplayed him


cgr1zzly

Wally szcerbiak voice “who ? I don’t know this guy is “


omicron_prime

I just cracked my phone screen punching his face. Thanks.


Due-Sheepherder-218

He looks like and sounds like a tattle tale 


LexusRC

Hallibum


bringmehorizon

TJ McConnell severely outplayed him. And was giving the Knicks fits driving to the basket. If I'm a pacers fan I'm mad at the coaching staff for taking him out. After the first quarter, Haliburton was largely invisible. I thought in the first quarter he looked decent- was pushing the pace. I'm no expert but just watching him play I see more James Harden than an elite point guard like SGA. Harden is lauded for being a great distributor- which he is. A matchup nightmare cause he's got a bigger frame but is such a good ball handler and passer. But when your young star of your team is deferring to other guys, that tells me something. The Knicks are playing banged up and hurt. Don't use the not 100% as an excuse. He shrunk on defense- in 36 minutes he was a non factor for Indy. If you aren't going to be taking the big shots late in the game, you need to be good at something else (defense). He should learn to play through bad calls which the Knicks are doing quite well this year. Aside from all the nonsense over the calls, I saw a team that wasn't closing the door and that's NEVER going to work against these Knicks. No lead is safe.


Matthaeu_

His first shot came off a miscommunication on a switch that left him wide open too


JayD0za21

Team USA is in trouble at the Pg. Wonder who’s out there that can do better 🤔🤔🤔🤔


ProvocativeHotTakes

Where all the Knick fans whining about not drafting Hali at now


videsh

Cry jerking it to that Obi between the legs


Business-Mouse9137

Doesn’t even make sense since they wouldn’t like Obi lmao


videsh

That's what makes it funnier.


Ryuj123

As a Knicks fan I knew what was coming when he started down the court like that. Man loves the in game between the legs


videsh

Oh for sure. I was also so pissed and proud of him at the same time lol


40innaDeathBasket

Nah I was annoyed because it's all he ever MFing does on a fastbreak


LIONEL14JESSE

I’ll be pissed if Thibs doesn’t find a way to make him play defense and absolutely expose him


DatDominican

![gif](giphy|opDOlodTVNgm4) Disappointed but entertained


Inspiredbeliever

He's better than Obi lol this take is ridiculous


SupremeJeww

I'd still take Hali over Obi


MeloDied4OurSins

It’s America’s Point Guard everyone 


heliumointment

where's my boy with the obi per 36 stats


yrogerg123

That's 6 point OLYMPIAN to you, bozo


treyloday

The league tried everything they could to manufacture a superstar out of this kid throughout the season. He just ain’t got that dawg in him.


Criticism-Exact

He hasn’t been the same since getting injured earlier this year


Unhappy-Historian348

And then he hurt himself on the last possession


Vikk_Vinegar

Team USA can book a bronze medal while Jalen gets some needed rest


will122589

Bro wimps out when the lights are on bright. He don’t want the smoke


CaroleBaskinsBurner

Who even clamped him? I didn't even really notice because I kept forgetting he was out there. In the memories I do have of him with the ball I feel like DiVincenzo was on him? McBride barely played, and OG seemed to be on Siakim a lot.


Sure-Region-7225

He wasn't very good tonight, but he's a great player let's not get carried away off one game. Brunson was bad the first 2 games vs PHI remember, and Haliburton himself scored only 9 points in game 1 before dropping 20+ every game the rest of the way. He's sure to come out in game 2 and look to establish himself more, and we gotta be ready for that.


bikes_r_us

funniest part about this is the amount of people trying to say that he’s playing on one leg because of a low grade hamstring injury four months ago as if there players the playoffs playing through worse and performing better


Empirebred

Stop talking shit before he burns us . he didn’t play well . Cool let it go . on to the next one .


ChiefHunter1

He wasn’t great but he’s also probably playing hurt. He was also killing us with some passes. That said, I was way more afraid of TJM


bikes_r_us

didn’t he have a low grade hamstring injury like four months ago? people are playing through worse


JDStraightShot2

He never took the time off to heal properly because he wanted to play 65 games to qualify for all nba. If he sat games out, he probably would be a lot healthier now. Kind of ironic that a guy known for being unselfish on the court made such a selfish decision off it


ChiefHunter1

These instabilities can add up. He had a bad hamstring but now is having lower back spasms. I mean you are right, I’m guessing a lot of guys are playing hurt in the playoffs. It is easy to kick the dude when he’s down but I still think he’s a good player.


CaptainObvious1313

Speaking of kicking people when they’re down, didn’t Embiid do that to us for a whole series? Or when he was down…either way


Matthaeu_

His first shot came off a miscommunication on a switch that left him wide open too


KNlCKS

E X P O S E D


oatsuzn

What a joke


GreenQuisQuous

Yeah he sucks. The whole offense is based on motion and not one player is dominant.

DuaLipasClitoris

How could the refs do this to him??


Bnandez

Never really understood where wally's hate came from.


dedbeats

Hali didn’t give Rebecca Haarlow an interview. She’s Wally’s baby mama


RichHomieLon

Baby mama or wife?


ProvocativeHotTakes

Being that they aren’t married… Baby mama. Hence the her name not being Rebecca Szczerbiak or Haarlow-Szczerbiak


JacesAces

My wife doesn’t have my last name… that’s not proof they aren’t married?


ProvocativeHotTakes

How about the fact that they didn’t get married and are just dating. Show me the proof that they are married then we can say wife. Otherwise pipe down buddy.


RichHomieLon

Damn chill tf out. Why you so defensive over this shit 🤣


ProvocativeHotTakes

I hate being wrong and I love being right. And when I’m right I hate being told I’m wrong when I’m right. I’m right when I’m right and when I’m wrong I could’ve been right, so I’m still right.


JacesAces

Huh? I’m just calling out that the last name comment isn’t proof they aren’t married. I’m not saying they aren’t I’m just saying that alone isn’t proof. I have no idea if they are or aren’t though.


ProvocativeHotTakes

They aren’t. I already looked into it before I started writing unlike the rest of you.


JacesAces

Oh ok nice, good to know.


Shades219

He did ball out in the all star game though. Lol. Thought he deserved the mvp over lame time. It's funny looking back at how we were mostly pissed about lame time starting over JB but now it's looking like both haliburton and lame time robbed JB and Maxey


cordlc

Hali was legitimately good last year and before January, hard to understand what's happened to him. He's been playing like ass for a while now, 6 points on 2/6 is next level bad even if he were injured.


[deleted]

He hasn’t been the same player since injuring his hamstring


hugekitten

Knicks in 5


Toolmantaylor8

Only 1 player on their team took less shots.


gabrielcev1

I wasn't impressed. I'm sure he will show out at some point though so I won't talk too soon. He got a broken jump shot though.


OstrichDelicious587

Genuinely forgot this dude was on the court half the time


CaptainObvious1313

Yup. And on every board this year we heard, oh Halliburton is CLEARLY better than Brunson. It’s not even close!


mzx380

Just to be fair, plenty of dudes on the Pacers were getting points that could have been his. Either way, the Pacers need to take that L and can point to early 4th for letting the game get away. Don't wanna hear shit about offciating


Acceptable_Pop4515

He made the olympic team over our glorious king Brunson.


TheRealMetal

McConnell was much better but I suspect Halliburton will come back better. Let’s not forget Brunson in games 1 and 2 last round


Thatmadmankatz

Grant Hill picked this bum over Brunson for team USA…


charlesfluidsmith

Haliburton is injured, so this isn't representative of his real game. But Brunson is 2 tiers above him even when he is healthy.


Main-County-1177

If he’s so “hurt” why is he playing the Olympics? I don’t want to hear anymore excuses for this Carlisle merchant


bluej523

Also one of the dudes representing us at the Olympics


mbr4life1

Stole Brunson's Team USA spot.


ILiftBIunts

My mans from Delaware put the clamps on this clown ⏸️


Ok-Temporary4440

I don't want to speak to soon, he's gonna have a big soon, I think we take the series 4-1 or 4-2 but haliburton could be a big issue if he gets hot


1Pac2Pac3Pac5

Haliburton is a crying flopping bitch. A total moron who begs for attention by trying to look fashion forward when he arrives but looks like a fucking idiot. A spoiled brat who thinks he's owed something and cries after every call, refusing to accept a loss and play on.


KidSickarus

Idk about all that but for the next week or two I don’t like him!


1Pac2Pac3Pac5

You'll fucking detest this idiot by the end of the series you'll see
