    Guess it’s good to have home court advantage in this series!!

    Bet the Knicks win tonight on the road to flip the script in the other series. 
    Ha! Good call on the Knicks.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    Big bounce back win by the Thunder tonight. Randle with another dud of a game with five points. Lu Dort is making Anthony Edwards miserable.

    Well, he's only 23 yet so it's going to be a few years before they stop talking about it.

    I still say he's the real deal.  He's only going to get better.  He did make all nba 2nd team this year.  

    That OKC team is just stacked and He is having a bad series.

    I would like to repeat to please stop w the false narrative that Halliburton is overrated.

    Thanks

    I was watching Get up the other day and they were arguing if Haliburton was a superstar or not.  One argument is that he brings the Pacers to a long playoff run but his numbers are otherworldly.

    I say he is.  He just does things right.  More like a Duncan type player.  Not too flashy sans the choke symbol, lol.

    Haliburton is for real. 8 months ago, I probably would have laughed if someone was trying to hype him up, but he's showing he's got what it takes and is elevating his game.

    He is one of the guys I do hype and yes people have laughed at me.  When that poll about overhyped players came out and he topped the list everyone took that as gospel.  I tried telling people, watch him play, you'll think differently.

    Glad you can see the talent this dude has and yes, a triple double with NO TURNOVERS!

    This has probably been tossed around in the past, but listening to the end of the Wolves - OKC game was so anticlimactic and frustrating because of the fouls to stop the Wolves from attempting a 3 to tie. I was wondering why they even allow that at this point and then saw this article today. I like several of the options this guy throws out and it would make the end of the game so much more exciting. Quit taking the ball out of the players hands for us to watch a free throw-a-thon.

    Haliburton plays basketball like Jar Jar Binks fights ... Sith drunken fist force trained user.  Seems to work.

    He definitely has an unorthodox looking shot, but the guy is a baller.

    In that case, you’ve been missing the GOAT.
