Primero😂
You cannot be the kings and regret trading him I do not care he’s been playing at a top 5 level numbers are crazy as well and just took down the favorites to win it all it felt like a playoff game hats off to him
Where’s the Fox love like this
Tyrese Haliburton is what everyone thought Lonzo was gonna be
“It felt bigger” – pause
This angry lesbian does make some great points.
This tournament is going to do to someone's legacy what the dunk contest did for Vince Carter
O'Conner is right, Porzingis is the X Factor. Pacers got great switches for Turner all night that were driving me nuts as a Cs fan. I thought it was a great game, and that Indy just wanted it more. Cs will be fine, 15-5 is a 60 win pace. Be back rolling here shortly.
remember when media decided triple doubles didnt matter for that two year period where russ averaged one😭
& they traded this man for sabonis. I mean fox is big time but that's gotta hurt.
The way verno says 'game' makes me it off
Jordan walsh would of helped the celtics
In this pod, KOC was surprised Rockstar ''announces'' a game 2 years before launch. I mean come on, they announced games 7 years before launch these days. Elder Scrolls says hello.
Dude with the white headphones is high as hell and not green high opiates high😅
Wouldn’t compete in the west
The Kings trading this dude is unforgivable
Second half was crazy from haliburton. But how had he never had a triple double before? That’s crazy to me.
O'Connell minutes were strong af, dorks
Bill called off for this one huh 😂😂😂😂😂
That Nesmith dunk is an all time Pacers moment. The crowd literally lost their mind.
One of the biggest What Ifs is the suns passing on him for Jalen Smith in 2020 when they desperately needed another PG. Book and Haliburton 🔥
