Except his experience is reality.

Yours is watching a TV from your couch. This dude is courtside and hears and sees more in 1 game than you do all season.

He also talks to other players and people courtside.

But you're right. You know more.

Hali is a big wrestling fan. He loves playing the heel when he's on the court.

He's a frontrunner. Talks mad **** when things are going well, quiet as a church mouse when things are going poorly.

No denying his clutchness, though. Each game winner/tyer more ridiculous than the last.

I hate him as a Bucks fan. Ironic since he's from Oshkosh and was almost a Badger. But respect the magic.

…who talks trash when they are losing? 0_o

This whole front runner thing is bizarre.

Sheppard was +14 in 7 minutes.

Last year in the seven game series, Sheppard was +41 in 142 minutes. What a luxury to Carlisle and the team to be able to have him as a break glass in case of emergency situation if Mathurin is playing poorly.

Here it is right here:

22 seconds on the shot clock 32.4 on the game clock up 5 Brunson picks up his dribble instead of dribbling to the 3pt line.. throws some crazy high bounce pass with top spin to OG that OG can't handle.. turnover instead of dribbling the clock all the way down and forcing Indy to foul him and hitting the 2 free throws to go up 7. Indy comes down and Nesmith hits another 3. That's the game.

Go to 2:18

You're right, I've never been to live Hali games being a Wisconsinite and Bucks fan. I'm not saying I know more. I just noticed/experienced a trend, not saying it is every single game, just a trend, that formed my opinion. You and Stephen A. Smith have differing opinions. These late game heroics are starting to change my opinion a bit, I must say. He backs it up.

Not trying to pick a fight.

They weren't even trying to foul him. Like what they hell? He could've dribbled it down to 12 seconds.

That shot reminded me of Freddie sonning the Yankees in game 1 of the world series. Destroyed that whole series. :lol:

Brunson played one of the crappiest good games I've ever seen. A lot of unforced errors down the stretch.

We kept rushing when we needed to slow the pace. At the end but also throughout the game. Pacers style of play kind of lulls you to match.
