Hield is still starting and is still horrid.
Carlisle is hilarious.
I consider this a Win. Wont show on the standings but we got the game ball 😂😂😂
Wish we still had James Johnson when drama like this goes down.
I just thought it was funny how dramatic Giannis was about it. Running around yelling, and dragging a dude while he runs into the hallway where the Pacers locker room is. The video seems super clear though, someone on the Bucks had the ball, and he got it while Giannis had his back to him.
The audio play heard the pacers players saying, don’t give Giannis the ball! That’s how arrogant and disrespectful it is! This should never happen! Pacers Vs Bucks will never over! They will meet 3 to 4 times a year and including playoffs!
How petty!! Way to go. First you rile him by trash-talking him. Now he's going to be even more motivated. Next time he will score 68 and make sure he keeps the Game Ball.
Haliburton in Borderline All NBA guard. He's already there as a passer and will soon be there as a scorer. But, he's already there as a flopper. He's all NBA there for sure.
It was the ball? I thought he was crying over the last piece of chicken.
petty a$$ franchise
The Bucks players and coaching staff were highly unprofessional and you could tell how butthurt they were losing in that IST game. Pacers 2 Bucks 1 😂
Bucks fans, players, and coaches let their emotions get the better of them after taking that massive IST L.
Love how “disrespectful” this was to giannis; meanwhile he clears 60 by playing the final 6 mins against pacers 3rd string w the game in hand. You don’t get to demand respect after that
Honestly I understand Giannis being upset, especially because it’s their home game… maybe there should be a conversation from now on between coaches about the game balls so this doesn’t become a thing, also security should probably beef up so Giannis isn’t dragging them around literally 😂😂😂
This was so petty. Just give him the game ball. Believe me, Giannis will be extra motivated from now on against the Pacers.
The very few minutes we played two bigs (Myles & ijax) we looked great & made them go small—then Carlisle gave it up🤦🏻♂️. And as far as the damn ball—everyone & mostly Giannis need to grow up.
The bucks were so supporsed to win tge ist game. The media was upset. The bucks. We can only get to the playoffs if we beat the team.were playing and the refs.
Equipment manager was fired after a 4 wheeler accident.
100% petty by pacers
I’ve seen so many bucks spins with the dumbest take about this. I don’t see a world where a 7 foot tall man should ever act like a four-year-old lol 😂
Wretched putrid defense. I know Giannis is a beast and it's easier said than done, but if u can't stop his spin move you've gotta put him on his butt. U think Brooke Lopez would let Giannis waltz in like that? F no. He's already shooting 30+ free throws, you've gotta foul harder underneath. He's a big boy and he chooses to play that way he can take it.
Edit: to b clear I'm not saying get the guy while he's in the air or something like that, I'm saying you've gotta hack him hard before that so that he doesn't just power through the contact and score anyway.
So your dude didn’t even score a bucket lmfao he hit a FT.
Try to be objective here:
1. Not a misunderstanding. Deliberate petty slight against Giannis. Pacers players screaming “hold that ball don’t give him the ball”
2. Can visibly see assistant coach slink away with the game ball with an actual smirk after giannis asks for the ball after which Giannis chases after him
Your pacers took the ball to piss him off. Fk around and find out. That’s all there is to it.
Tony, how are not pissed at Milwaukee for running up the score…and crying like babies for a damn ball!!! I tell you what; no man is going to scream at me while pointing his finger in my face!!!
I’m glad the Pacers got under the Bucks skin and irritated the hell out of them! The Bucks tried to Bully the Pacers…and this is now a rivalry!!! Pacers need to toughen up and not back down against the Bucks!
Carlisle needs to play a 2-3 zone…and stay in the paint…and give Giannis hard fouls…he will earn EVERY free throw if I was the coach!!!
Giannis doesn’t impress me at all!!! He gets bailed out a lot by refs and takes 30 seconds to shoot free throws (that’s why the game took too long)…and he travels a lot but doesn’t get called for it!!!
Bottom line…Pacers can own the Bucks and take over the central!!! All they have is Giannis getting star treatment from the refs and Dame! Is not a tough matchup!!! Just play 2-3 zone sometimes…and start getting Giannis in foul trouble…I would have Mathurin attack the paint constantly!!!
Let me stop watching this video…I’m getting pissed listening to Tony giving the Bucks all this loving praise!!! I’m built different…Pacers better man up and fight like hell against the Bucks from now on!!! We got ourselves a rivalry gentleman!!! 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
R.I.P. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿 George McGinnis
Next time we play them, just have Oscar sit on the bench with a random ball. 😂😂
Extremely uncalled for guys, its Bucks home game and giannis building. A pacer rookie is not the Bucks concern. It was petty and immature, like come on the man just made history. We dont even know the rookie yet.
Someone from Bucks who has the balls should stand up and clarify they got the real ball!
Jae Crowder was the other buck
Well if I'm the pacers players I'm not so sure with Bobby. He's more known for shattering guys faces than simply jawing.
Will enjoy a new rivalry.
Well from a pacers fan I officially hate the Bucks more than any team now .. there fans and players are bitches
Lol loved the joke in the beginning. Just the idea of Pacers giving Giannis a fake and handing the real one to you
Trash 🗑️ franchise y’all should be embarrassed 😂 win a ring better yet make the playoffs
As a bucks fan , disappointed in Giannis. This was a bad look for a player who is one of the faces of the league. Just simply frustration that the pacers no longer lay down for the bucks . And that the bucks will have to play 4 quarters to beat them now .
They looked like a bunch of thugs to me. Tyrese is way classier than them. I felt bad for Tyrese apologizing over and over.
Giannis is nothing without a ref. 32 FTs and cried afterwards. Mad cause it took 3 tries to beat us. Hard to respect giannis after that.
