Talen played on a team that won a title. If Hali plays like he did tonight, he could actually win a title

Gosh how I wish that voting and voters got leaked. Would be epic story.
Pretty sure it's Bucks and Knicks players getting pooped on, Hali looking like future of team USA
I got to looking up future of this tnt A broadcast team. Reggie going NBC while Harlan and Van Gundy going to Amazon nba coverage although on separate broadcast teams.
Is there anyone who still believes Tinsley is better ball handler than Haliburton?
Why does one have to be better than the other - they’re both awesome and playing in very different eras.
Depends what you mean. If you are talking about breaking a defender down with the dribble one on one I think Tinsley was better. Tinsley wasn't a good shooter or finisher, and too often would make bad decisions with the basketball. But you could not keep him out of the lane one on one. That's what got Tinsley in the league. That's not really Hali's game, though he can definitely do that with the right matchup. Hali is so much better at all the other things you want in a point guard it doesn't really matter.
Agreed they do different things. People need to see the clip of Tinsley putting on Harlem Globetrotters display at home against Colorado back in the day.
Tinsley pulled off some flashy moves against weaker competition—like dribbling between a defender’s legs—but can he create his own shot or break down a defense off the dribble the way Haliburton has in this year’s playoffs?
You missed our general point that we both said they are different players. Obviously TH is much better offensively.
Why do we have to tear down one of our own against another?
Siakam is a very elite player but if Indy were to win it all there’s a better than 50% chance Tyrese is finals mvp and with a few exceptions those are all time legend players.
I still prefer the Johnny Orr Floor.Love Hali but I love Hilton. Maybe Haliburton Court
Yeah, Siakam is a guy that can explode in a game or two, but Tyrese is going to be a major contributor every game.
Johnny had a quote one time when they named Missouri's court after Norm Stewart. Something like "Norm has his name on the floor but I've got a statue."
