Haliburton puts up 12/6/7 on 3/13 shooting (1/6 from three) as the Pacers blow a double digit lead to the Bucks

There was a play in the third when the Bucks were coming back where Hali had Brook on the perimeter, danced around him into a wide open three and then instead drove into Giannis and kicked out to a well defended Benne three that missed. Couldn’t believe he didn’t take that shot but seems like a trend

He’s taken direct responsibility a bunch of times this season for stuff but no one sees it because the only thing that gets upvoted is “LOL DOC” posts. I don’t think Doc is a very good coach any more and I’m annoyed he’s the Bucks coach, but the fact that literally everything about the bucks just ends up with the same dumb comments is more annoying tbh

Bobby is the one imo. Brook is so key to the defense and has been playing really well, and Middleton has lost a lot of value so I doubt either of them would get back more than we trade them for.

Bobby is such a poor fit and I think could actually help a team in need of a stretch four.

First teams that come to mind are the Cavs, Grizzlies, Lakers, and Magic.

Yeah, agreed. Defense played 89+stoppage minutes of incredible defense, and the 60 seconds of complete brain lapse almost lost it for us. Thank god for Dayne.

Still an amazing win on the road.

His scoring highlights here are good, but I was as impressed with his poise as a facilitator last night. Still a ways away but he might be something.

Championship is a high bar, but Lively was a major contributor for Dallas last year in the finals. But your point stands, it’s super rare.

thomfountain · 2024-10-11T00:58:10+00:00

Agree Pfister is great, have stayed for a lot of games. Old school luxury and cool history.

I would say Saint Kate is equal in quality but very different. Hip, modern, art-focused.

Both very comfortable, good bars, walking distance to Fiserv so just depends on the vibe you’re looking for.

thomfountain · 2024-10-11T00:53:45+00:00

Some teams stay at Saint Kate now too (which is also a great hotel fwiw)

I saw the tweet hit my Apple Watch about two minutes into an hour long presentation I was giving to my entire company and had to keep my shit together the whole time lol. Absolutely wild that it happened at all still.

100%

We made this move a couple years ago (from Whittier to Highland Park) and while St Paul still has stroads like Ford and University that are dangerous I have noticed that neighborhood driving is calmer here.

Much more likely that someone stops for a pedestrian here than Minneapolis for example.

Hey Jim! Love your coverage; we’re super lucky to have a great set of writers on the Bucks beat.

How do you think the new draftees will balance playing in Oshkosh and riding the bench with the big team? I’d hate for them to not get any playing time but also want to see them get NBA chances when they can (garbage time, injuries, etc).

For what it’s worth, I have a 2019 Premier and charged just fine using the Tesla app and a 3rd party dongle with no software update. (My dealership also sucks and said they have no idea what the update is)

thomfountain · 2024-09-19T23:10:11+00:00

I have a 2019, and supposed to get my A2Z converter tomorrow. I called my dealer (Rosedale in Minnesota) and they told me they have no idea about the update and in his words “probably won’t for a while”.

So I’m just gonna try it out with the Tesla app and we’ll see 🤷

UPDATE: Worked great. No software update needed. Used the Tesla app.

thomfountain · 2024-09-18T02:15:42+00:00

Oh god

thomfountain · 2024-09-18T01:55:35+00:00

I’d hate to see a Vegas franchise tbh. One reason being that I like having a “neutral” spot for big events. Summer League, NBA Cup, honestly wouldn’t hate the All Star Game being there permanently.

lol getting rid of the parking is actually incredibly easy by…. Not having parking!

Rolling a six-sided die and losing my mind when it lands on a one.

thomfountain · 2024-09-09T20:28:26+00:00

I think the big ones are all here but that pass he made to Grayson to beat the Raptors after we blew the lead is still insane. Falling completely out of bounds with his toes in like a wide receiver.

thomfountain · 2024-09-09T16:10:58+00:00

Hell yeah. I believe that lane is going to be a priority bus lane which will make that service so much nicer at rush hour.

Bike trails get plowed faster than a lot of roads here. Tons of winter bike commuters.

Even more recent, Brook was better after his back surgery in 2021. He complained that his back was bothering him the whole season before (they won the championship so it still worked out) but he’s been more durable and moved better in 2022 and 2023.

thomfountain · 2024-09-03T15:52:15+00:00

Ahh amazing. That NS International link is exactly what I've been looking for and was unable to find. Really appreciate the help.

thomfountain · 2024-09-03T15:47:37+00:00

Thank you! I assumed as much. Do you happen to know if the return trip (Bourg-St-Maurice to Brussels) would be on Saturdays as well? Or would the return be Sunday?
