Tyrese Haliburton Spoiling Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Monstrous Effort Has Bucks Loyals Seeking Help Before Trade Deadline

Indiana Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton decimated Giannis Antetokounmpo‘s effort for the second time this season. In the first outing, the Haliburton-led Pacers offense pinned down Giannis’s 50-pointer game. Similarly, in tonight’s game, the 23-year-old spoiled the Bucks spearhead’s triple-double, igniting chaos in the Bucks Nation. The loyal Wisconsin fans took to social media to seek help before the trade deadline.

The Bucks faced a similar issue in the last season. The Greek-Nigerian baller shouldered the side to the first seed of the East. But ended up losing in the playoff’s first round against the 8th seed, only because Giannis injured himself mid-series. The team always lacked depth and tonight’s game against the Pacers ignited a wildfire.

Fans explode as Haliburton denied Giannis Antetokounmpo

While fans expected the inclusion of Damian Lillard to be an answer to the depth issue, it doesn’t seem to have solved it. One of the fans even requested to make trades in the comments.

Giannis dropped 30 points with 18 rebounds and 11 assists and Haliburton competed against it with 26 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists. But the result favored the Pacers because the visiting side had an all-round performance. Meanwhile, the Bucks bench failed to make the desired impact. They scored 16 points and the Pacers’ bench dropped 70 points with 12 assists, leaving the fans’ jaws drop. In response to the disastrous performance, fans marched together on social media comments with all kinds of requests.

Ugly game. Dame will be better but the bench is a big red flag right now. The trade deadline will be eventful

They have literally no bench. And Beasley isn’t a legit starter. Bucks needs some moves.

Bench played awful. Turning point in the game was when Jackson initiated that little fight in the first quarter. Refs started calling EVERYTHING to try to reign it in and it hammered what the Bucks were doing big time.

Bobby Portis Jr. scored 8 points with 4-12 FG and Pat Connaughton dropped 3 points in his 24-minute stay, which definitely didn’t impress the fans.

Coaching is a bigger red flag than the bench. People don't wanna admit, but they will. Ag is limited, he has no idea what to do and he is doing what hes told, im sorry but i cannot respect that . If the coach is limited, the team is
