With the NBA's preseason coming to a close, I think everyone is ready for the regular season and for the games to actually count. The good news is we continue to get more and more signs that the new season is upon us. From John Collins grabbing Dillon Brooks by the neck to Kristaps Porzingis tweeting about how he doesn't have HIV or AIDS, it's only going to get better from here.

Enter Tyrese Haliburton. I'm not sure if you guys knew this about Tyrese Haliburton, but apparently he thinks Ryan Rollins is a bitch. 

You heard the man. In fact, I don't think Haliburton could have been clearer. There's no mistaking what he's saying there, and you know what? It's kind of justified. Pushing a guy in the back like that in a preseason game is a little unnessecary, especially when that player is coming off an Achilles injury. I'm all for competition, but that's messed up in my opinion. 

When you watch the play, you see Rollins sort of body check into Haliburton's back as the shot goes up. He's not really making a play on the ball there. It's not as if he's actively crashing the glass trying to earn his team an extra possession. It's very clear what he's doing. I think we all have the same reaction when watching that clip. It's a dirty play and you're kind of a bitch if you do shit like that in a fake game. 

Was it because of Haliburton's beef with the Bucks and city of Milwaukee? Surely they'll react calmly to this. At the same time, I respect this about Tyrese Haliburton. He talks his shit. His reaction was 1000000x better than the fake HOLD ME BACK fights we usually get in the NBA. What's the comeback there for Ryan Rollins? There isn't one. You just have to take it. I think that's what I love most about it and why I have to side with Haliburton here. That's the guy I remember before the injury, and that's great news for the Pacers and their fans.
