WATCH: Patrick Beverley hits Tyrese Haliburton with “too small” celly in Game 5, backs up Game 4 trash talk with 12 assists

Milwaukee Bucks guard Patrick Beverley thinks that Indiana Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton is nothing but an NBA player that benefits from having the basketball in his hands for 40+ minutes per game.

The Bucks are playing without both Damian Lillard and Giannis Antetokounmpo but still managed to steal Game 5 from the Indiana Pacers on Tuesday night, winning 115-92. 

Beverley finished with 13 points and 12 assists while posting a game-high plus-minus of +36 and at one point in the first half, Pat Bev hit Haliburton with the “too small” celebration.

The “too small” celebration is always a fan favorite, even when it’s ridiculously given by a player like Patrick Beverley to a player like Tyrese Haliburton.

It was Patrick Beverley’s quote about Haliburton after Game 4, which the Pacers won 126-113, that went viral on social media.

“If I gave you the ball for 41 minutes, you would have ten assists also,” Beverley told a reporter of Haliburton, per ESPN.

To be clear, Pat Bev is talking trash about Haliburton’s ability to make plays which is funny because Haliburton led the NBA in assists this season with 10.9 of them per game.

This was just “classic shade” from Pat Bev who’s known for running is mouth like a psychopath but this time, Pat Bev backed it up by posting 12 assists in Game 5 paired with the Haliburton “too small” celly.

Pat Bev talking shit is something that everyone across the NBA and specifically here in Philadelphia are all too familiar with.
