Honestly I don't think Pacers will have this opportunity again next season. Like you guys also mentioned, they won't have Haliburton in the first place because of achilles injury. Sad

With whom they are going to fill his space? Siakam can't take full responsibility there. He is good but not enough to carry the team by himself. We saw it in the finals while Haliburton was injured.

Being beaten by OKC had nothing to do with Haliburton being injured, just look at game 6 where he had 4 points in 34 minutes. Tongue

I think they can still be a good team, even without him. He is solid but not yet the guy you can rely on all the time, he showed it in the finals where in 7 games (or 6 because of the injury) he only had more than 20 points 1 single time.

You’re right when it comes to overall stats of Haliburton. However is heavily guarded by the best defender of OKC while giving his teammates an opportunity to play well against their defender.

His clutch shots that often lead to game winning and creating play to assist or score is what Haliburton main weapon.

Losing Miles Turner for me personally will have a bigger impact and unless they find a good replacement for him it MIGHT become a long season.

Agreed. This what I don’t understand to Pacers. They don’t have Haliburton anymore this season while they allow to let go their good center that has can do 3.
