Tyrese Haliburton: Celtics Are BEST Team in NBA | Pacers Postgame Interview 1/6/24

Tyres are of course a good defensive team but they’ve held you guys to two of your lowest three-point totals all season I mean is there something specific they’re doing that is making it so tough for you guys to score no we missed plenty Shots tonight we missed a

Lot of shots I mean they are a really good defensive team um but we shot a lot of shots that we like and uh I mean I go back and watch film so I could really tell you but I felt good with a lot of the shots we shot today uh just doing

Capitalize on them mostly just answered this but two of your poor shooting games also against them you had the five in the game you didn’t play in Boston so you do like the looks you’re getting it’s not something they’re doing defensively on the threes is are their

Contests good what do you feel like is no I love the looks we again Aaron missed seven that’s probably not going to happen again buddy missed a few open ones I missed a few open ones it’s life make a Miss uh they’re a good defensive

Team they got a lot of different guys a lot of different guys who can defend they’re probably you know probably the best defensive team in the NBA I don’t know what the numbers say but um I felt comfortable with the shots we were getting we just didn’t didn’t capitalize

What was the difficulty of the Cross matching tonight with the starters you had with more sides but they have all the wings they can always have out there on the floor yeah it’s it’s a interesting um contrast of of two basketball teams and um you know we just

Didn’t get enough stops down the stretch when we needed to didn’t capitalize when we got in our runs in the third quarter to get it going and had an ugly start to the fourth and that kind of uh carried on when the when the you know when we

Came in so um you know we got to clean some stuff up but feel comfortable where we’re at we’ll be fine I imagine you didn’t see much different in terms of schemes in terms of how they came after you but obviously Derek White’s one of the tougher Defenders you have to deal

With just what made him uh just kind of tough to get around I guess and get some of the looks that you usually like yeah I mean he’s a good Defender he’s in the right spots uh they got a lot of long wings uh D white and Drew are probably

You know two of the best on ball guys in the league um and they got long Wings around you know kind of flying around and stuff so it’s a good defensive team good challenge uh look forward to playing them on Monday was this I guess the one of the worst scenarios that you

Could have be missing Bruce and Andrew for I gu guess is that made it a particularly tough match up I guess to take those two guys off against this group yeah I mean those two of our elite point of attack Defenders our best you know two of our best defenders so

Missing them of course hurts but next man up and um you know just got to be prepared T what do you view then as the the overall lesson learned from tonight’s game going into Monday uh I mean we didn’t rebound they outrebounded Us by what 21 I think yeah

Or 19 outrebounded us make shots bad recipe to win games didn’t get enough stops so I mean we I feel comfortable where we’re at I’m looking forward to um to Monday to compete again and that’s a really good team so it’s good to see where we stack up against you know the

Best team in the league and um you know continue to chip away it’s all part of it the good thing is we play him on Monday and so we just got to be ready for that on a different note can you kind of describe your relationship with

Drew hanlin and how much of a resource he has been not just every game but the last couple of years yeah I mean he’s my trainer we spent a lot of time together really valuable for me and in my life and has a lot to do with the success I’m

Having so um we are are very close we talk a l the time I’m sure we’ll work out he’s he’s out here till uh till we leave for the road trip so I’m sure we’ll get some workouts him but yeah we’re very close he has a lot to do with

My development and uh good to have him have him here today you’ve obviously stayed close with OA I know I saw you talking to him after the last game here I guess he obviously came come through for them tonight five offensive rebounds just you know would impress you about

What he’s done basically and you know you remember how important he was obviously for you guys when he was around yeah I mean that’s my brother one of my best friends were’re really close spend a lot of time together talk pretty much every day on the phone so uh good

To see him succeeding I mean not not against us but um you know he’s has a special gift when it comes to rebounding the basketball he does that in Elite level um and good to see him get into some minutes I think the the great thing about Jay is he’s always prepared stays

Ready when is when his numbers called and uh good to see him having success and like I said yeah that’s family so um just good to see him doing well than
