If you were in charge of the Indiana Pacers, who would you start with Tyrese Haliburton out?
Nembhard
Benn
Buddy
Nesmith
Turner
Maybe this will be a good thing, it’s suck, sad, but maybe this will push the players even more especially the BENCH players
This injury may derail Haliburton's chance at the ASG this year. He is an all star for sure I believe the NBA and its players know this but he"s missing a crucial stretch before the break to get fans attention. Next man up for the Pacers. Gotta find a way to win. If they can stay .500 or better while Halliburton is out that'll be a win in my eye. The NBA at any given time is made of the 400 or so best players in the world. Start Nemb and Math together.
Now if Nembhard is our pg in the starting lineup he needs to watch those fouls cause TJ has to have fresh legs to run the second unit
Thank God there was no ligament damage!!🙏🏻 Tyrese deserves to be an all star, and I’m hoping this doesn’t put any more obstacles in his way to achieve that!
I’m not super worried for the team though, Nembhard would be a starting point guard on a lot of teams in this league. And maybe this will give Myles a chance to average 30 and 12 so they can extend him already!!😂
Obviously Tyrese will be missed. Glad it's only 2 weeks.
Here are some positives for any Pacer fans that are overly concerned.
Memphis were 19-2 without Morant last year and beat Golden State game 5 by 40 points in a playoff game without him. Barely lost the other 2 at Golden State. They ended up losing 2 more at end of season without Bane and when seedings were already locked up. But for the most part 19-2 WITHOUT Morant. They beat OKC by 78 points that's not a typo WITHOUT Morant then lost like 3 weeks later WITH Morant at home even. I'm almost positive it was at Menphis and the home crowd actually booed Ja Morant.
Dallas won 2 games in the first rd of the playoffs without Luka against Utah. Put Brunson on the map and got him a 100 million dollar contract from the knicks.
Opportunity for A good team to become a great team if they can come together and win games without him. Only makes Pacers that much better when He comes back. A chance for a couple of our players to get more minutes and to get themselves a pay day come free agency. Lots of players on this team have under performed this year. Absolute great chance for them to step up and get their confidence back. Mathurin could score 30 ppg if he gets 35-40 minutes. Teams will be expecting an easy win so that might work to our advantage as well. Time for some players to step up. We all know who they are. This is their time
