  1. At this point if you’re shocked that Halliburton just doesn’t show up to play you haven’t been paying attention. This is who he is. You never know what you’re going to get from him game to game, it’s the most consistent thing you can observe about his mentality toward playing.

    1. He is clearly hurt. And also he isn’t a dude that we need to score 30+ points every game. His entire style is getting the team involved and making the best play possible. I can clearly tell that most of the new Pacers “fans” that just started watching them when they made the Finals with their brand new Pacers shirts and hats didn’t watch too many games in the regular season.

    2. lol. I became a Pacers fan when I went games with my dad at the Coliseum. Mic drop..
      Hurt are not Hali has been like this for two years. His inconsistency is what holds him back being a true star in the league.

    3. Correct. This has been a nice underdog run. When 18 of 29 turnovers come from the guard position in a critical home game….well, that pretty much hi lites some of the personnel weakness on this roster. Conservatively, if the Pacer front office is actually more intent on winning instead of having a ‘friendly fan roster’ they would need to upgrade the roster and bench with at least 5 free agents or trades. The upcoming draft will offer the Pacers nothing. They need better ball handling, shooting and rebounding across the board.
