The Pacers Have A Tyrese Haliburton Problem...

Tyrese Haliburton has not been the same player for months for the Indiana Pacers, and against the Milwaukee Bucks that is a HUGE problem...

[@kazamaarashi1113]

He came back too early from a hamstring injury in order to get the 65 game and minutes requirement. Similar to James Harden, was still playing at an MVP level but got a hamstring injury in the playoffs vs Bucs and tried to play through it, hasn't been at that level since. These players are so used to a range of motion for years, that rushing a hamstring injury completely eliminates. That's why Harden has stretches were it looks like he lost the ability to score despite still having a great handle and reliable jumpshot. His blow bys and stepback are significantly effected.

[@laceup62]

That's a huge over exaggeration of Harden or hamstring injuries. Harden decline comes from a bunch of things the biggest one being his age. Hes well past his prime. Also he spent his whole career learning how to take advantage of foul calls and get to the line then all of a sudden the nba implemented 4 new rules to stop that (which I personally like) so of course after 10 years of playing one way his scoring going to go down. Lastly his decline is also because since leaving Houstan he has never been the number 1 scoring option. He is talented enough to change his play style from a ball dominant scorer to an awesome playmaker.

[@GODfaV]

Everybody is injured this time of year.

[@CentralValleyKings]

Wtf dude every star player is playing same amount of games and playing through injuries . I said his flaws were he is not physical enough or aggressive enough to go at the rim so just jam him on the 3 point line I called it last year and mid season playoff games are different. He is not aggressive or going to the hole because he will get injured

​@Antman_9602 not to discount giannis' greatness but those are 2 VERY different injuries

[@DOGUICRF]

As a pacers fan, I was desperate when I saw them rushing him back from injury. His injury was pretty simple, the only thing that could go wrong was not waiting until he is 100%.... and that's exactly what the pacers did. In the 1st game back he reaggravated the injury, missed a few more games and then came back a shell of himself to get the 65 game threshold. But now, not only has that affected his body, but a unique feature that he had, that seemingly 'unshakable' confidence and positive mentality is also gone, and thats the most concerning to me. Yesterday he seemed unwilling to be our primary ball handler and creator. The ball was as a hot potato in his hand, passing too quickly, not trying to drive or shoot. I'm terrified this goes on and Siakam leaves in FA.

[@NBAsharp33]

It takes a full year sometimes when you stop playing at the same intensity to be "100%" back

[@uwannasee_greatness]

Doubt many of the people that flat out took the Pacers over the Bucks are shaking, but last night added an other layer to the series. If Haliburton is not 100%, Pacers are in trouble. Siakam last night had 36 pts, but was taking midrangers all night. Maybe the Pacers wont shoot as bad as they did again, but this team was 30% from 3 in their four wins against the Bucks. Again, cant overreact to one game, but man...

[@marcwilliams3692]

The most glaring change is him shooting like 30% from 3 when he as always been an elite shooter. Its hard to say "this is just who he is"

[@Zinger3030]

Haliburton, Nembhard, Nesmith, Turner, McConnell. You could attack anyone. They were all absolutely horrible. Siakam was great. I think that Siakam has consistently exposed how awful the rest of the team is. Hield, when he could hit, helped identify the team. This team doesn't have an identity. The issue with Haliburton is that he is AFRAID TO SHOOT now. How can someone play well without confidence? I would like to first attack Nembhard, and lastly attack Nembhard. He should not be in the lineup. He is a ball hog, and tries to play hero ball. That is a Rick Carlisle problem. That is bad coaching. If someone is hogging possessions, you take them out of the game. Who won the title is Dallas? It wasn't Rick Carlisle. He seems to be an average coach to me who takes action too little too late. It is win now, not learn a lesson from a loss. That is the ultimate issue, Rick Carlisle.

It's already over for this year but now they have to look forward. This off season they have to all get together and learn to play together.

[@DarkSideMaceWindu]

First, he just isn't quite as good as he was playing every in the season. He was always gonna fall back to earth a bit. More importantly his stupid ass should has sat and gotten healthy instead of being worried about All NBA. He punted the postseason for his team being more concerned about individual regular season achievements. But i feel he's gonna be like Embiid where every year the narrative is gonna be like " If Haliburton was 100%" or " If Haliburton was healthy". He's already had injuries issues just about every season and i don't see that changing much as he gets older.
