The 'Tyrese Haliburton Offense' Is Legitimately Breaking NBA Basketball.. | Indiana Pacers News

It’s actually quite endearing that their new identity coincides with their name. I don’t know if any other team could have that.

​@king_supreme1102 the hornets exist only to grant suffering onto others and nobody likes them

[@king_supreme1102]

What’s weird is, nobody is on a crazy hot streak or playing way above expectations (besides Tyrese but this is really just who he is). Turner is the same as last season, Mathurin isn’t as productive as last season, Hield has been on a cold streak, Toppin has just been ok. Nesmith and Smith have improved but those are just 2 bench players. This makes me think that they can sustain this offense, because they’re not relying on a scorching hot run. This is just who they are normally tbh.

[@Braylenc123]

yeah, they have guys that can step up and give you good production. as long as haliburton is there they will be a productive offense

[@BenjaminNeah-yq4cy]

​@@Braylenc123QQ😊😊😊q!

[@Colinkrauss1]

Yup. There’s nothing unsustainable happening. This is just the product of having one player that can create a very high quality shot every play who also never tries to do anything other than create a high quality shot. No heat checks. No taking plays off. Hali’s only goal is creating a high quality shot. And he does it relentlessly regardless of who is guarding him, when in the game it happens, who is catching his pass… It’s getting difficult to comprehend the level of offense he’s generating right now. Edit: Compare Indy to Dallas this year. They are the other top 2 offense, 1 point behind Indy (122.2 to 121.0). Dallas’s top 7 players in minutes are shooting 201-497 on threes, 41%. Pacers top 7 in minutes are 148-378, 39%. Indy is so nuclear on offense, that even with a little less help from three pointers, they’re still a whole point better. If anything, it’s fair to predict the gap between the Pacers and everyone else will get wider as shooting regresses towards the league average 3pt%.

It’s because Tyrese literally decides everything on offense it’s hard to play that way but ig they know what there doing

What's surprised me most about the Pacers' offense is they've finally figured out how to score when faced against zone defenses. This has rounded out their game to such as degree that they can now play a 3-pronged offense - post, mid-range and perimeter - and be practically unstoppable because defenses have a hard time guarding all 3 methods of play.

The last time a team had a top 5 half court half court offense and transition offense goes all the way back to…….last year’s Kings Kings and Pacers are linked in so many ways now. I don’t care who “wins” it but when both teams are contending it’s going to go down as the greatest and most impactful trade in modern NBA history and blueprint for how small market teams build contending teams.

This type of play reminds me of how people were saying that the nuggets were the model team. They took Jokic and built a team around him of role players. That team made it to the playoffs off of that. The Pacers are doing the same thing with Tyrese now. They are building a team specifically around him and his playstyle. I know this is not a novel concept, but they are doing it well enough that I felt like it had to be mentioned

[@Grievous_]

Tyrese Haliburton NEW POINT GUARD this generation 💯

[@willdudley8683]

Real ones knew the Bruce Brown contract was great from the beginning. It's a two year with the second being a team option so they can choose to keep him or let him go after this season. It was a lot of money, but Pacers have a lot of rookie and cheap contracts so they had to hit their salary minimum. It doesn't hurt them in any way, shape or form. Besides that Bruce has been on great teams and a championship culture. He's not great at one thing, but he does everything well so you can essentially plug and play him in any lineup. That fits well with the Pacers deep bench and numerous combinations of lineups.

[@Hoopermagic3]

Except the Magic (#1) defense spanked them the other night 😮

[@Gebohhh]

Haliburton is from Oshkosh Wisconsin he went to college in Milwaukee. If u live in Wisconsin you would know he’s the best player to ever come out of this state ever And by the end of his career it will be proven
