Reporter: “Obviously, you hold yourself to a super high standard. I would imagine you’d probably want to play better these last few games, but how much do you look internal when it comes to these types of things? And also at the totality of just overall team performance?” Haliburton: “I play better, we win, so I’m just trying to figure it out right now. Obviously it’s frustrating, I never went through a slump like this in my life. But it’s all part of it, figuring it out. It sucks, everybody’s got the answer, but it’s about me figuring it out. So I just gotta be better, and I will be better moving forward. And if I’m not, we got other people who will be prepared to do it. But I gotta be better, that’s on me. I played 32 minutes, more than enough time to do what I do. I just gotta be better, point-blank.”

Haliburton’s in a slump, not 100% & needs help shouldering the load since the trades + injuries.
Since moving Hield, they’ve dropped from 5th->22nd in 3P%.

Clippers are gonna have to deal with Ant Simons, Tyrese Maxey, and Tyrese Haliburton for up to five games over the next ten days so there’s that – 10:15 PM

The crowd has come to life after Haliburton re-entered and nailed a 3-pointer, his first of the night, to make it a six-point game.
It’s the 13th sellout crowd of the season (17,274). – 9:03 PM
Scott Agness @ScottAgness
Haliburton has played the first 9+ mins in the 1Q and just picked up his second foul.
He has all six of the Pacers’ assists — and after their slow start, are now leading the Cavs 25-16. – 7:30 PM

More on this storyline

On building team chemistry with Pascal Siakam: “Yeah, I think it’s it’s been good, um, trying to like kind of learn on the fly. Like from the minute he got here we only had, and I was obviously still hurt, and then I came back the game he got here, and I got re-hurt. So just kind of having to figure that out, I was on a minute’s restriction, so our minutes together weren’t, you know, super heavy. It’s just like, it’s been like a fun process of just trying to figure out everything, uh, what makes the most sense and how we play and, you know, still being myself because I’m sure like you can relate.” -via YouTube / March 19, 2024
Tyrese Haliburton on adjusting without Buddy Hield: “Yeah, it’s been weird for sure. I mean, obviously, I knew at some point we wouldn’t be able to play together for my whole career, but obviously with the trade and stuff, it’s been different. And I think on the court is obvious, right, without him. He’s so prominent in our offense and what we do with a lot of ghost screens and the way that we move, and like his presence shooting on the floor like that opens up a ton for me because you know you’re not going to be as much in the Gap if you’re guarding Buddy because you know who he is as a shooter. So it’s been a little different on the court obviously, but I think off the court has been kind of the biggest adjustment for me.” -via YouTube / March 19, 2024
