Tyrese Haliburton one of the best playoff performers of this new generation?

I'd love him on my Spurs team.

Hali + Wemby instead of Fox would legit be a dynasty

Hali is the perfect archetype PG for Wemby

Hali is the perfect archetype for literally every player in the entire NBA.

This postseason alone he's solidified himself as the most clutch player in NBA playoff history

Haliburton is the man, i must admit i was a little bit of a hater at first when he was mightily struggling after the injury last year and early this year. But cant deny how amazing he is and the cajones he plays with. Super tough minded clutch performer. Best pure point guard in the league without a doubt. Actually just flat out one of the best players, period.

Oh and all you hear about is Allstar teammates when it comes to the Jokic fans. This guy has made back to back conferences finals appearances the last two years with only one allstar running mate in Siakam, and he was a reserve. Great stuff

Luka & Haliburton are by far the 2 best playoff performers in the league.

Brunson has literally been the highest scoring playoff performer in two straight playoffs now, and the highes in fourth quarter scoring, gotta include him if you're talking about top playoff performers

Fox over Haliburton will end up being one of the worst decisions in NBA history when it's all said and done

Fox over Haliburton and Luka.

To make it even worse, they don't even have Fox any more.

The Kangs are left paying 90+m to whomever you would consider the PG between DeMar, Monk and LaVine over the next two seasons.

He played great tonight and won the battle of two great guards. Until we meet Friday...

Yeah this realization only just struck me now.

The Knicks drafted Obi Toppin when point guard was a clear need at the time. Was it the brooklyn connection the reason they drafted Toppin?

Yep...If you only knew though.

And the funniest thing is, the majority, not all, believe in Vivek, they actually do, they think he has the best interests of Sacramento fans, and that even if he is meddling, he is doing the best for the city of Sacramento. Not just trying to play NBA2K. Except not even in NBA2K (I don't think anyway) you can just hire your daughter to be a GM.
At some point you just have to say, your just not the great fanbase people make you out to be. Otherwise you wouldn't put up with it. No one would put up with this. It's a disgrace and if you actively participate then you are absolutely part of the problem. Your a professional victim. You might love your team, but its not your team. Wake up.

Now Kings fans all over have to live with the reality that this dumpster fire picked the above average girl that wears a lot of make up to look hot, and eventually cheated on you, instead of picking the chick that didn't wear make up so wasn't on the radar as much, but was super attractive naturally, and always going to be the captain cheerleader. Oh, and she would always love you, be loyal and build the most memorable family ever.
That's what the Kings did. And this was 3 years after not picking what was looking like the hottest model on earth because a few people doubted a European model from Slovenia could become Miss Universe. Instead you went with the local girl that fooled everyone with a push up bra (quick jump).
I mean, how does a push up bra equate to winning in the bikini contest? Didn't they know she would get found out?

This. When people say that they need a PG, they are thinking of Haliburton. Not those Kentucky combo guards

He might be but I'll be honest.
I don't like the way he carries himself. He rubs me the wrong way. That choke thing was so unnecessary. They could have lost the game in OT. They can still lose the series.
It's game 1. Show some class dude.
His father was even worse at the Bucks series.
I mean, calm the **** down. That's the reason people hating on the guy although he's a great point guard. Do you need this for your career going forward? I don't know.
He has great clutch plays though and this must be respected.

iggymcfrack · Post #55 » by **iggymcfrack** » Thu May 22, 2025 9:04 am

The real question is, who's the most clutch player since Bill Russell?

Jordan or Haliburton?

I feel like it's a tossup.

You sound like a lame whiny hater. Booooo! Booooo! You got lucky and got a title last year when Pacers were hurt. You don't have to be a hater now.

Honestly, it's crazy. I don't think there's been a player that was this cocky, had this much swagger, and backed it up in the clutch every single time SINCE Reggie. It's like if Kobe played for the Bulls and was actually as good as Michael. It's nuts what mirror images they are of each other in the same jersey.

I mean obviously he thought he won the game with a walk off 3 but his foot was on the line. Quickly recomposed himself and his teammates when it was revealed his toe was on the line.

It really is crazy coincidence that he’s become the new age Reggie.
