If you followed him from 2 years ago, you’d know there was something there. But I didn’t expect he’d be this clutch.

Seems like the game slows down for him and he’s always able to take the right shot every time. Unbelievable.

Perhaps there’s some luck involved but it still takes a lot of b*lls to do what he’s done.

Real clutch. Most clutch players in the league:

1. Haliburton
2. Brunson
3. Curry
4. Shai
5. Luka

Very clutch.

Siakam, Nesmith, and Nembhard also made HUGE plays in the last 3 minutes of Game 1 to come back from 9 down.

The last shot always gets the glory, but you have to get it to the point where it only takes one shot to win.

In seriousness, as soon as he got the ball in decent position I was like "that's game." Something I usually only feel with Brunson and Haliburton has somehow been even more clutch this playoffs so hats off to him.

even though it sucks that it´s not us, it´s still a bit satisfying to see Haliburton ball like this after all the crap that was written about him here early in the season. Still remember how mad I was when we passed up on him for Obi Toppin while desperately needing a PG in the draft. At least it worked out for both of us.

Yup. That time was less than half of his career, and included some of the years where he was leaving/out of his prime.

for some reason a player wearing #0 making all these closer shots and epic plays makes it that much more cooler!

Kid is at a +15.8 on/off in the playoffs. Only behind Jokic and Tatum as centerpieces. His feel for time and situation are uncanny. Kid is basketball.

Eh the Curry thing is wildly overrated, up their with Kobe. It's a mythic belief not backed by any evidence. The memory of one or two shots somehow overwhelms the bushels of misses.

I think this has been pretty well established by now, there's probably already a couple other threads making this point.
