Peak Jamal? Nah. Not even. He's getting better, but not there yet.

Are we not gonna factor Jdubs All-NBA calibre defense? Give me Jdub over any version of Murray

Kind of amazing to watch a really solid game with some legit amazing performances and tons of great plays, and somehow find people here just wanting to jump over each other to call absurdly elite athletes losers.

He doesn't
Even in this game where he's been unreal, SGA still has 31 and 10 assists
And when you add all the other games, it's a done deal for SGA

Wanna explain to me how Haliburton played more minutes than Siakam tonight?

I'm not sure...seems odd. TJ should've seen some time in the 4th.

it is the nba finals and they have the most college team spirit. hali has the self-awareness to accept he had a stinker and had to sit. i don't think any player would take it personally in indiana

All time crapper performance from Haliburton. All time poop show.

Because Indy doesn't have a star go to player. Teams like this don't win championships. Or at least rarely win championships. You need an sga, giannis, jokic, LeBron,Steph, kwahi, dirk, Wade, hell even a Tatum ( all NBA 1st team).

Tons of people were saying this before series started. How does a team built like Indy actually win a championship?

Cmon kids. He’s clearly injured, and you just saw him play like a star most of this series. Get out of middle school and learn some nuance.
People also need to stop brining up the poll. 13 players voted for him, out of 90. Hardly a representative sample size

People just don't like Hali. I personally think he's a cornball. But it is what it is.

Especially when Haliburton's backup was carrying the team. :lol:

Gotta give credit to the Thunder defense, it's also a part of the reason hali struggled.

No NBA coach has the guts to bench their star player and not let them finish the game no matter how bad they're playing. Pippen almost cost his team a game by throwing a tantrum by not getting the last shot. Stars egos are fragile

Man I feel devastated for Pacers fans.

That Game 4 collapse is going to haunt them forever

To be fair - you hate everyone

Who seizes a commanding 3-2 lead?
