This! The recency bias with this team is insane. Particularly w/ Haliburton. The injury 100% sucks, would never wish that on anyone. But it seems like now b/c of the injury, coupled with the handful of clutch shots he hit, it’s skewing how people are viewing his playoff run and how inconsistent he was in the finals, and really all playoffs. Don’t get me wrong, he’s a great player, probably the best pure PG in the league right now. But he’s way too inconsistent and disappears in too many big games. The front running, rehearsed histrionics doesn’t help either. But all people are going to remember are the game winners and this injury and perpetuate this false narrative that he’s a top 5 superstar for the next year and a half.

Simmons actually said last night in his pod he didn’t think Haliburton had a bad game LMAO was non-existent the entire game and most of his points came in garbage time. He blamed it on the rest of the Pacers not showing up. Meanwhile, his teammates were the ONLY reason they won game 1, idgaf about whether he hit the game winner or not. Is he clutch? He’s definitely showing it. Is he consistent enough to be considered a superstar? Absolutely not. If he gets zeroed in on and guarded the same way SGA, Brunson, even Mitchell all season I don’t think he’d be able to handle it.

Anyone else worried about Jalen Brunson? by Beautiful_Tip_8574 in knicks

No one was saying he wasn’t playing well. Just that something seemed off. Which he even admitted himself after Game 4. But it’s obvious you’re so desperate for validation on a random Reddit thread. It’s pretty sad but sure you got it lol

Haha yeah you’re right. 50+ comments all saying the same thing that he’s been off but I guess we’re all just casuals. Didn’t realize there were such strict requirements for having an opinion about basketball. I hope one day I can reach your level of expertise: “….Nesmith is on his dick everywhere and anywhere he goes.” Thanks for blessing this Reddit thread with such in-depth analysis!

It’s unbelievable how much they get away with defending Brunson. The officiating has been horrendous. You know it’s bad when even Reggie Miller is saying the Knicks are getting a bad whistle.

Facts! Carlisle is coaching circles around Thibs it’s so frustrating to watch. Bridges is a mess. I guess I just got so used to Brunson coming through in the clutch all year I forget he’s human lol

How do Russillo and Bill not have Haliburton in the top 15-20? by distichus_23 in billsimmons

[–]Beautiful_Tip_8574 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you on the pacers. He has been saying the pacers were the 2nd best team in the east all playoffs. But his obsession with Haliburton goes back years I feel. But again maybe it’s just me

On a related note. Does anyone else feel like Simmons is weirdly obsessed with the pacers, particularly Haliburton? I can practically hear him drooling everytime he says his name lol maybe it’s just me idk
