Haliburton is a very very important player for the Pacers, in fact he could be probably the most important player they have, and him missing two weeks is still a serious issue for them. I am not saying that they will suddenly suck, but I am sure that they will play below their win rate for this period, he is way too good to not have an impact when he is missing.
So far the seeds are getting their shape, we still have plenty to change and we still have a little bit of time for trades and I am sure that it will get more serious the closer we get to the deadline. I think there are plenty of teams trying to figure out a way to make some moves, and I think they will have some issues because nobody wants to get nothing, many teams have a chance.
And that is why they are super underdog on every game that he will miss. Haliburton is a piece that is difficult to fill in by other players. His speed and threat in the three-point line are like Steph's in his younger days, he is growing to be one of the biggest threats on outside shots.
But even though they are underdogs tonight against the Atlanta Hawks, I still put my trust in their bench and healthy roleplayers which is why I am winning this bet today.
Who is watching the Chicago Bulls versus the Golden State Warriors?
Ring of Honor Ceremony.
Scottie Pippen and Michael Jordan were absent but MJ did send a message to the Bulls fans.
It's nice to see the Bulls team of 95-96 once again who recorded 72-10 which is one of the best records until the Golden State Warriors broke it. Still, there are a lot of memories of just seeing those guys again. They are old but the memories will be kept forever.
Funny thing. My wife (GSW fan) was surprised Steve Kerr was sitting there. I said, "Oh yeah, he was there, he was once a Bull!"
