Michael Scotto: Tyrese Haliburton on his Reggie Miller choke celebration: “If I would’ve known it was a two, I would not have done it. I might have wasted it. If I do it again, people might say I’m aura farming. I don’t plan on using it again.”

I’m very curious to see how the Netflix crew condenses this Pacers season, Haliburton’s highs and lows, and the incredible comebacks into part of a documentary. Whew.
So much material. – 1:18 AM

Tyrese Haliburton decided to do the Reggie Miller choke “in the moment.”

The @Pacers have three proven clutch three-point shooters – Haliburton, Nesmith and Nembhard. And a few other guys capable of making big ones as well. It’s turned out to be a handy weapon the last couple of seasons. – 12:14 AM

I remember @TonyREast having me on a couple years ago to talk about the similarities between the Nuggets and Pacers.
It all stems from Haliburton being that dude. And he most certainly is. Incredible player. – 11:17 PM

I’d like to reiterate my hatred for the two-for-one. Pacers down five, Haliburton tosses up a contested three (miss), Brunson scores on the other end, all so Indy can rush a wild 30-footer. Analytics say I’m wrong. I say always get the best shot. – 9:13 PM

Fun first half to the series. Knicks hung in just fine with the Pacers’ pace, lead 69-62. Haliburton scored 10 of his 14pts in the 2nd to keep them afloat. Brunson has 18.
Defense + paint a huge concern, as expected.
And now a performance by Mary J. Blige at MSG. – 9:12 PM

Haliburton has come alive in the 2Q, scored the Pacers’ last seven points. Now the third Pacer in double figures.
Both teams still shooting > 51%. – 9:06 PM

Mikal Bridges has been great this half. He’s got 12 points, yes, but his defense on Haliburton has been tremendous and he’s been an on-ball shot disruptor. Feels like he’s gummed up the Pacers by turning Haliburton into more of a facilitator and making him work on offense. – 9:03 PM

Just saw the Arenas take on Pascal and the Pacers… His takes are so awful I don’t even know if it’s among his worst but just straight LOL
He wants the ball out of Haliburton’s hands in the clutch? The guy who’s shot 10-for-11 on shots to tie or take the lead in the final 2 – 12:34 AM
