    Was Halliburton ever a choice instead of KPJ?

    Who knows?
    We didnt even humor it bc our office were dead set on the stupid kpj experiment.

    Our team greatly needed a pg at the time but instead of exploring all the options we went with the stupidest one in kpj

    Missing both Mobley and Garland gutted their lineup. Adding Deandre Hunter to that list is just barbaric.

    A very courageous effort by the Cavs went for naught. Would have helped if Ty Jerome didn't play like Jalen Green on steroids.

    Yeah this is a false assumption.

    im choosing to believe stone would’ve grabbed Halliburton over KPJ if given the chance…

    48 seconds left, Pacers down 7: Siakam gets fouled, goes to the line, misses both free throws. That should be game. But then a putback dunk, then a turnover on Mitchell's offensive foul, then a score by Indiana, then another turnover by Cleveland, then Hali gets fouled with Indiana down three, and the 85% free throw shooter misses the second free throw, but gets his own rebound, then pulls it back and hits the do or die three.


    Just so many things that had to go wrong for Cleveland to lose that game and they all did.

    Im just happy the rockets didn't lose in the same fashion the cavs just did. If the Rockets blew a lead like that with seconds to go I would literally have a myocardial infarction

    Haliburtin knows his spots also - that top of circle 3 is his baby for stepback

    Maybe Harden when he wanted out of town? Hali wasn't yet an All-Star though.

    Legitimately shocking series so far. Wish we had Hali instead of FVV.

    Another 4th quarter collapse by the home team.

    This vid has the entire unraveling for Cleveland, and it's worth watching all the fan reactions, all the "oh ****, this is still Cleveland" faces and gestures going on, haha.
