statistically one of the best games of all time in NBA playoffs history.
Tinsley was better......not.
Tinsley was a good player but Halliburton is at another level. He can do everything better than Tinsley.Tinsley was better......not.
And Haliburton is only 25 years old.Keerthika Uthayakumar (@keerthikau.bsky.social)
Tyrese Haliburton had 15+ assists & 0 turnovers tonight for the 11th time in his career. Only John Stockton (14) and Chris Paul (13) had more such games in NBA history, regular season & playoffs.bsky.app
Surreal ..we are dialed in as he's a Clone ...but the "overated" narrative and this production (and the choke/come backs) making him a top NBA talent/brand.Not just most efficient - one of the best playoff performances ever. Period.
Not making the argument for Hornacek over Haliburton, but I'm not sure everyone appreciates what JH accomplished in the NBA. His longevity, durability, scoring, and playing for playoff teams that generally had good runs doesn't make it a guarantee that Haliburton retires as ISU's all-time leading scorer in the NBA. It would be interesting to see how Hornacek would do in today's 3pt heavy systems.
Jeff Hornacek Stats (playoff tab is selected)
JH was in the playoffs 11 of his 14 years for a total of 140 playoff games while averaging 14.9 points. He also averaged 14.5 points over his 14 years in the regular season (1077 games).
For reference TH has been in the playoffs for 2 of his 5 years for 29 games (so far) averaging 19 points. He is at 333 regular season games averaging 17.5 points.
Hornacek had a 4 year run putting up similar ppg to what Haliburton is currently doing before dropping down to around 15 ppg for the next 9 years!
