Haliburton-Doncic pairing seems eerily similar to the Irving-Doncic pairing. Plus, that is a massive hole in the Pacers defense with Doncic-Hield.

I don't think you can compare Haliburton with Irving.
Irving is an *ss, Haliburton would find a way to play with Doncic

Doncic became ann above avarage defender. Hield isn't the best defender, but he's producing 5.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals. So i think that could work. Hali takes the best offensive player, Turner protects the rim and Jackson grabs the rebounds.

@Gasupo and others. It is more about 2 players needing the ball in their hands to be highly effective. Nothing about the players "attitudes".

Irving is a chemistry killer. Halliburton & Doncic would adjust playing together to make it work.

Haliburton-Fox didn't work. Doncic-Kyrue is not working. Why would you think Haliburton-Doncic would work?

@Fredman that's a good point. Both Doncic & Halliburton are high IQ players so maybe they figure it out.

Luka and Kyrie isn’t working because that team has one of the worst front courts in the NBA (and because Kyrie is a cancer) .

Fox/ Hali “didn’t work” because Hali was only 100 games into his career and they had one of the worst front courts in the NBA.

If Indy has a bottom 10 front court with Haliburton and Luka, it’s a disaster. If they can surround them with shooting and defense, it could be amazing.

It feels like the “Dame and CJ can’t win together” talk for years. Yeah, if you start Harkless, Aminu, and Kanter with them, they’re doomed. If the best forward that ever starts with them is Evan Turner, they can’t win.

Yep, Mavs won’t win with Powell as their forever starting center lol.
