Indiana Pacers star guard Tyrese Haliburton agreed that he and the rest of the starting five should have been benched against the Miami Heat.
Last night, the Indiana Pacers faced a surprising loss against a Miami Heat team that was missing All-Star small forward Jimmy Butler.
This was largely because of disappointing performances from every member of the Pacers' starting five, especially when it came to defense. This led to head coach"Ugly game," Carlisle said, per. "A lot of ugly stretches. Pretty clear that I didn't have these guys ready to play. Put the responsibility on me. I've got to do a better job of getting these guys prepared. It was embarrassing. There were two stretches where our fans booed, and rightly so.
"It's just the repercussions of not doing your job," Haliburton said. "They had to try that second group and they were awesome, so we have to play as hard as that second group.""I thought we were doing a lot of dumb on both ends of the ball," Haliburton said. "Defensive lapses. Bad shots, bad turnovers. We started playing the game the right way early. The ball was moving, hopping. Then we had some dumb turnovers and bad shots.
