00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: The volume. Welcome to course correction, brought to you by Microsoft.

2
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: Just like star players and teams navigating performance hurdles, business

3
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:25,400
Speaker 1: decision makers today are under immense pressure to get things right.

4
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 1: They must rise to the occasion, turning challenges into opportunities.

5
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: Microsoft empowers these visionaries with AI solutions, simplified cloud and

6
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,800
Speaker 1: data management and trustworthy responsible AI. And when you're in

7
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: the NBA, you have your own hurdles to face. In

8
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: this segment, we will highlight the player every week that

9
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: has risen to the occasion when his team needed in

10
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: whatever challenge you're facing. Microsoft empowers you with the expertise

11
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 1: to say, bring it on. This week's player of the week.

12
00:00:56,640 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: You guessed it is Tires Halliburton. Tyres Haliburton is on

13
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: one hell of a run in the twenty twenty five

14
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: NBA Playoffs. He just hit his fourth unbelievable buzzer beating

15
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: shot that put his team in position to win a

16
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: game they had no business winning. He has made twelve

17
00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 1: clutch shots in this postseason run. Again, that's what the

18
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,560
Speaker 1: score within at least five points with five minutes or

19
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,679
Speaker 1: less remaining in the game. That is second only to

20
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 1: Jalen Brunson, who by the way, has five more makes

21
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: in clutch situations but on twenty more attempts, so in

22
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: terms of volume and efficiency, no one's come close to

23
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: Tyrese Halliburton in this postseason run. He also has just

24
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: eight assists to just one turnover in those situations. That's

25
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: the most assists out of anybody in clutch situations in

26
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 1: this postseason run. And the Pacers are now eight and

27
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 1: one in the nine games that they've played in this

28
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: postseason run that have come down to clutch situations. That

29
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: is the best winning percentage at this volume in recent

30
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: NBA Since NBA dot Com started tracking this information in

31
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety seven. The only teams that have come close

32
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: to that level of ruthless clutch efficiency are the twenty

33
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: sixteen Calves and the two thousand Lakers, who both went

34
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: seven to one in clutch playoff games. Both teams ended

35
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: up winning the title, by the way, for whatever that

36
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: is worth, but even that is underselling even if we

37
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 1: focus on I saw. I was scrolling through Instagram yesterday

38
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: and I saw the highlight reel of all four of

39
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: his game winners back to back. And I've watched it

40
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 1: a few times as that it's come across my feed,

41
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: and every time I see it, I'm just completely blown

42
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: away because it's just unlike anything we've seen in NBA

43
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: history for a guy to do this in four completely

44
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: different series. But even that, even focusing on that, is

45
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: just massively underselling the overall job that Halliburton has done

46
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: in this playoff run of creating offense for his team.

47
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: First of all, I've been talking a lot about how

48
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 1: his ham's is healthier than it used to be. He's

49
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: been way more explosive getting to the rim in this

50
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: particular playoff run. The dead giveaway statistically, here is his

51
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: rim attempts. Last year in the postseason. Tyree's averaged just

52
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: two point seven shot attempts per game at the rim.

53
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: This year in the postseason four point one a time

54
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 1: and a half as much. That's a substantial increase in

55
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: his ability to get to the rim with basically the

56
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: same roster. It's a product of that gained explosiveness that

57
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: he has off the dribble that didn't exist last year

58
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: when he was dealing with his hamstring right This, in

59
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: combination with his pull up shooting, is also made him

60
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,839
Speaker 1: a substantially more effective switch beater, which has unlocked an

61
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: ISO part of his game, which was also completely missing

62
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: last year and last year's playoff runt, Tyree's scored in

63
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: ISO just five times in three rounds. Including passes, he

64
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 1: generated just twenty four total points in the entire playoff

65
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: run in ISO situations. This year, he's literally been the

66
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: most efficient ISO player in the entire playoff field. He

67
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: has personally made seventeen shots in ISO again compared to

68
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: just five last year. Including passes, He's generated eighty points

69
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: in ISO situations. That's more than triple what he did

70
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: last year. Among the twelve players in this playoff field

71
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: who have logged at least fifty isolation attempts including passes,

72
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: his one point one point eight points per possession is

73
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: the most efficient out of all of them. But even

74
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: the box score doesn't come close to capturing the impact

75
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: of this team. Tyrese is the embodiment of the identity

76
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: of the Indiana Pacers. His biggest strength as a basketball

77
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,960
Speaker 1: player is his quick decision making ability. He understands his role,

78
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: which is just to create advantages for his team, and

79
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: he's such a quick processor that he identifies every available

80
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: opportunity every kick ahead pass, every simple swing pass to

81
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: beat nail help, every simple kickback after he runs some

82
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: guard guard screen and the guy slips out of the action,

83
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: every skip in pick and roll. His willingness to get

84
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: the ball up the floor quickly and get it moving

85
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: early in the possession is what breeds the rhythm and

86
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 1: flow of this PACER's offense. We don't see Tyrese Halliburton

87
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: have stretches like what Shay had in Game one where

88
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 1: he dribbles the air out of the ball and stifles

89
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 1: the rhythm of his own team. Tyrese's entire basketball personality

90
00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:58,559
Speaker 1: is contagious. Everyone on the roster is invested. Miles Turner

91
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: keeps calling it the power of French and I can't

92
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: think of any better way to put it. We've been

93
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: joking around. I've seen it all over the website. It's

94
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: a hilarious clip the other day of the scene from Avatar,

95
00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: and it was like, it was like if you walk

96
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: in on the Pacers in the halftime locker room and

97
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: it's them doing that crazy dance and Avatar, because the

98
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 1: joke is it's devil magic, right, It's voodoo. It's the

99
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: Pacers are up to some crazy shit. Tyre's Halliburton is

100
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: the voodoo magic for this team. The personality he has

101
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: imbued in this roster, and the willingness to commit to

102
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:39,239
Speaker 1: this larger goal of being, this rhythm and flow, fast

103
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: paced ball and player movement style of offense, the quick

104
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 1: decision making, the willingness to make the extra pass, even

105
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: just the unwavering confidence. Tyree's has taken a lot of

106
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: the big shots late in games this year, but so

107
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 1: has everyone else. You want to know why Jalen Brunson

108
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 1: has twenty more clutch attempts because he takes every one

109
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 1: of them. On the pacers, Aaron E. Smith feels empowered

110
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: to rise in fire. Andrew Nembard feels empowered to rise

111
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: in fire. So does Miles Turner, so does Pascal Siakam.

112
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: They all are part of this journey on the offensive

113
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: end of the floor, and Tyree's is the guy that

114
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: imbues that confidence, that unwavering belief in their ability to

115
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: just come back from any deficit, to knock down any

116
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,560
Speaker 1: type of shot. It's just it's been remarkable to watch

117
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: and again, like Tyrese Haliburton, to me is the embodiment

118
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: of that identity with this team. That's it for this
