@cenkuygur@cenkuygur thank you for your humility and empathy. I don’t agree with you on everything, but I always appreciate your willingness to engage with those on “the other side”. Truly we should all be on the side of life, truth, and justice.
Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.
Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.
At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.
Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.
My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.

@lightyrspod The kings can score. I don’t think this is necessarily a referendum on the defense. SAC is feasting on preseason defensive effort.
Hield can start next to Steph if he shoots 50% from three lmao. Then Dray/JK/TJD would be fine
Robert Saleh comes out smelling great in all of this tbh. Maybe unless his aspirations are to become a great HC. But he gets to walk away with..
- 1.5 years of free pay no work
- his defense was elite
- everyone knows Aaron Rodgers is the problem
- can get a job as defensive coordinator fairly easily next season
@ThompsonScribe There’s no other player other than Steph he wouldn’t take out if they were playing this poorly …what’s the rationale, trying to jumpstart him by just allowing him to TO TO airball airball? He certainly yanks lots of other guys for a lot less
