Tyrese Haliburton gave a honest review of the 2023-2024 Indiana Pacers season where they made it to the Eastern Conference Finals.
Haliburton acknowledged that they exceeded all the expectations on them before the campaign started, and he’s definitely ecstatic with the big steps they have taken as they continue to develop into a title contender. However, he emphasized that their mission is far from over. He knows they have another level to achieve, and that’s where their focus is now as they navigate through the offseason.
“Man, it was a great year. It was a great year for us as a team, me individually, of course, but we know there’s another step for us to go, and obviously not satisfied with just Eastern Conference Finals. We want to do a lot more,” Tyrese Haliburton said while reflecting on the 2023-24 season they had, via Scott Agnes of Fieldhouse Files.
He then continued:
“I think you can say we’re ahead of schedule in our rebuild, but we know what we’re capable of and our goal is to get right back where we were this year and do more.”
True enough, it’s hard to argue with Tyrese Haliburton‘s sentiment. Sure they didn’t win anything despite coming so close in both the NBA In-Season Tournament (in which they reached the finals) and Finals itself; however, these incredible runs show how formidable they can become with more experience and perhaps a little more retooling on the roster.
