  3. Well the finals have been fun. Better than the OKC dominating gentlemen sweep that most people probably had before the series.

  4. I know everyone was getting their jokes off but this tracks, it was clear he wasn’t close to 100%

  6. It’s been a good run boys.

    At least we denied the Knicks the pleasure of getting routed by the Thunder.

  10. It was clear he was injured. Hopefully, it’s not too bad. That might be it for Indiana’s chances though if he can’t play

  13. Hopefully it’s not too serious- doesn’t make up for last night’s performance but I’m sure it added to it.

  15. This sucks man. I was hoping it’d go 7. Pretty doubtful if he’s playing on a strained calf

  16. surely the team that has the overcoming adversity plot armor can’t get out of THIS jam

  17. Tj McConnell has been more effective than Haliburton all series long. Maybe he deserves a little more time out there

  21. I remember when this happened to KD in 2019 and he decided to push it and ended up tearing his achilles

  22. Yikes. Hopefully it’s minor and he can play through it, but even then that sucks. Everyones playing through things, but calves and hamstrings are always extra scary

  26. OKC needs to ignore all of these reports and prepare for game 6 like Tyrese is fine and will play because he’s going to play regardless

  27. I know he wants to play but Pacers should probably save Haliburton from himself. Calf injuries could lead to Achilles injuries or worse and that would be the worst thing for the Pacers as a whole

  28. When Luka had a strained calf, Windy said Luka wasn’t even trying on defense and then Nico traded him for being fat.

  32. Everyone’s hurt, he’ll still play. They’ll just shoot him up with painkillers.

  34. I would rather play against healthy Hali than TJ. Dude is probably gonna drop 50 points in game 6, not excited at all

  36. Pacers lost both “Hali-less” games in the ECF last season by 3. Both were down to the wire too if I remember correctly. Thunder might be a different animal, but this Pacers team can at the very least still compete and fight to the end of an entertaining series.

  38. If he can’t play, this series will either go predictably with OKC closing them out next game or OKC loses in 7 and becomes an all time slandered team

  40. Honestly i would rather sit him and avoid an Achilles like what happened to KD against the Raptors. If we lose, so be it. Not worth risking Hali getting seriously hurt which would void next season

  41. Anyone who doesn’t think we can win Game 6 has a head filled with pudding. I’m a bit pissed at how Carlisle has coached 4 and 5, but he’s done it before and can do it again. This is truly win or go home time, let’s get it done.

  42. Calf injuries are so scary considering the increased possibility of an injury to the achillles.

  44. Sucks for Haliburton and the Pacers. This has been the playoffs. Star goes down mid-series.

  47. Add this to the cursed list
    1. Team needs a fucking telephon to stay in the city
    2. Runs into a dominant east in the 90s
    3. Loses to Kobe and Shaq
    4. Malice at the Palace
    5. Runs into LeBron multiple times
    6. PG13 snaps his leg then asks out
    7. Runs into a loaded Thunder team and Hali is injured
    8. Pacers have never had the 1st overall pick, or an MVP
    You are here
    Watch number 9 be Haliburton turns out to have a career shortened by injures. Is any team as cursed or unlucky really?

  48. 1 of 2 things will happen.

    Okc will get blown out because of another “injured” player going off on us.

    We will be able to confirm that Halliburton really did sell his soul to the devil and this is his punishment.

  49. Tragic. Based on how that game was going at the end, they easily win with a healthy Tyrese.
