Horrible ending. A damn shame.
Brutal stuff to have to watch
THIS IS WHERE REAL MAN CRIES
Reggie Miller was their biggest fan this whole playoffs. Always there for Indiana.
The graphic they showed in the middle of the 4th saying no one has scored but TJ since 8:32 in the 3rd was damning
Sad ending for the team
I hate this sm
I wouldn’t wish this shit on my worst enemy. Horrible ending for pacers fans
Just gotta feel for all these guys, didn’t deserve to go out like this
TJ was on some 2018 lebron shit this finals. Dude is a beast.
Tj did everything he could
i have never felt this bad about a team i wasnt a fan of before
Heartbreaking. They deserved it for fighting this hard
Horrible ending for the Pacers and for the league
Just a brutal way to lose a championship man. They fought their ass off but without Hali it wasn’t enough. They had it man. He was on his way to a huge night💔
Feel like he has to be thinking about all the turnovers tonight. But he’s a huge part of why they were in a Game 7 to begin with
McConnell’s Game 7 3rd quarter performance will be forever goated.
Shoutout to his mom too.
TJ balled out feel bad 😞
Sports are cruel man
pretty epic finals by McConnell. Really tough to lose after performing like that
TJ’s mom telling the camera man to fuck off was amazing A+ mom
Dude is a fucking beast. Pacers were an awesome team to watch this year, just competed so hard
Reggie’s so dope for just sticking around after his career and being the biggest superfan.
Thrill and agony.
His mom (?) waiting for McConnell at the start of the tunnel and yelling with the hand out for the camera to BACK UP was even better..
That’s cool, but Hali greeting his teammates on crutches really choked me up
TJ wanted it more than anyone
Always root for TJ in any context at any time anywhere.
Such a hard watch.
I know we’ll look back at this playoffs run as one of the most magical moments in NBA history, but knowing what could have been…fuck man.
Fuck it. I’m buying TJ’s jersey this week.
Not like this. Most heartbreaking finals I’ve ever seen.
I feel like most choosing to emphasize his TOs are missing the fact that the off-ball movement of the players around him was goofy as hell. He was doing a ton to create but without teammates rotating he just got stuck.
End of the day, man played as hard as anyone on the team and kept them afloat for much of the 3rd.
the guy’s a winner in my books, and im not even a Pacers fan.
This fucking broke me.
TJ and Mathurin played so goddamn hard. Feel awful for Hali, this whole team and for Indianapolis.
Reggie is just the best
Pacers culture 💯

TJ was a year older than me in school and I remember him playing our team in the WPIAL. Our team had like 3 players who were 6’6″ – 6’8″. Very good team. They went undefeated literally except when they played Chartiers Valley lol. I’ll never forget watching TJ back then when we played them. He was so quick and so much better than everyone else. It was really cool to see him play in this final and even though it didn’t work out I have a ton of respect for him. He fucking loves this game and he really did put it all out there.
TJ knows he might not get this close again, at least unless he ring chases. I feel like other Sixers fans like myself were pulling for him to break through. Special, special dude, and an amazing teammate. Hate to see him like this.
man fuck OKC
You guys laid it out on the field. Hold your head high.
