Should I still be BANNED?
[QUOTE=RRR3;15016574]That injury ruined one of the greatest finals in a very long time.[/QUOTE]Not necessarily.
Only ruins it if Indiana loses.
Try optimism.
It’s fun.
Promise.
Caruso still has the hops
It was good to see Siakam talking to the troops during the timeout. Losing Hali sucks, but there's no way you wouldn't tell me if you were tied 25-25 start of the 2nd quarter of a Game 7 you wouldn't play has hard as you can even without Haliburton.

i'm sure they will continue to play hard, but they were esentially already playing at their limit to keep up with okc because there's a large talent gap between both teams. so losing hali just makes it near impossible.
Pacers are just letting the Thunder snatch the ball from them.
ima need the refs to give pacers the shai treatment and blow whistles for minimal contact. :applause:

It was impossible for the Pacers to make the Finals thinking back to the first round of the playoffs.
[QUOTE=Meticode;15016583]Most of the internet is full of stupid people, so it won't matter. They'll enjoy their championship and millions of dollars and those same stupid people can argue back and forth meaninglessly..[/QUOTE]
Of course, just annoying this taints what was otherwise a great Finals series.

Word. Siakam has a ring, might get his second tonight. Indiana just has to play a smart game.
At some point you have to blame the medical staff for not holding these guys out. Obviously Haliburton is going to play if you let him.

I disagree.
OKC has the best individual player in the series.
But from 2-9, I’d say Indiana def has the advantage offensively.
And the advantage on perimeter defensive & passing lane defensive length.
That's like the third or fourth Indiana defensive rebound they let the Thunder just slap out of their hand. You're not going to win if you can't secure the f*cking rebound.
Hate to see Haliburton's season end tonight, but his championship hopes won't necessarily. We've seen teams rally many times after losing their best player, and the Pacers know this would be the most opportune time to do so.
They just need to hang around, put the pressure on OKC, and then all bets are off.
