from game 7 of the NBA finals to knowing you have no shot to win anything next year has to be a weird feeling for Indy fans.

I don’t even feel bad for saying this
Karma comes for you
Throw up another choke sign Hali, showboat again, and you’ll tear the other Achilles or acl
Bum, sorry not sorry

Lesson in all this is we need some defensive demons.

Those hallway scenes with the pacers players were rough.

U mean like Mike Brown?

We'll see if it was the coach or the players this season

I'm just saying that Carlisle has been able to adjust to different rosters over the years. He doesn't just plug the personnel into his own rigid system. If you gave him this roster without Haliburton he would try to figure out the best system for what was available to him but i'm not expecting him to do that on the fly in game 7.

I liked having a team system built on defense, toughness, heart and with a pretty good offense when we had shooters. Now we'll try to find a coach that fits more finesse players with poor defense. Its rare you get a coach like Riley or Carlisle who can adapt to any roster.

I clapped and cheered
They lost in the most excruciating way and to lose your star for next year too?
Wow

I didn’t feel this way when Tatum injured his. He didn’t showboat against us all the time. Halibumton did.

Yes, same sentiment here. There was a foul in almost every possession. Ugly game but oh well.

SGA league MVP and Finals MVP and champion. the undisputed goat. Promises made promises kept. Your new hero. The reason why the halibum choke signal won’t live in even more infamy. Bless this man.

Cason Wallace nba champion happy for him!

My guy iHart nba champion wish he was here

F Halifraud, F Obi, and big time F crybaby Carlisle that’s what you get for messing with rondo in 2015. The pacers CHEATED we won game 1 they didn’t call that OT goaltend and we would have won game 7

Glad it happened to them in the most excruciatingly painful way possible. Get up 2-1 and blow game 4. Go down 3-2 to come back and force game 7 and then halibum chokes his achilles. Still winning the game at halftime anyway got Knicks fans actually rooting for them only to get stomped at the end. Even a last little fake hustle. Glorious. They’ll never get that opportunity ever again.

Happy ending

I wanted us to draft him but nooooo

Happy to see the Pacers lose, feel bad for Haliburton and it does suck to lose like that for the rest of the players well.

Let's see.

Was thinking the same thing

Will I live to see another Knicks championship is all I care about.

OKC was 4/17 and IND was 5/15. Just brutal. 12 of Pacers 23 points from the line. 12 of OKC's 22 points from the line. Entire 2nd half of the 4th was full court press with OKC struggling to get the ball across and then holding the ball until a few seconds on the clock to take a bad shot. Fortunately for them their defense is amazing.

I get it. I dont know why im acting soft. Its unbecoming and out of character. Just felt bad for em. Injured in the biggest game of your life and the rest of em losing their life's dream. That shts rough. But yeah, youre right. Fck the pacers.

I blame Obi for getting Haliburton injured and crowning the Thunder tonight.
