Man, that must have hurt for Pritchard. Excellent fake here.

JJ and Breen way too quick to call that not intentional, sure looked like it

It sucks because Pritchard had a layup.

So it’s obviously more than a common foul, since he kicked him in the head correct??? wtf are they doing?

I got to see another couple of replays, it seems he looks over his shoulder and then keeps raising his foot

Great first quarter. Nice misdirection from McDermott to McConnell.

Certainly meant to get his foot in the way to keep Pritchard from scoring. Seems like it should have been looked at, at least.

Huh? He's injured like many other players in these playoffs. What point are you're trying to make here?


He clearly played hurt during the regular season for his own personal gain. Why not now? Soft


He played through an injury in the RS, yes. Playing through that injury definitely helped him make the All-NBA team but it also helped the Pacers make the playoffs. So, both him and the team gained from Hali's toughness and willingness to play through injury.

As for now, he re-injured that hurt hamstring. Hamstring injuries are like that. When you play through them, there's always the chance of re-aggravation. That's just the nature of this particular injury.

I wouldn’t be surprised, he did try to rip Hausers arm in game 2.

Careful, or ill start posting stats to make you worry as a Celtics fan. (Finals related)


Let’s see them
I'll post one, I found very interesting.

The Celtics have the highest differential in the playoffs at +10.6 that's great, and means they have been really pounding teams. What's not so great, is that during the 4th quarter they have a -1.0. Assuming they indeed play the Mavericks, they are up against the two best closers in the game in Luka and Kryie. (Mavs as a team in the playoffs are +3.5 and +2.0 in the 4th)

That, is concerning.

That seemed more like a flagrant than what they called on White the last game
