If they pull this off, Rick Carlisle should be recognised as a top 5 coach of all time, if not top 3.

And Pascal Siakam officially becomes the best player of the 2016 draft. A lot of legacies could potentially be made tonight.


SGA goes past Steve Nash as the greatest ever Canadian player ?

Also means the East is kind of open even more now. Cavs, Knicks, and Magic fans are probably happy right now and right now Giannis looks smart for staying.

That's a tough ask. Reminds me of my Dubs after Klay AND KD went down. We're only human.


I get it, but at the same time it's game 7 of the NBA finals. Sure it's expected to kind of cause a shock at first, but eventually before it'd too late ya got to refocus and get it together as they seem to now be doing. Theses guys might never be in this situation again. Haliburton didn't die or anything like that, he injured his leg...use it to rally around and go win it for him!

Nah ESPN won't shut up about it. Kinda hard to forget.

That and how many Canadians are in this series are two of their only talking points.


Basically, every Canadian basketball players are either cousins or nextdoor neighbors.

I'm imagining there's like one extremely snowy neighborhood they all live in and spend all their time at the (heated) indoor community center learning ball to escape the bitter cold.

Pacers shooting 50% from 3 so far. They need to put up as many as they can to win this game.

Jefferson naming all the players who tore their Achilles but not saying the word. They also had “difficult injuries”

Any other team would be getting blown out, I can't believe the mental resiliency the pacers have

I've never seen a team so scared to go up strong. Siakam has to go up to dunk that.

Dort has had some extremely timely baskets during this run. OKC loses to Denver if he doesn't randomly get hot in game 5.

Indiana winning this series would've already been the biggest upset in NBA history. Imagine doing it without their best player lol
