I'm guessing he was wrong.

Word on the street is that KP is travelling to Indy. Must mean he is somewhat close to returning, otherwise you’d stay at home and continue rehab.

Woj said a Game 4 return is possible.

I think if Haliburton is out, Jrue sits. If Haliburton plays, so does Jrue.

Brissett has to play today. He was the guy that,IMO, help us play better defense. He was aggressive and physical last game....what we needed with these soft ass team. Of course, clueless Joe doesn't know that. :noway:

JT just goes out there and scores 50 if Cs missing a lot of players.

Starting to get worried about KP, he hasn't even practiced yet.

No shot he plays game 4, or this series imo

If we don’t get court action between today and game 4, I’d bet he’s done for. He did travel with the team though so we can only hope.

We'll know for sure when the Cs advance.

Rewatched the game....Halliburton ran up and down the court fast with no problems after his supposed injury...I'm not buying it.

Doesn't matter.

If he's not 100%, he'll just hurt his team.

Now it's an 8:30 game, I just realized. These games are getting later and later. Seriously annoying!

Louder for the dunces in the back (I'm also in the back, the one sitting on a high chair).

If KP traveled I'm thinking they are serious about him playing Game 4. But imo it might depend on how Game 3 goes. If it's looking like a sweep do they play him in this series?

The idea is probably to give him some minutes to shake off the rust before the Finals. But if we are ending this Indy series quickly maybe the extra week+ off is better for the injury? I think I'm rambling but there's more than one way to look at it.

I'm not risking it. The extended rest trumps whatever rust he has to shake off, which he can do in practice/with the team if need be, then in G1 of the Finals.
