Not sure how to feel about that. It is a big risk but Hali is the type of player who will insist to play through injuries. He did it last year as well.


If he’s 90-100% of himself then good

If he’s again Ben Simmons lite (Game 5 ) he’d better not play at all

I'm curious to see how much OKC targets Hali on defense.

Obviously don't know enough about injuries but I don't like it. His last injury bothered him for the better part of a year. Losing to the Thunder sucks, but losing Tyrese to an achilles would be immeasurably worse

Hali, rope them dopes!

I hope they don't go overboard trying to target him. Excessively trying to target a particular player sometimes backfires because doing so takes you from the natural tendencies of your offense.

Just need one of the of the other bench guys outside of Caruso to show up tonight and OKC should win this.

It was a good sign seeing Cason Wallace finally start knocking down open looks.

No idea what to think about tonight. But then again, we have been the bizzaro Pacers throughout this year. So, who knows?

Let's go and hope we push it to 7!

Hoping Pacers get the W and no missile sirens during the game :party:

Hali starting is purely ceremonial. Dude won't be able to move

That walkout would be hilarious if they lose. Carlisle with many men was funny.

Ok, so basically what the broadcast is saying is that what is happening here is that Hali is simply going to give it a shot. If it doesn't feel healthy, he'll sit.
