Spoiler:
Why is is that when basketball and soccer players get injured, they cry like little girls?

They say you can win a few games after your star player gets hurt, but long term it always catches up with you. But this isn't long term, it's just one game! LFG!

Indy can’t afford to have their role players trying to do it themselves

And destroy your career. Not everyone comes back from that.

I'm an old and I know this isn't a perfect parallel but I'm reminded of the 2000 playoffs. Duncan suffered a knee injury right before the playoffs and San Antonio refused to let Duncan play because they valued his career over one post-season. Again I know this is one game for a title vs an entire post-season but in retrospect SA clearly made the right call.

Indy can still win
Hali's their best player but they're not overly reliant on anyone
I know it's hard to just go past what just happened but if they can stay in contact these coming minutes I believe they still can do it

It’s wild how playing with a calf injury always seems to lead to Achilles injuries
Back when i think Dame or Tatum tore theirs early in the playoffs, i was reading something that said because their ankles are so heavily taped now days, there is nowhere for the stress/strain to go so the Achilles ruptures.
