I’m guessing Hali is not coming back, but for just one game anything can happen.

Already, as soon as Haliburton goes out Chet starts dominating the game because the Pacers don't have a shooting threat with McConnell out there. Chet's now just camping in the paint for blocks and rebounds.

Well, losing Hali like that definitely sucks ass. But I still believe in this team. They have fought through adversity at every step of the way. I believe they can rally and deliver a win for both Hali and Matt. The odds are long but when has that ever stopped this team?

Because it was the Achilles. That's what's connected to the calf muscle.

Can't imagine being a Pacers fan right now...If they lose this, they lose the finals and Hali for entire year. Just devastating.

It's been all season long.

I legit said in the opening series their destiny depended on if that was a regular season thing or if that non-call would carry on through the playoffs.

It is what it is.

As a team, you have to hold them out. We’ve seen enough. If this happens to Luka or Wemby they should obviously pull them out


I think that’s impossible and wishful thinking. You take the risk.

How is it wishful thinking. Teams decide who players. If the team trainer doesn’t clear them then they can cry about it next season.

A lot of nervous energy like game 1 and a lot of defensive effort equals a poor 1st quarter with poor execution. Let’s see who can establish some consistent offense.
