I remember what Haliburton's dad did to Giannis.

Ironic I made this post and Haliburton got injured a minute later.

That was kind of weird.

The amount of Achilles injuries now is crazy, hate to see it. The East next season is pretty wiped out by injuries and it’s June

This is OKC 105th game. They're healthy (and a lot of luck goes into that). It's really hard to win a championship. I'm forever thankful we got one (and yes I want more)

I'm going have to disagree here. Last year kd had 26.6 on 64%TS. Prime joe johnson was never close to that amount of points and miles away from that efficiency. Add in added length for better defense.... And prime joe johnson was a borderline all NBA guy. "Needle mover" is relative but adding a all NBA guy for the price they paid is a steal even if for two years.

Turner will look back in 10 years and wonder why he didn’t give more effort. Good stretch for him game 3 defensively, but everything else has been extremely poor.

Fouling a guy catching a lob should not only be a shooting foul but it should be a flagrant too. It's dangerous.

OKC may wanna think about putting some distance between them and IND right now. Missed an opportunity to kick IND while they were down after that injury.

Yea that injury either deflates Indy, or charges them to rise up for their teammate. But okc can control which way if they are smart.

The karma and no sympathy posts are odd. Don't be losers.

It’s SUPER cool and SUPER edgy not to have sympathy for an injured player because they have previously beaten you fair and square.

Why though and why almost always top players?

Get the best team of achilles specialists on the payroll tomorrow for Giannis.

I really hope Haliburton didn't blow his Achilles

It's bizarre. I think maybe has to do with the high volume of off balance planting and bursting in iso situations-- lots of strain on the tendons doing the work.
