As much good luck as Indiana has had this entire playoffs run, this is such bad luck.

I still think they find a way to win it.

Bob Myers warned about it two games ago, calf strain can lead to Achilles. Like KD

Of course he was going to be able to walk with the medical staff is shooting you up with drugs.


there's no universe where a player is heading into a game 7 of the finals and doesn't try to play the game even with a calf injury. especially considering he got through game 6 just fine

A lot of people were saying Carlisle/Indy overhyped the injury to trick OKC game 6. Doesn't look like that now.

The Pacers are wimps, nobody wants to shoot. Siakam and Nembhard are going to have to go off.

100% of players would risk it all to play in a game 7. The chances of you ever getting back here are minimal. Haliburton made the right decision and just had bad luck. **** happens.
