Hali played way too many minutes game 6 when the Pacers were already up by 20.

He likely gets injured again but probably plays a few more minutes here in game 7...

It it just a coincidence that Drew Hanlen is involved with all these guys having major injuries.

What a stupid time and question for an interview with the Pacers.

That's where Siakam needs to get his catches. Same with SGA on the other end. Stop trying to take guys from the 3-point line.

They are deep enough to do it. It is only 36 more minutes.

I've worked with a lot of broadcast crews. Most of them don't understand why they still do them.

This reporter in particular though... why the hell would you ask about their feelings regarding Hali's injury? They could at least come up with better questions than this.

Indiana still has a chance. There are games where Hali has played poorly and they still won. They can do this.

If Indy wins this, Hali won't even be able to make it to the parade.....Will be so weird if they win, but I'm rooting for them.

Bradley with the best defensive sequence on Williams. Forced him into a jumper.

If the Pacers win, Siakam probably gets his jersey retired by two franchises

He played 23 minutes in game 6. You could argue that's 23 minutes too much, but when a calf is strained like this it's almost inevitable that the Achilles tendon will tear. Sucks for him, but that's the risk.

Exactly, That isn’t good defense, it is officiating rewarding sloppy defense.

Have you watched the Pacers defense at all these playoffs? All they do is foul and hope it ain't called.

That was Game 6.
Klay and KD both got injured in the Finals?
