I always knew TJ Mcconell was good, but thats because I always watched him kill the Magic.

Haliburton had one of the more memorable runs in NBA history with all his late game heroics.

Someone on the GB mentioned that they (Hali and Tatum) train with Drew Hamlin… any of our guys train with Drew?

BTW... if you are bringing that up... im also bringing this up. As someone on GB posted , all 3 EC stars in these playoff ruptured their achillies wearing jersey number 0.

Drew Hanlin sounds scarier than the number 0. Maybe Drew was putting them on certain exercises that was placing undue stress on the Achilles or other injury spots.

A lot of other team fans now say we are geniuses with the all in Bane move after what happened to IND lol

Still... Dame Tatum and Hali... all wore 0. Qll got achillies in the 25 playoffs..

Okc earned it but it sucks to see an epic ending setup to turn out like that, took the juice out of it for me

I think the Pacers would've had a chance with Haliburton. They would've scored more.

SGA a foul baiting goon my goodness. Sucks because I think Indy wins with Haliburton

**** espn what they did to TJ McConnell was disgusting following him with a camera…

I love Haliburton. Hated to see him go down.

Also, East wide open next year.

Trillen · Post #137 » by **Trillen** » Mon Jun 23, 2025 2:57 am

To be fair I've never exactly felt enthused with the outcome of the finals but man with Haliburton's injury this one is left feeling exceptionally depressing, lol.

Hard not to feel awful for him and for the fans with what's looming next year likely without him.

Can't imagine the heartbreak for Indy fans. It really sucks to see that happen.

Tragic injury aside, I was rooting for OKC. They are the better team. Realistically, Indy had a great run and kudos to them for that run, but they never had any real business being there. If they had won, people would have wanted to try emulating them, which would be a delusion. People are still going to overrate them and want to emulate them and I'm not looking forward to it.
