Amazing that the Pacers are still in it, will be even more if they can stay close the whole game.
Making extreme statements like "only" sounds like there are "no" Jokics in this draft? Jokic is an engine that was drafted in the 2nd round. Always a chance to see diamond dropped by sloppy burgular after a theft.

What a shame to see the Pacers run go out in this way

Hate to see Hali go down like that, and I hope he recovers completely and quickly.
This OKC team is really good with their D and offensive rebounding. Without Hali, it makes it that much more easy for OKC to keep Indiana’s scorers in check. Congrats to both teams and especially to OKC for a great season.

Absolutely -- & it was a great Finals series as well. At least until Haliburton went down.

How many players have had a previously diagnosed calf strain and ultimately ended up tearing their achilles? I feel like this is the 4th or 5th player this year that it's happened to. Obviously I'm not a doctor but it feels like there is a correlation between a calf strain and Achilles. Tyrese was never going to sit out but its not a shocker it happened. Sucks too b/c I thought Indy looked good from the jump and probably could have won.

Skeletor will just have to bide his time until the Wemby era and the battle of the Texas teams kicks-in

I had to turn the game off after the injury. Too depressing to see in that situation.
