Haliburton is hurt and on the floor.

 

[BirdGangThing]

dude goes 3 for 4 then hits the floor

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge that sucks

 

[Phrazbit]

Brutal...

That freaking sucks.

I hope his achillies didn't go.

 

[CardsSunsDbacks]

Tore his Achilles, saw it pop...

 

[BirdGangThing]

maaaan that didn't look good

Gutted for him... biggest game of your life and you blow out leg

Achilles, but still sucks like hell.

Nembhard and McConnell are more than capable of running the team, but this hurts.

The Pacers depth will have to step up.

 

[BirdGangThing]

that's just so horrible - score is16 to 18 - pacers had the ball - bench players hadn't even come out yet - freakin bummer

 

[BirdGangThing]

haliburton clearly shouldn't have been out there and will miss so much of next year now

 

[Phrazbit]

Oh no... his achillies popped... you could see it on the replay...

I don't think I've felt this ill for a player on an opposing team.

The injury could give the Pacers a boost mentally.

it would be a miracle for the pacers to win now - their coach would be two away from sainthood

The Pacers developing their depth could pay off, not minimizing the loss of Haliburton.

Both teams seem kinda shook. The quality of play has gone down the toilet.

they showed the replay/achilles on the jumbo

Thunder lead by 3 after 1st quarter.

What is depth?
As a suns fan I’m not familiar with that

First KD, then Tatum, now Halliburton. You think nba teams will finally shut these players with calf strains down playoffs or not?

Add Klay to that list. He popped his right before KD. It may have been right after but I remember it being the same series.

Edit - it was Klay's ACL. He tore his Achilles prior to that injury so I was confused.

it was hali's decision but should've been overruled - i was straight shocked to see him playing in game 6 - that was the game i was worried about but im guessing he didn't push it then with the pacers being so far ahead

A team winning a title in game 7 when their best player goes down with a devastating injury would be one of the crazier scenarios in sports history.

 

[Hoop Head]

Caruso is such a difference maker. I feel like whoever performs better, Caruso or TJ, will be the deciding factor.

Dude stop that’s ridiculous
