Ah fuck no.... that Haliburton injury doesn't look good. His calf muscles snapped.

[-] scytale@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago

Definitely achilles. You could see it snap in the slow mo replay. Sigh.

Welp, I guess that’s it. What an anti-climactic ending. Teams can only wish refs called their defense the way they do OKC.

[-] scytale@lemmy.zip 2 points 9 months ago

This is where you see Hali’s importance. Their offense suddenly stops moving when he’s out. TJ is a good backup and has helped them a ton, but he’s not as great a playmaker.

[-] Tugboater203@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

To be fair, every time he passes it they turn it over

[-] Tugboater203@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Who's going to step up for the Pacers?

[-] scytale@lemmy.zip 3 points 9 months ago

Nembhard, Nesmith, TJ, and Toppin need to collectively step up.

I can't believe these fucking rejects are the people ESPN trots out for halftime show of game 7 of the NBA finals.

[-] rezz@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

ESPN product is so horrific it is mind boggling. They have to be produced by reality TV wannabes at this point because that is what the editing feels like.

[-] Tugboater203@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

I'm pulling for the Pacers, but if SGA wants to be The Man in OKC he needs to bring it big now.

TJ is doing some work.

Cautiously optimistic for the win tonight.

[-] scytale@lemmy.zip 1 points 9 months ago

Lmao Hali doing a no-look pass when it’s obviously a pass to Siakam.

[-] garretble@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Welp, I guess game seven it is, then, ha.

The bench unit going hard exhausted the Thunder so now the Pacers starters are taking advantage of the tired OKC starters. This is what the Pacers needed, that bench production.

[-] scytale@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

Halftime. Carlisle should keep the bench unit in when they’re cooking. Turner hasn’t really been great outside of the occasional 3 once a quarter. I also like how aggressive the Pacers are compared to the past 2 games. If refs won’t give them the same easy fouls as the Thunder, then they should just go hard and attack the paint.

[-] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

Carlisle waited too long to bring in TJ back in 2nd half. He came in only at the end of 3rd.

[-] scytale@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

Bout time someone gave OKC a taste of their own medicine (suffocating defense).

[-] garretble@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Alright, Thunder, we gotta stay the course here and get this win.

[-] rezz@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I am sad thunder noises.

[-] rezz@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Today we find out if this is a series or not. Good luck fellas.

Obi jumps so high but can’t grab a freakin rebound.

[-] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

OMG!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!! OMFG!!!!!!!!1

[-] rezz@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

This is so fucking exciting.

[-] scytale@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

Pacers shook off the jitters. We have a game!

[-] rezz@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Did your instance die?! New account?

[-] scytale@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah lemm.ee is sadly shutting down at the end of the month.

[-] rezz@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Didn’t notice you were .ee — they had some good forums too. Bummer.

[-] scytale@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah, one of the best ran instances IMO. The admins just couldn’t keep up with all the trolls and unruly users. This is why we can’t have nice things.

Holy SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PACERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[-] scytale@lemmy.zip 1 points 10 months ago

End of Q3 as of this commrnt. This game feels like a blowout but the score is surprisingly close.

[-] RandAlThor@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago

OKC is playing great, the refs are helping. for some reason!
