OKCEAL Team Six Hunts Down The Haliban! | Official Thunder (#1) vs. Pacers (#4) 2025 NBA Finals Thread

Now people see why Kawhi tells people when he is or is not going to play

Kawhi physically cannot get through a full NBA schedule. All Kawhi's knees can handle is a college basketball style schedule. Anything more than that and he's gonna need a cane at 50.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

If KD didn't convince the players and training staff, this Haliburton injury will. It is not worth playing through a calf strain even if its one game

If this was anything other than the Finals (or Game 7 of the ECF), I have no doubts Indiana would've rested him. But I don't think you'll convince any of these guys to not play during the Finals.

Unfortunately, he just paid the ultimate price.

 

[Ziggiy]

his support system failed him

letting him push through when they know the pattern

they saw it coming & let greed walk them into tragedy

Star players make their own decisions in these type of situations. Game 7. Championship on the line. A chance at basketball immortality. 99% of star players are taking that chance.

It can either end up like Willis Reed or Kevin Durant. But this is what it means to dedicate your life to professional sports.

McConnell looking like Jeremy Lin against Miami.

Stay safe to Hali’s Achilles

 

[darryl]

WTF are u talking about????

That injury has nothing to do with age

Man stfu

Breh why are you so angry?

 

[Rekkapryde]

Stfu fake militant. It seems like y'all be jealous y'all can't get white women or something. You ain't fooling nobody

 

[ReggieFlare]

The Pacers can still do this, they just have to actually believe they can. They still look a little shaken up right now

 

[EndDomination]

Refs doing what they can to carry OKC

 

[Jean toomer]

Ima need a Haliban Willis Reed moment... at least make it out to the bench by the 4th quarter.

If it’s his achilles… it’s a Jesus walking on water moment.

 

[FunkDoc1112]

AAU culture has also got to change because a lot of these guys' tendons and ligaments are already marinated before they get to the league now

 

[get my pool]

how do u tear ur achilles at like 24?

that used to be a geezer with miles injury

Playing on the strained calf. Achilles ended up overcompensating

 

[Po pimp]

Ppl need to stop playing on strained calves. Listen to your body

Can’t miss game 7 of the Finals if you can walk/run. I’m sure he was well aware of the risks. Getting to the Finals isn’t guaranteed.

 

[Houston911]

Refs cheating

Make shai sit let’s make this shyt interesting

 

[CrimsonTider]

Brutal for Tyrese

This is why you don’t play on strained muscles but I’m sure there’s no regrets

If you can walk you can play. Only in the nba would someone have this thought
