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

[In The Zone '98]

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

Ownership doesn't care about you. If they did, they'd shut you down

Ofc the player is gonna say he's good

Regular season injury protocol has to follow the regular season. No matter the stakes!!!

how do u tear ur achilles at like 24?

that used to be a geezer with miles injury

Them little nikkas got miles on em from age 10

 

[CantStop]

WTF are u talking about????

That injury has nothing to do with age

Man stfu

are you retarded...

data has shown before the uptick of achilles injury that it was an old man injury

the average age of achilles tear when Kobe tore his was 30 ish

 

[Dem313wayz]

so do this mean that we should auto treat calf strains like Achilles tears?

Yea regular season you'll be out at minimum 2 weeks

 

[Nero Christ]

Wallace ain't no Artest/Pippen/Kawhi name to be getting away wit shyt like that

Carlisle needs to bring Nembhard back in

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.

There's no guarantees you'll ever get back to the Finals. You have to play for a chance to get a ring.

I’ve never seen 3 stars go out with a torn Achilles in the same season.

and?

things happen...

still doesnt mean theres a conspiracy

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

Aaron Gordon woulda been out for the year within 2-3 games had the nuggets won game 7

 

[pete clemenza]

OKC playing tight. Indy can stay in this game if they make some shots

 

[Chrishaune]

Dead ass, SGA is nice but he looks like a Temu second three peat Mike with his moves sometimes. Kills me young nikkas think Mike wouldn’t smoke modern NBA as well

Mike's attacking game would scare these players today. Him jamming on everybody, and I mean everybody, would have these dudes worshipping him. Mike was going to make you submit. There hasn't been 1 player like him since. Kobe didn't have the athleticism to scare people like Mike. Fastest and the highest jumping ability.

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

They kept saying the Pacers was sacrificing shyt to make it this far. And after possessed siakim in the last game they better have some shyt in the tuck

 

[Po pimp]

fukk a game 7 if we talking about your entire career being altered or gone.

Why do they play the game? Besides, he’s 24. He can come back from this.

Haliburton did just what any of us would have done if our team had a chance at a title and we were a focal piece.

This isn’t anyone’s fault it’s just some unfortunate bullshyt that happened. Sometimes life happens.
