Made an impact, yes. Obviously.

Would have won them the game? Nah.

Hali kinda struggled most of the finals. It's not like he was lighting it up dominating. His replacement TJ did a great job too and for a stretch there was absolutely dominant rofl. TJ scored 10 straight for the Pacers by himself in the 3rd quarter it was pretty nasty.




It's a shame Hali got hurt but OKC wasn't losing regardless. Maybe a closer game? Yes.

derp.

its like saying curry didn't matter he was out

3 assists and 7 turnovers. stop the cap

So youre saying Pacers winning with Hali?

absolutely

anyone know what 18/57 is? how about 6/28 from 3?

the 3 guards who shot those numbers were a combined +36, but surely having Hali wouldnt have changed anything

Nobody is saying it wouldnt have changed anything lol

They still wouldnt have won though. Thats all. More competitive certainly. Maybe a nail biter at the end who knows.

Haliburton was averaging 11 PPG in OKC in the 3 games prior in this series. Eleven. Last time out the guy couldn't hit a single bucket (literally 0).

Anyways, good series, Pacers overachieved like crazy and made it far more competitive than anyone could have seen coming. But OKC was the best team in the league. It's a shame Hali got hurt when he did.

Why does it matter what he was averaging in OKC? in the biggest moments the entire playoffs he stepped up, including early in game 7 where he already had 9 points. good chance game is over at halftime if hali didnt get hurt

bears suck

Game is over at wut?? It was TIED when he got hurt and that was with the Pacers on fire to open the game (unsustainable anyway).

Star out theory etc helped em for a while though.
