Pacers are going to struggle next year if Tyrese is out all year. He is so critical
I don't know if they have gotten better in Achilles ruptures repair and treatment, I am assuming that is the injury? I think they have. Maybe it's not a complete rupture, which would help.

But Aaron Rodgers came back in less than a year, which I think is a breakthrough. Normally, it has taken more than a year to even be 80 - 90 percent of normal. And no guarantee of ever being completely normal again.

So, here's hoping. Tyrese deserves the best. It was a tough way to end the season.

Only 2 Achilles tears I can think of where the player came back relatively the same. KD and Dominique Wilkins. Otherwise, unfortunately, none have really come close to their form, unless I’m missing someone.
Like I said, I think they might have improved the repair technique and treatment of a complete rupture. Case in point, Aaron Rodgers.

It may be too early to tell how much better, if any, they have gotten. It is, and has been, a very tough injury.

Felt like a lot of should wpulda coulda moments I’ve had as a cyclone fan when he went down honestly

Can only imagine the hurt in the Pacers locker room. One thing to maybe get swept or lose in 5 but to literally be 1 win away from it all. Hopefully in time they can reflect on the amazing ride they had to even get to the spot of being 1 win away.

When Salters interviewed SGA she mentioned Tyrese in her first question. Was really hoping he would of taken a moment to say something caring about Tyrese but alas he said nothing.

Normally you'd hear "He's a great player etc and prayers for a good recovery and that he can come back 110%" etc... but alas, not from the crappy OKC organization.

Play foul-laden defense without getting called for it on defense, while playing foul-baiting on offense. Just awful. unpure basketball.
Look like an NBA team to me. Any of them grab their throat after a win? Let's be real Hali talked more **** this postseason than the entire Thunder team combined. Take the Cardinal and gold glasses off dude

The Pacers still may have lost this game with Hali. But it was a tough way to have game 7 go, and to lose the heart and soul of their team, like they did.

I think they had a fighters chance to win it all with a healthy Haliburton. They were trending in that direction when he went down.

He did speak highly of Tyrese in the interview with SVP, and shared that he felt bad for him going down in the biggest game of his career.

I'm directly going after their style of play and why they're hated. No mention of Indiana, nor am I a Pacers fan. My favorite team of all time is the 2014 Spurs, who played good team basketball. This OKC team is the antithesis of that. So no.

OKC plays good team basketball. This team won 68 ******* games. Theyve honeslty had one of the best seasons in NBA history. You cant on one hand whine about Haliurton not getting his due for this and that then discredit OKC considering what they did. Maybe SGA should have grabbed his throat and did the choke thing. Im sure you would have the same reaction as you did when Hali did it right?
