@NBA for the finals can you please choose announcers from all the broadcast partners…this @ESPNNBA isn’t cutting it…I like the pregame show but the analysts except Breen are meh…imagine a rotation when you got @ReggieMillerTNT@JCrossover@DwyaneWade with Breen, Harlem, Tirico
BREAKING: ESPN is demoting Doris Burke, per @AndrewMarchand
“ABC/ESPN has demoted Hall of Famer Doris Burke from its NBA Finals team and promoted longtime network commentator, Tim Leger, to its No. 1 team, sources briefed on the decision told The Athletic. Legler will pair with longtime lead play-by-player Mike Breen and Richard Jefferson on The Finals.

BREAKING: Free agent center Myles Turner has agreed to a four-year, $107 million deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, plus a player option for year four in 2028-29 and a full 15% trade kicker, sources tell ESPN. Stunner.
It’s time for these ladies to start getting back on those @SpiritAirlines flights vs the charters they have AFTER @CaitlinClark22 came in.
It’s beyond me how there can be so much hate/jealously for one player.
Numbers don’t lie…CC is a major reason where the @WNBA is today.
Man. Don’t know how to explain it other than shock. Words cannot express the pain of this letdown. The frustration is unfathomable. I’ve worked my whole life to get to this moment and this is how it ends? Makes no sense.
Now that I’ve gotten surgery, I wish I could count the number of times people will tell me I’m going to “come back stronger”. What a cliche lol, this shit sucks. My foot feels like dead weight fam. But what’s hurting most I think is my mind. Feel like I’m rambling, but I know this is something I’ll look back on when I’m through this, as something I’m proud I fought through. It feels good to let this shit out without y’all seeing the kid ugly cry.
At 25, I’ve already learned that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know I’ll come out on the other side of this a better man and a better player. And honestly, right now, torn Achilles and all, I don’t regret it. I’d do it again, and again after that, to fight for this city and my brothers. For the chance to do something special.
Indy, I’m sorry. If any fan base doesn’t deserve this, it’s y’all. But together we are going to fight like hell to get back to this very spot, and get over this hurdle. I don’t doubt for a second that y’all have my back, and I hope you guys know that I have yours. I think Kobe said it best when in this same situation. “There are far greater issues/challenges in the world then a torn achilles. Stop feeling sorry for yourself, find the silver lining and get to work with the same belief, same drive and same conviction as ever.” And that’s exactly right. I will do everything in my power to get back right.
My journey to get to where I am today wasn’t by happenstance, I’ve pushed myself every day to be great. And I will continue to do just that. The most important part of this all, is that I’m grateful. I’m grateful for every single experience that’s led me here. I’m grateful for all the love from the hoop world. I don’t “have to” go through this, I get to go through this. I’m grateful for the road that lies ahead. Watch how I come back from this. So, give me some time, I’ll dust myself off and get right back to being the best version of Tyrese Haliburton.

Thank you @Pacers.. This season was a lot of fun.
Fresh off of an Eastern Conference finals appearance last year.. nobody, outside of Indy, expected shit from this team. So when they stumbled out of the gates, everybody wrote them off.. then the All Star break came and went and all of a sudden, DON’T LOOK NOW, The Pacers became the hottest team in basketball.
They were counted out.. overlooked.. voted overrated.. and they showed up in the biggest moments EVERY DAMN TIME (except for tonight.. obviously)
We’re all bummed for Tyrese.. actually sick to our stomachs for him.. He was playing thru a lot for this city, and ultimately will have to sacrifice his entire life to get back healthy to try and do it all again. I appreciate the hell out of him, Pascal, TJ, Obi, Myles, Nembhard, Nesmith, Mathurin, JJ, TB13, Sheppard, Thomas Bryant, Coach Tricky Ricky Carlisle and his staff..
This city came together and was insanely joyful while rallying around this gritty team.
It was truly a HELL OF A RIDE. This city will be very grateful forever.
CONGRATS TO OKC on becoming NBA Champions. Your team and fanbase were first class. WELL EARNED.
As a @Pacers fan we got our asses handed to us…but for the betterment of the @NBA can we please not let @ESPNNBA call anymore finals starting next year. My 6 year old nephew gives better color commentary than @heydb & @Rjeff24
Folks ask how NBA could allow Scott Foster to keep reffing big games. Donaghy told us. Outcomes aren’t rigged/predetermined. League just manipulates how game is played. Pacers on wrong end vs. OKC last night.
Yep! That’s me. Who would’ve thought….I can multi-task. Especially during TIMEOUTS! Hope y’all are enjoying the NBA Finals.
This is going 7 games now, peeps!
