“Unethical tank” our superstar tore his Achilles in Game 7 of the NBA Finals

[John Richardson @johndrichardson]

The Indiana Pacers are still the only team in NBA history to never get the 1st overall pick. They are also the only team in NBA history to never have a 1st overall pick ever play for them.

[WOJ ARTEST🇦🇺 @NbaWoody]

Most cursed franchise in history.

Every generation ruined by something without fail.

Investigate Myles Turner for his Finals performance @FBI @FBIDirectorKash

[Yeah Yeah! @YeahYeahOkBro]

Ironic when the Pacers could have had one if Myles didn’t become the worst center in NBA history in the finals

[Tyrese Haliburton @Hali]

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.

EASTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPIONS.

[Indiana Pacers @Pacers]

since 1996-97, teams that have trailed by 7+ in the final 50 seconds of the fourth quarter or OT in the playoffs are 4-1,702.

we have 3 of those wins, and they're all this year.

[James Boyd @RomeovilleKid]

And can we give Aaron Nesmith his flowers? He’s one of the best competitors I’ve ever seen! Pacers are DEAD if he doesn’t give that all-out effort until the final horn.

[AKRiley @AKRileyy5]

If Caitlin Clark can wear the playoff shirt so can you

As a coach I would get thrown out after seeing this call.

Guy, my toddler left his toy at an @IHGhotels while traveling. We called them, and they said they would get it in the mail for us. This morning I opened my email and had this from them:

Please repost and help them get some recognition for awesome customer service!
