the most important part of being an indiana basketball fan is understanding the on court result is directly your fault and if they lose it’s probably some moral failing on your part

coming down from the shock of it earlier this unfortunately the best thing for both parties, myles gets paid and pacers get a chance to try something new at center in what will probably be an off year. KP your proud patriots are standing by

literally laying awake thinking about game 7

[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.

hilarious to imagine a world in which your team wins its first championship and your first instinct is to get mad over something extremely reasonable Bill Simmons said online

[The Ringer @ringer]

“The team that I’m going to remember isn’t the one that won the title.”

@BillSimmons and @ZachLowe_NBA react to Tyrese Haliburton’s heartbreaking Achilles injury during Game 7 of the NBA Finals and why it’ll be the lasting legacy of this series.

dismayed by the amount of thunder people i already see on here wading into arguments about a chip that literally happened less than 24 hours ago, please just try to enjoy it and the parade to follow before getting tilted online at WolfPack37 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

soul crushing loss among many indiana soul crushing losses only soothed by andrew nembhard all-star season 🔜

@C2_Cooper this one REALLY hurts but i’m looking forward to seeing what our younger guys can do playing with a fire in their belly and and hoping they keep it going for Tyrese
