Not buying the bad leg - especially since he probably put up a triple double back in Indy.

He does have a softness in terms of being way too deferential in many big games --- think he'd understand he can't just check out.


Hate to be that guy, but JB has never disappeared as much as Hali in these playoffs. Or ever.
Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right. - The Tick

I wonder if the Pacers fans will find a way to blame the game five loss on Scott Foster?

Watching the physicality and exhaustive pace of this finals our entire team would have been in the hospital by game 2.

Hali is a good player, but he throws in a dud like this far too often. Just invisible. Jalen might push too hard on a bad shooting night, but he is always gonna be aggressive and has managed to salvage a lot of games

Really weird player. He is the definition of a momentum player. He turns it up another notch when things are already going well.

His issue is he has a bad back, ham issues and a strained calf now.
He was hurt in the olympics last year and last years playoffs.
His issues are nearly chronic.
He is skinny and not durable like Reggie was. The “Checking out” or “Soft” is also due to playing in pain.
Sorry, I won’t revel in another’s misery. The guy is no doubt obnoxious but more times than not he has been brilliant and he got them to a 2-1 lead and its been a close series. In the finals mind you!
Jalen is home resting.

Indy had Thunder on the ropes in game 4. Thunder came back cuz thats what chip winning teams do. They figured it out.
Hali is built like MIkal but is missing the “it” gene when it comes to durability. Making warm up shots vs. lateral movement with a strained calf in real time is not indicative of a mentally soft player. This ****er too many times is ice cold downt the stretch to warrant him as mentally checked out. He is injured. He should sit if he can’t make shots. Remember Ewing and the finger roll vs. dunk? Patrick was hurt and played too much. True warrior and we celebrated that but he has admitted he hurt the teams at times by playing. Haliburtern is a douche. But at least respect what he has done to now.

Maybe the path to enlightenment is thru humility. The Karma of **** talking and over exuberance comes back him?
He comes off disrespectful to his peers with his display. Its ok to "feel it" and be empowered but this dude over does it.
He needs to watch tape of Clyde and "Be Cool".
Jalen seems to contain his emotions on both sides. I admire that of him.

Pre-game handshakes or whatever you call them have become the cringiest thing in the NBA.

The only conclusion I can come to is that OKC needs to fire their coach tonight. - Leon, probably.

Hali must have been SO HURT —— just a remarkable comeback from life threatening bogus calf injury in 48 hours.
