1. Broo thats crazy Tyrese got injured. Congrats to OKC for the ring

2. Unfortunately there’s an asterisk on this one.

3. That atmosphere in OKC looked insane. Those are some real fans!

4. One of the most rigged finals since the 2006. Crazy

5. NBA players are way to tall to not do the most soft tissue work of all pro athletes. Tight muscles equal tight tendons which can lead to torn ligaments. Everything is connected.

6. Without that injury Indiana definitely wins this game

7. Basketball sucks

8. Haliburton always gets injured during critical games

9. Must be one of the worst feelings for a star player to get injured on game 7, praying Haliburton gets better

10. wow. hands down the weakest celebration by players in the history of the nba. jordan, kobe, lebron all had teams that went crazy when they won. no one watched this series and i have a feeling that the nba will never make this mistake again

11. I’m not a fan of either team. A shame for both. OKC won, but there will always be a shadow over the game and the championship. Halliburton had come out on fire and the Pacers were leading by several when he hit the floor. The question marks will last forever…If he hadn’t been injured…

12. Lame celebration at the end

13. This was the pacers last chance for a championship

14. Best NBA finals

15. Seeing that calf pop was heartbreaking. This was a great series and it’s terrible that’s how it ended for Haliburton.

16. Indy can’t have nothing nice, bro

17. What a game. Speedy recovery, Haliburton 🙏🏻

18. What a tragic end to one of the best NBA finals I’ve seen

19. @Sean Jenkins: Tragic? You’re getting ridiculous.

20. Was overall a disappointing end to a great finals with the Hali injury. I’m glad the Pacers cut it to 10 with 3 and a half to go & kept us wondering. Really goes to show their resilience. That 3rd qtr and all of those turnovers was the difference. Incredible run by them, and mad respect for the admiral fight they put up. Huge congrats to OKC though. Those fans have experienced a lot of heart break too over the years, and Presti’s job at re-building this team after failing to get it done with their last core was nothing short of spectacular. Well earned

21. It must suck to be an OKC fan. You are one of the most loyal fanbases in the league, contenders for almost 20 years now, gotten close so many times, and yet when you finally win one it will go down as possibly the greatest “what if” in nba history. And to the people who say they didn’t “deserve” this, the Thunder were two wins away from 70, they were clearly the best team overall, but man it just sucks for OKC fans.

22. This was an awesome finals series, and it’s a shame that Tyrese Haliburton had to leave the game because of an Achilles injury. The Thunder have been the best team in basketball, and they played like it in the 2nd half. They earned their first title since they were the Seattle Supersonics back in 1979

23. Halliburton might wanna calm down with the choke gesture next time 😅

24. this championship has been 17 years in the making. Thunder have been so close and finally got it. Well deserved

25. Siakam how can you be absent the entire second half especially when Ty is down…

26. Toppin, Turner & Siakam should go hide under a rock

27. You can see his achilles stretch and then pop.

28. @Donald Thomas: Karma for his dad being a punk

29. Clippers are dumb trading away SGA

30. Pacers would’ve won if Hali didn’t get ingured

31. Great game and season

32. The Pacers showed the heart of a champion the entire postseason. They came up juuuuust short. They must be absolutely devastated. You really feel for those players. Hats off to both teams for this magnificent series.

33. YEEAAHHHHH BABY! ! ! . . . . Where’s haliburton sr. NOW??! . . . .THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR DISRESPECTING GIANNIS!”😂😂😂😂

34. You can tell McConnell is getting ready to cry. Cocky Indiana thought they had it in the bag. LOL!
    The ironic thing is the Thunder has been in existence for 17 years with a championship!

    The Pacers? 58 years and ZERO chips! You guys do know that a player never fully recovers from a major achilles heel injury right?

35. F u thunder let’s go pacers

36. First Tatum, now Hali. These mulattos just aint built for it.

37. Weakest finals of all time

38. Everybody in the building knew Haliburton wasn’t coming back, Pacers are up 1 at halftime, why did Carlisle decide to sit Siakim for all that time in he 3rd,….Ain’t no way SGA should’ve played more minutes then Siakim or Nembhard smh

39. This game was Pacers vs Refs. Scott Foster “the extender” and the other Refs are the worst refs in NBA history. Also Pacers had bad offense, defense, committed too many turnovers, and did not make their shots. Also Haliburton should have made the most shots and had the highest stats, not Pascal Siakam. Also it was Haliburton’s fault he got injured and with him and improving on the reasons above and winning games 2, 4 and 7, the Pacers would have won the championship.
