00:00But as far as the Pacers go, they obviously will have backs against the wall on Thursday night.

00:05Tyrese Halliburton had some night.

00:08He didn't make a field goal.

00:10He had a pretty empty stat sheet.

00:11He was 0 for 6 from the floor.

00:13He did have 7 boards and 6 assists.

00:15He had 4 points.

00:16They were all from the line.

00:18I saw this this morning.

00:19He was pretty good.

00:20He's the first player in NBA Finals history to record no field goals, no steals, no blocks,

00:27have 3 or more turnovers, have 3 or more fouls, and play 30-plus minutes in an NBA final game.

00:34First player ever to do all that.

00:37It's pretty obvious he's the most overrated player in the NBA.

00:41Of course, strained right calf, which he'll have an MRI on today, he said last night at least,

00:49I don't really care what happens.

00:51I'm playing on Thursday.

00:52I miss NBA Finals.

00:53It's the Finals, man.

00:54I've worked my whole life to be here, and I want to be out there to compete, help my teammates any way I can.

01:02I was not great tonight by any means, but it's not really a thought of mine to not play here.

01:09Not great. That's one way I'm looking at it.

01:11If I can walk, then I want to play.

01:14So, you know, they understand that and, you know, it is what it is, and, you know, got to be ready to go for game six.

01:21Yeah, I actually don't believe for one minute that he can be effective at all with this problem.

01:28And, in fact, I'll bet the MRI comes back that he has, you know, some level of strain that it's affecting him enough that he couldn't hit a shot.

01:39And everyone said he wasn't limping around.

01:43What's the difference between limping around and missing every single shot you took?

01:47What's the difference between limping around and turning the ball over like he did and making bad plays?

01:53What's the difference between limping around?

01:56As long as I can walk, I'm going to play.

01:57But you can't run, and you can't guard anyone, and you can't get your shot anymore, and you have become a liability, and you're easy to guard.

02:06That's what you are now.

02:07You're not a factor in this thing anymore at all.
