Is Haliburton being hurt good or bad for Indy? Simple yes or no question.

I will answer after you answer my question which came first

I mean, we all see the same games. He's been pretty mediocre and then game 5 he was playing hurt. Hit a couple big shots though.

OK your turn

Yes

 

[msgkings322]

Yes

Oh shit I fucked that up LOL

I'll try again:

Is Haliburton being hurt bad for Indy? Simple yes or no question.

Agree here too, that said, you both seem to be pretty unimpressed with Haliburton's importance...I would think you'd suggest they trade him for a ton of assets

In this particular matchup.

Not overall.

 

[thunderc]

That is for sure.

But IMO, the reason is not because of Hali’s play.

It is because they essential y lose a high impact bench guy who is now likely to get Dorted.

Dorted is a verb? I like it

Lakers have reportedly made trade offer for Walker Kessler​

MSN

Utah Jazz beat writer Andy Larsen says that he believes the Lakers have made a trade offer for Walker Kessler, but that talks have not gotten serious yet. Says no need to photoshop him into a Lakers uniform just yet.

Says he believes the offer includes multiple picks, but doesn't mention potential players...I'd assume they're not getting Kessler without giving up Reaves.

Also, to reiterate what triggered bks, him being hurt makes it more of a challenge for Indy

I do not understand what is not super obvious about this. If the guy who has made the most clutch shots in the post season and is arguably the teams best player is hurt- it makes it very difficult to win. Yah- Indy has plenty of good players which they proved tonight, but in no world does losing a player of Haliburton's caliber do anything but make it much much more difficult to win.
