It’s hard enough to watch the games on ESPN, but I do not watch those pregame shows with those idiots anymore.

It's pointless to watch.  Zero credit given to Boston.  Just the same narrative that Tatum has had a terrible playoffs

Jayson Tatum has averaged 25.2 points, 10.2 rebounds and 5.6 assists in 12 games in the 2024 playoffs.  Plus 1.1 steals ans .7 blocks yet they act like he hasn't impacted winning.  He's averaging a dbl dbl for gosh sakes with great assists and D.  His shooting is definitely subpar but he's still a beast yet they just want to be negative about him.

I feel the same about the pre-game shows on ESPN but Burke is one of the least annoying of them, for me.

Halliburton may have avoided a serious injury

Questionable tomorrow. Could play.

I will be shocked if he plays tomorrow. Pacers aren’t going to say anything but questionable. Just like the Knicks did with OG before most games.

Same with Cleveland and Mitchell, Allen. They knew those guys were not playing but listed them as questionable

It’s the same injury as earlier in the year. It was non contact and he limped heavily after the game. That’s not an injury that gets better in a day and if he does he’s not going to be anywhere near 100 percent.

Doris Burke’s default binky is Haliburton, but as soon as the C’s go on a run, the ESPN team suddenly starts complementing them. They are pure front-runners and it’s a bit nauseating.

I've looked at the replay numerous times and I'm still not sure how Haliburton reaggravated it. Yes he did grimace a tiny bit after but he's done that many times before, his injury never fully healed anyways. Carlisle even said he continues to get treatment on it to this day. No one has reported the severity or anything either.

He has to play. They're down 0-2. They got the home crowd to back them up and are pretty tough to beat in Indy...can easily tie it back up 2-2 in their perspective.

Of course they are going to compliment players when they are making plays.  They have replays to show and talk about.  Complimenting players when they are screwing up makes no sense at all.  Ooops the player just dribbled the ball off his foot but normally he's a great ball handler.  LOL!!

If he can’t run, jump, cut he will be a plus for the Celtics if he goes
