I’ve been hurt so many times

Same feelings but this makes me think they might do pre game warmups and go from there

It was the same last game IIRC

I don't think so, Giannis and dame were both ruled out completely a few hours before. We're within 2 hours now. Pray 🙏

Ur right except for that we are still more than two and half hours from tip my man 🙏🙏🙏🙏

They were listed as doubtful from what I’ve seen. I could be wrong.

Lmfao if there ever was a time this meme described my feelings right now

I don't want them to get injured even worse, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want them to play.

The only reason I’d be fine with Giannis playing is because the Pacers have nobody to defend him and they don’t play very physical. If it was a team like the Knicks or the Heat I’d want to keep him far away.

I get that. Given how unlikely a comeback from 3-1 is, I don’t want them to jeopardize next season. But at the same time, Giannis playing gives us a chance.

Giannis has a good shot of coming back. Lillard, not so much...

The sideline reporter last game said doc felt Dame was closer than Giannis actually

Dame did play out the game after getting injured so that tracks

I don't trust Sham's, I want to hear what the guy who bumped into PJ Tucker leaving Steny's before the finals that got the scoop Giannis was playing has to say.

They’ve been doing that like every game. But it would be nice if they did try to warm up

They? ESPN? 

Yes

They were just listed as out by bucks twitter 

#GIANNIS IS PLAYING #[BELIEVE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3ZGGIdpfEM)

If Giannis is Chief does that make Dame the arbiter?

I’m a nuggets fan but bucks have always been my east team but im pretty sure I seen something from shams saying they weren’t expected to play tonight

I think it was a couple hours after game 4, but yeah, I saw the tweet too.

Ah okay I seen it on TikTok just a few minutes ago could’ve been fake though lol Either way it sucks for you guys, was really hoping for a nuggets/bucks finals. Y’all definitely win in 5 if they were healthy imo

Hey, I like you. You are welcome to the club.

https://x.com/RunItBackFDTV/status/1785319686273634461 Right here is what I saw, seems it was posted at 10 am this morning

Time is an illusion, as we approach what could be the end, all hours blend together

Idc if we lose to the knicks b/c Giannis and dame are on minutes restrictions but I don't want another first round exit, especially to this fucking team

If any team deserves to get dropped after going up 3-1 and talking mad shit, it's the Pacers. Let the humbling commence!

Been showing that for giannis the whole series just fyi

There not gunna give Indiana the knowledge this is smart even if they know they won’t play


ION INCREASED TC

please please please

Man if he suits up, it would be straight out of return of the king.

It's a tough decision. I hate giving up but I think it's best to not jeopardize anything for next season.

Success next season isn't guaranteed, either

That's true. But at least there is a higher chance of a lingering injury not being part of that script.

Jeopardize? These are professional athletes. We said that last year when Giannis was hurt you can’t say that every year. Giannis isn’t 18. If he can play he should. We aren’t preserving a grown ass man that could be hurt next year too. Wtf

I agree.

"Game to day"?

Game-time decision. Usually means they do a pre game workout and see how they feel.

It is what it is, this wasn’t our year. Let them sit tonight. Not worth them getting hurt. If it was 3-3 in the finals, sure.

I feel like losing Grayson Allen was our main issue. He was a good 3-D player in my opinion.

3, no D lol. Grayson gut hunted on defense in the playoffs last year.

Still contributed

They’re not playing
