“All Indy all day,” he told PK Press Club Digital on Friday at Fanatics Fest in New York.
Rose has delved into Tyrese Haliburton, which has known its just part of memorable moments in the playoffs this year. In the first match of the final of the Eastern Conference, he imitated the legend of the Pacers Reggie Miller with a strangulation signal. In match 1 of this series, he struck a match winner with 0.3 seconds to play.
Haliburton played 23 minutes in match 6 when he deals with a indicated calf tension, but if he improves on Sunday, Rose thinks that her prediction is even more obvious.
“I just want Haliburton to be healthy for match 7. If he’s ready to leave, Indiana will win it,” he said.
“He can dribble, pass and shoot, he does the people better around him, he has a contagious smile. I am really rooted for him, I am really rooted for the team, and he will continue to improve.”

Indiana Pacers blows the thunder to organize the first NBA 7 final match since 2016
The Pacers won match 1 because of Haliburton and even took a 2-1 lead after winning the third match in the series. The Thunder then started to show why they won 68 games in the regular season, winning each of the following two.
But with the victory of the Pacers 108-91 on Thursday, Oklahoma City outclassed the Indiana by only seven points in total in the entire series.
A victory for the Pacers on Sunday would give them their first NBA championship. They won three ABA titles in the early 1970s.

As for Oklahoma City, it would be their first championship since 1979, when they were the Seattle Supersonics.
