When Tyrese went down, I knew it was over. Indiana has a great team

This year was Shea's year.

Regular Season and Playoff MVP and well deserved.

Next time is for Tyrese.

More like that Paul Pierce moment when they carted him off in a wheelchair and he came back ten minutes later with a new pair of legs apparently.
