“Everything is Indy all day,” he told Fox News Digital at Fanatics Fest in New York on Friday.
Rose raved about Ty Halliburton, who has a significant proportion of memorable playoff moments this year. In Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, he mimicked the Pacers legendary Reggie Miller with a choke signal. In Game 1 of this series, he hit the winner of the game with 0.3 seconds remaining.
Halliburton played 23 minutes in Game 6 as he handled reported calf tensions, but Rose thinks his predictions are even more obvious if it gets even better by Sunday.
“I hope Halliburton is healthy in Game 7. If he’s ready to go, Indiana is going to win it,” he insisted.
“He can dribble, pass, shoot, he makes the people around him better. He has an infectious smile. I’m really rooting for him. I’m really rooting for the team.

The Pacers won Game 1 for Halliburton and after winning the third game of the series, they took a 2-1 series lead. The Thunder then began to show why they won 68 games in the regular season, winning the next two.
However, with Pacer’s 108-91 win on Thursday, Oklahoma City outscored Indiana by a total of seven points across the series.
The Pacer victory on Sunday would give them their first NBA championship. They won three ABA titles in the early 1970s.
