Hill had 9 in first quarter Love had a good first half had about 14 or so. Hood made a couple buckets, Korver did not score but was putting effort out there diving on floor, Swish defended his heart out.

Like i said no point of playing eastern conference no one can challenge Gsw or Houston.Cavs aren't close to the team that was destroyed in finals last year, they miss Irving so bad. Bucks played realy good, Thon Maker
was huge for them.Raptors and Wizards is coin flip if wizards can take game 4 it will be 7 game series. Bojan Bogdanović :adore:.

He can be a legit difference maker in the playoffs. You can't sit one of your best players, shooters get hot and cold. If it was the WCF or Finals and the Rockets were in danger of elimination I would consider it, but right now you need to roll with him and let him shoot his way out of it.
Would you sit Harden if he had a couple of off nights shooting?

Playful thinks
They haven't won anything yet. They are an amazing team, that's for sure, but at the end of the day you just need to have a strong team defense that can limit the amount of damage that Harden and CP3 does.
Of course that is easier said than done.
But I still do not see how the Rockets can deal with the Warriors, especially if Curry comes back in any way close to 90% full health.

Can't sit Harden ofcourse. But right now I think they should give Gerald Green more minutes than Gordon. Anderson was shooting well for just coming back. Also the absence of Moute perimeter defence is showing. Ariza and Tucker have been weak offensively. But their defence is strong. I hope they can turn it around because this game was painful to watch. They had Wolves number all season I believe. No reason to start sleeping now.

Gerald Green is the epitome of streaky, I wouldn't want him on the starting lineup on a contender, off the bench is fine for him.

Celtics lost to Bucks after coming back from down 20 .Huge game by Brown, and then he for some reason goes for a quick bucket with 45 seconds left gets fouled but no call bucks hit three next posesion.Didnt get why Celtics go to Morris when he was cold all game they should go to one Rozier,Brown or Tatum for three to win it, bad call by Stevens. Pacers playing hero ball last 5 min cost them a game they will lose this series for sure.Raptors turn into playoff Raptors

I don't disagree but the east if the a raptors lose is open for anyone. Pretty easy path to the finals compared to the west.

Update from Sunday:
Cavs win. Another game yet another starting line up or 3rd in 4 games so far and 33rd of year. We played well good contribution from Clarkson, Hood and Nance in first half. Crucial contribution from Kover in 2nd half which carried us to win, it is nice to seem him back doing what he does (draining 3s) not been an easy time for him with the sudden passing of his younger brother not too long ago. We strguggled again in 3rd quarter but executed in crucial periods of 4th quarter and Pacers missed their shots.
Spurs beat Warriors Durant got no help his supporting cast went cold and Spurs just rallied did not want to get swept again. Series at 3-1 now but expect it to end next game at Oracle.
Wizards beat Raptors series even at 2-2. Derozan was excellent, Lowry was poor coming down stretch. Wall was good, Beal was excellent but he fouled out in 4th and gave Raps a great chance but they did not capitalize. Crucial game 5 coming up in Toronto must win for Raps. This series is a coin flip right now and has the potential to go the distance.
Bucks beat Celtics series now 2-2. Bucks should have won quite easily led huge for long stretches but fell apart somewhat and luckily got over line. Game sums up Celtics season not enough scoring but great coaching and defense keep them in games to end. Celtics has won so many games like this earlier in season was surprising to not see them pull off the victory.
Just two games on tonight very intersting games too.
Twolves host the Rockets. Rockets looking to gain control of series, Twolves looking to keep to tie things up and make it very interesting.
Jazz up 2-1 host the Thunder. Jazz looking to put themselves in great position to win series with a W tonight. This is really it for OKC this is a must win in a building that is tough to win in. We will see what their big 3 are made of.

I want to see both the Rockets and Warriors at full strength, that should be an absolutely phenomenal series to watch.
