Curry has somewhat a lot of loose strings to tie this year. Not just his shooting percentage was down but his fouls committed, but un-characteristics of him. Gordon is the big factor in their win, first two games he was a non factor but this time he exploded thus opening the game for Houston, and of course Tucker contribution on the defense as well.

Defense will be the big factors for this game, both teams have superb performance in terms of offensive attacks, but the defense will bring the win, I'm sure a lots of adjustment will happen seeing that the whole team of Houston is no longer relying with hardens capabilities but they are also participating and  really playing as a team.

In the other hand, Curry's presence this coming game will be the game changer as KD and the rest playing in a good shapes.

Again with the intense game of Denver and Portland. Both are really good with their defense. It is not the usual Portland but looks like they are trying to at least handle it all.

If I am the Denver coach, they'd better get some new plays.
Plays for Murray who can shoot inside and outside and also for Jokic for post up plays.

Make the paint as movable as possible for him. The switches should come faster if a double team comes near Jokic. They need to be free and shoot without hesitation.
No worries about the passing ability of Jokic. He can do it even while posting.

Toronto tied the series with a good win. Leonard show's why he is the leader of this team with 39 points and hitting a clutch three with 1 minute to go. And good to see Gasol and Lowry stepping and scoring 16 and 14 points, the score 101-96.

Nuggets was able to tie the series as well, winning 116-112. Jokic has a triple double, had 21 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists, while McCollum had 29 points and Lillard added 28 points.

Why forced to Game 7? Much better if they will forced on a win every game at any cost. If it will reached to Game 7 then so be it.

In terms of playoffs appearance, we can really seen veterans here. Nothing new.

About the performance, yes age might be a factor.

Even with Curry's off-game, Warriors still managed to get closed. Therefore, Durant or the whole Warriors played well. It's just that it's not enough. Let's just appreciate what Rockets did and not just because someone in Warriors got an off-night player's or Durant doesn't received any help. It's a disrespect for Rockets effort as we are only looking on one side.

And for Curry, he already knows what to do. He and his team was used to play on intense playoffs game. They are in the finals for several years.

And more importantly, Curry is not usually seen having a 2 consecutive bad game performance. That's what Rockets need to be prepared and surely they already knows that.

Golden State Warriors vs. Houston Rockets later.

Going with GSW later and others are talking about game 7 already. Let's give the match the focus for now and see if its going to 3-1 for this series.

Celtics not looking good this time, Giannis is on beast mode and attacking the middle at will. No defensive help for the Celtics at the middle.

Just heard the commentator saying "is this Kyrie Irving's last game at Boston?". Hmmm, looks to me, it is  .

And Milwaukee Bucks won the game. Now with a 3-1 lead.

See how impressive they are. And someone here judged them that they are not ready to face the Celtics just because of Game 1 loss. That's the big 'change' Im talking about. Celtics did great performance too especially the starters but not enough to overpowered the Bucks.

Still have chances for Celtics but defeating Bucks 3 times in a row is quiet hard to imagined now.

Still rooting for this game to reach Game 7.

Chances are slim for Celtics to come back.

Giannis had another monster game with 39 points and grab 16 rebounds. That Game 1 loss really awaken the team and they have responded very well.

Yes, we wanted to see a game 7 series, but most likely the Bucks will finished this one next game.

Rockets leading the Warriors at half-time 61-54.
