Why would it take them double OT to try and win game three? Embarrassed

This means they are not dominant enough even at home to put this team away and even if they win the next one they will struggle went they have to go back to the FiServ center and beat them there.
I cant see the raptors going to the finals.
Kawhi is all hype and missed both shots having to send the game it into both those overtimes. The first one I was saying "Why take the three just pass it to siakim underneath and put the game away!" They were up by two with 7 seconds left.
They dont know how to finish games and this is critical especially in the playoffs.

Good point. Obviously, they put everything on the line here and live another day. Leonard in game 2 really looks very tired and again he pushes his body to the limit. It might be just mental lapses on him, but at least they won this game.

Siakam was a big surprised to me this game. He was very aggressive, maybe he saw what the media is saying that he suddenly disappear in this series. Still a good win though and let's see if they can tie the series next game.

Kawhi is not hyped, this guy is even underrated, it was majority of his effort that give them a win this game.
Bucks is hard to beat, but they beat the bucks tonight, and that is important and no matter how it is done, a win is a win.
Series now is 2-1, but you are correct, Raptors won't be going in the finals with the way they are playing, Leonard can't carry this team all night.

That's what Warriors makes them so good. Everyone is stepping up and can score. So you can't just focus on Curry or KD. You need to guard them all, especially they have a lot of 3point shooter. Unlike in other team, if you put on hold their superstar, you got a high chance of defeating them already.

It's the same play the Bucks are employing now, they are not just relying on Giannis, their other starters and even bench are helping the team to win, and because of the effective system, they are ahead in the series now. Would be nice to see these two will face in the Finals.

The series between the Bucks and Raptors isn't over yet though the Bucks ahead but they still can be beaten. Whichever of the two that will face the Warriors will be beaten badly for now. Championship experience is not yet there for the eastern teams while the Warriors system is on a peak with Curry stepping up to prove doubters that even without KD, they can still dismantle opponents at will.

They are giving us an entertaining game to play, for those who are currently, watching right now, you'll enjoy the game.
Double OT just happened.

As expected Kawhi Leonard and Kyle Lowry's dominance is still not enough to defeat the current state of The Bucks, 2 man game can't just defeat a very great teamwork system being practiced by the Bucks,

On the other hand even if how the Blazers put up such efforts when it comes to teamwork, GS Warriors is just so powerful at the moment Keeping an eye to Durrant or Curry is not just enough

Focusing with just one or two wont really be not enough specially on GS. All of players do have corresponding role and do really move out.If they boxed out Curry then Green would
just basically find out whose the one would able to shoot out.All eyes do focus out on Curry or KD but i do love on how Green executed good passes and defense.This is one of the
best factor why GS is much better.Teamwork with good execution of their own roles with good rotations.

This is true because you can see it out on some other nba teams that boxing out their superstar will directly isolate their entire gameplay.Theres no perfect team
but Warriors do shows up the image of a possible example when it comes to basketball teamwork which syncing out well with other team members.

It is somehow already clear on which teams would face up on the finals but we cant still conclude yet since the series isnt over where those losing teams do still have that chance for some comeback on the remaining games.

And what makes this loss very hard to swallow for the Blazers is that they lose game 3 in the same fashion as game 2. And in their home turf. Ouch!!!.

So we all know that Golden State will 99% advance to the finals as history is not on the side of Portland because there's no team has comeback from 0-3.

A comeback is definitely out of cards as far as this series is concerned, It's going to be a sweep, Literally or does anyone still look forward to some sort of resistance from the Blazers in game 4 for ? The warriors are now heavy favorites to win even game 4 on the road. I don't see past a game 4 here, except there is a complete change of attitude from the Blazers, then maybe we could have a game 5.

They could delay it, but the inevitable will happen. But down 0-3, I don't know, it could be the last straw so I doubt that they will offer resistance in game 4. I'm sure GSW wanted to earn in early, just to have a couple of rest before the finals with Bucks. But then again, Bucks will also be shooting for a sweep. So let's see if we are going to witness game 5 or it will be the season ending for Portland.

Damn GSW is using all their cards.
We can see different plays everyday.

Anyone noticed what or whom they used now?
Draymond Green. After a stop and he got the rebound, he will advance and go to the paint to make a lay up and it works.
Why? Portland thinks he cant score or just wont score. But look how intelligent their coach is. I didnt even noticed that at the first 2 games.
This is real basketball. They are using everything so that they could win. Even bench players are participating.

Right, I don't know if this is want GSW wanted to do this game, but I also noticed that once Draymond got the rebound, he will really push the ball in the middle as if he is the point guard. And if the defense will collapsed on him, he will just pass the ball to the trailer or someone who is waiting under the basket. Very clever move by Kerr if this is design.

Yes they want that to happen. It might be written in Steve Kerr's cards.

They are too much focused on Curry and Klay with their defense they forgot GSW is a team.

Same thing which is happening in the East. Toronto is too much focused on defending Gianis forgetting the role players of the Bucks. Ilyasova made it rain and so is Bledsoe.
They might have shut Gianis and Middleton but the role players can step up anytime. They just need that will to win.
That is what Green is also doing on the part of GSW. He got that energy which is higher than any player in the floor.

Not a chance to win 4 in a row against gs. Especially with 2 games in Oakland. If milw wins game 3 this might be the most boring conference finals in a long time. Hope Toronto makes it a series at least.

To think that Lebron managed to stop a 5 rings in a row for warriors is delicious, you can hate Lebron or you can love Lebron but if you hate warriors as much as I do knowing that warriors were on the road for 5 championship in a row if it wasn't for Lebron feels amazing. They are about to three peat this season for sure unless everyone gets injured all at the same time and that is not gonna happen.

Blazers just showed the difference between the top of west and the rest, rockets who supposed to be amazing could only hang around for 6 games, blazers are about to get sweeped right now. I can even see warriors sweeping anyone on the finals as well, its quite possible, Durant rested well enough he can come back now play the last game and literally destroy everyone on the finals.

I am not certain how good is Nick Nurse, however from reading about him, it appears that The Raptors is coached by a newbie in this level hehehe.

I reckon another 2 years of experience might bring him to a championship challenge.

That newbie bring the Warriors to the ECF, that does not looks newbie to me.
Game is not yet over, Bucks are really expected to win here since they are the heavy favorites.
Look at the coach of Rockets, Mike D'Antoni is no newbie but his team cannot beat the Warriors even without Durant on their last game.

No need to argue coach is newbie the important is he know how to lead the team to get the victory, GSW is the very stronger team with the power combination of two veterans player durant and stephen curry, but the ball is round their have possibilities to take the chance to get the victory of raptors.

Impressive road win by the Golden State Warriors. Green really push the game up high and I will say that the is the catalyst on this win. That 12 assists alone really help the team with easy baskets. Of course Curry's shooting hand is back and the rest of the team is already playing post Kevin Durant. Grin

. So another final appearance for them vs the Greak Freak, and that is Final that we all have been wanting for.

Told ya. Third quarter is Warriors' quarter. I expected that they will come back in the second half so those who bet on Warriors before half time are happy right now because they make their money x4-x5 Cheesy

.

With Durant, its more of an isolation game rather than passing and rotating. Without Durant, its more of a passing and rotating and not that much isolation. For me, its better if there is no Durant in their team because the Splash Brothers can do it without him with the help of the bench of course. Now their chances of 5th straight NBA Finals is higher now and take note, NO TEAM has won with a 0-3 score in the playoffs. NO TEAM!!!!

That's the warrior's magic. Though they are down in the first two quarters but still they are able to manage to bring the defecit down and even win the game. Now that the series has come to a 3-0 in favor of the warriors, I guess we can see another warriors championship for this season.
