Letting the clock run out down 5.
Curry looked like a benchwarmer in a high school game on those two layups. That was just embarrassing.
Curry is 8-32 from 3 in this series. Durant is 10-19.
You know Curry has a dislocated finger on his left hand. (Non shooting)
He has been very Un-Curry like the first 3 games.
What usually happens the next game when a great player has a bad game or 2 in a row??
Durant kicked out to Klay & Klay missed that corner 3 he makes almost every time. Curry missing 2 layups/dunk was laughable. I laughed. Don't quite understand why Durant wasn't handling all scoring & ball handling in OT
Houston was all out to beat the W's last night. The W's didn't play very well outside of Durant. Draymond had a triple double & that's the first time the Warriors lost when Dray has a T.D. W's were missing Free Throws like Milwaukee. Never seen that before.
Had Houston lost after having a 13 PT lead, I think they all would've been...1..2...3...CANCUN!!
Game 4 should be epic. Outside of injury -- I still think Warriors close this out in 5 or 6.

I agree. Curry's finger probably contributed to the missed left handed layup, but not the decision to try to dunk on the right side of the rim by himself at the end of the game.
I agree on Durant. At the beginning of the 4th quarter last night, he just went off and there was almost nothing the Rockets could do about it. Against that small lineup the Rockets run out, they should give it to Durant and let him run the offense every single play.
Raptors come out and win Game 4 to even the series.
Bucks need to come out tomorrow night and put doubt in the Celtics minds and to Kyrie thinking about NYC real estate. Hit him hard at the beginning.
Philly missed a lot of good looks...
UH OH... I think Kevin Durant just blew his Achilles
Either that or a cramp
Kevin Durant (right calf strain) will not return to tonight's game.

Man that sure looked like an Achilles... but at the very least it looked like more than a strain.
Iâve had calf injury playing basketball. Itâs no joke. I was backpedaling and moving laterally and I felt a pop and went down immediately. At first I thought it was an Achilles but thankfully was a calf muscle tear instead.
I couldnât really move around for a couple of days and it was 2 weeks before I could even start jogging. It was a good 4 weeks before I felt ânormalâ enough to continue running. At that time I was in decent shape (better than now) but the doctor said 3-6 weeks is pretty typical of those injuries.
Time for "Willis Reed" to make an appearance?
The way he grabbed at it, I thought it was a cramp.
Let's see what the MRI says later today.
It didnât look good when it happened but honestly if it were really serious he would have needed help walking off the court. Or maybe heâs just tougher than most lol.
If KD canât go for the rest of the playoffs the window is open for a team like Milwaukee to win it all. Heâs the X factor for that team. They can win without him, but I donât think they can win 3-4 games without him.
I hope he can go but if it's a tear then he's done.
God damnit. I want to see Giannis vs. KD! For 7 games...Don't you want to see that?
Splash brothers w/Dray are no slouches & I know if they're on, Houston will lose.
Did you like that 5 Guard lineup by Houston?
I donât like Houston. I canât stand Harden and the way he plays. CPIII is a passive aggressive baby. Never really cared for Dantoni either.
Go Warriors
I think thereâs a growing resentment for teams that are manipulating officials as a primary game plan. I have to admit Iâm sharing it. It has actually been a pleasure watching Houston look around at the refs incredulously after not getting a call theyâve been getting all season.

Seemed to see a bit of that from the Celts last night which I found amusing considering the way they were slapping Giannis around the whole series...
Toronto should win this one given they are at home and the Sixers havenât been great on the road. However, a Philly v Milwaukee ECF would draw a lot more viewers. I like the Bucks chances either way but weâll see game 7 today.

Giannis is in the heads of Embiid and Ben Simmons. The Bucks match up well against Toronto as well, but Kawhi isn't intimidated like those two are.
Right....the most compelling matchup is Kawhi vs. Giannis. The Bucks should dispose of the Sixers in 5.
TBH...the Sixers aren't worthy of the Bucks.
Guess we'll see what Kawhi & the Raptors have in store for the Sixers.
I think Toronto wins.
The NBA is so damn good these days. That Portland Denver series was amazing
Raptors/Sixers going to the 4th. Raptors up 3.
Kawhi is 10-30 from the floor - on pace for 40 shots.
Embiid 4-14. Butler 2-9.
Shots get a lot more tight in a Game 7.
Both teams have played only 7 guys (Sixers 8th guy, Greg Monroe, has played two minutes).
Sixers have basically had three shot clock violations in a row. It looks like they haven't played together enough and it's caught up to them.
Embiid is going to play 45 minutes and the Sixers are +8 when he's on the court.
They are -11 in the 3 minutes he's been off the court.
Sixers got bailed out on the Embiid FTs with 11 seconds left.
What a finish.....,,
That ball bounced more times on the rim than any game-winning shot I've ever seen.
I was hoping for a triple overtime game, but that finish was awesome.
Great game.
