Will Utah Jazz win in the game 4? Thoughts?

That's a big question, game 3 was suppose to be the best time to win because when a team is 0-3, the chances of winning the series is very low.
If the Jazz will win game 4, Rockets will make sure they will end the series in 5 and will celebrate at home.

The only hard series that the Spurs are facing is the round one, but it seems they can take care of the Nuggets.
If they will pass through the 2nd round, they will be facing either the Blazers or the OKC, I believe they have a good chance, though I think they will be again underdog.

Updates, series tied with each team have 2 wins after Spurs loss on Game 4. The Spurs 3 point shots are nowhere to be found, Belinelli and Bertans were not a treat on Game 4. Derrick White, wasn't aggressive compared to previous 3 games.
Looks like the Nuggets wanted the game 4 more. Home court advantage now back to Denver.

The series is not interesting as it could go game 7, it's likely and we like watching game 7.
This could be the only series that would go game 7, I was thinking Jazz had a chance against the Rockets and they could go game 7, but they are 3-0 now.

Even James Harden struggles in the first half and with a 3-20 FG, the Houston Rockets still managed to win this game despite of that James Harden performance. I didn't spec that this series will go to 3-0 leads by Rockets.

OKC was able to withstand Portland's comeback in the third and prove that they are not going to be sweep by Lillard and CJ as they win game 3, 120-108. Lillard exploded for 25 points in the 3rd quarter alone, and CJ McCollum made a 3 to tie the score 89-89, but that is the closest that they can get as they forced turnover after turnover. Like others have been expecting this is an interesting match, specially Westbrook vs Lillard.

The competition between this two stars is getting tougher and tougher, OKC seems don't want to give up that easily, if they will force tieng up this series
it's gonna be an interesting game to follow, Westbrook needs to be more aggressive now and do his masterpiece, showdown between him and Lilard is really expected by their own respective fans.

Looking to see if the series will extend, Do or Die or Blazers will avoid it to happen, let see how they can handle it.

Expect the series to reach game 7, if westbrook continues to shoot better, OKC can win the series though they don't have the home court advantage.
I believe that the OKC are favored in this series so I'll go with them, but we cannot underestimate the Blazers also.

3-0 for the celtics and pacers series, I'm afraid they will sweep the pacers in this series.
This time bench are stepping up, they don't rely too much on Irving only and if they will play like this they will be a tough team to beat.

Irving had 10 assist, did not seen this for awhile.

I don't think they will sweep the Pacers but one thing is for sure, the Celtics will move on to the next round because there are no teams that win the series after a 3-0 deficit.

If Oladipo is on their line up then it will be a different story but right now, the Celtics are crushing the Pacers. Irving is playing well in this series and with the help of other members, they are on the track right now.

Same with my thoughts. Pacers will bounce back in game 4 but the chance for the Pacers to win the series is very slim. Oladipo is an important piece for the Pacers and his presence on the floor is a big factor to boost his teammates confidence during the game, but they're way too behind with the standings now.

Oladipo of course would make a difference, saying otherwise would be disingenuous to say the least. I think the real question is will it be enough? I mean if they had Oladipo they would be better than they are right now but I doubt they would be better than Celtics. Celtics is playing with a lot of defensive strengths on their side and brad Stevens is one of the best defensive coaches in the league, that means even if they can't score much they will certainly hold you down to a low score as well.

Oladipo is not some Kevin Durant type player who can take over a whole game so he probably wouldn't find any solutions neither. They are all around not as good as Celtics no matter what, not because Celtics is amazing but they are just simply better than Pacers with this roster.

Good speculation but I dont agree with some points.

When Oladipo is around here is what could happen.
Turner could focus on defense.
The floor with be wider with Oladipo running the offense while role players are on the other side of the court waiting for a 3 point opportunity.
The aura of Pacers is different when Oladipo is around.
That is a star, they look up into him and they know they can lean on him in times of need.

He is a big loss for the Pacers but they need a better startegy by now. That kind of loss happens and Celtics also have the same event when 2 of their stars are out but yet tend to go to the semis.

I too have loss my will to watch Pacers because of a non Oladipo game. It could have been a good 1st round game.

If they only have oladipo, they could match the Celtics well.

Remember the last season when Oladipo was playing, they had more wins, and if I'm not mistaken, they reach the 2nd round against the Cavaliers and gave them a good series, this time a complete opposite.

Even if they have Oladipo on the Pacers, this is not the same Celtics that fought on the playoffs last year. Irving and Hayward are already healthy and people expect these two guys to lead the Celtics to the Eastern Finals though Hayward have not yet exploded scoring wise.

Irving's absence last year gave opportunity to the young core and for the Celts to prove themselves, and their rotation was top notch, except they're still young compared to the experienced Cavs. It could be a different outcome if Irving and Hayward were playing last year. Its not gonna be the same ball rotation as it was when they played last year, since Irving is in full control offensively not allowing everyone to touch the ball.
On the other hand, I still have a feeling that Pacers will win in game 4.

Yes, but I think the series will be much competitive and closer as what we have seen this year.

V. Oladipo could be a good factor maybe it will be 2-1 or something and it's going to be very difficult to predict the winner. But as you can see, Celtics is already up and could close the show the next game.

Yeah, it looks like Pacers a had given up already. So there's a possibility of a 4-0 Boston win here. Irving is not passing that much as he is talking bulk of the scoring lately. But it was a change seeing him with this numbers. As for the Pacers, it will be a big uphill and as this point, I don't think they have enough gas in the tank.

Teams that are in the playoffs can't be taken lightly but as far as the series between the Nuggets and Spurs is concern i think the Spurs has a good chance of winning that and if they play the Blazers which also has a good chance of winning their series against OKC, we can base on speculation on history on their head to head at the elimination which is even. Blazer vs Spurs in the second round would be a good series but it's not over yet on the first round.

Nuggets is on different level this year, so if ever the Spurs win this series, Nuggets will surely give them a hard time. In fact, my intuition is telling me that this series will lead to game 7. Tough match up btw.

Spurs have system that makes Pop a good executer, the squad needs to follow his leads and surely he won't disappoint them, I can agree to you with how Nuggets went to this far, they are already a different team with the goal to step forward, the quest still open for them as long as they are playing that hard, game to reach the do or die series will be more interesting to watch unlike those remaining matches where even they are still on, you can predict with honesty who will have the edge against one another.

Pop is one tough coach, we rarely find another coach like him in the future, and as much I really wanted them to win , and I know the Spurs have a huge chance to win this series, yet I also wanted the Nuggets to compete for the WCF. So, I guess both teams are really deserving to win. TBH, this is the only match up that gives my attention and interest. I'm even confused in which team should I place my bet lol.

Anyone here intested betting on the Spurs to win the championship? They have a decent odds for the backers, I'm thinking of putting a small amount.
Need you to go with me here, we only loss small but we can win big, actually the line currently is x36 I guess (haven't reviewed it again).
