I expect New Orleans to take game 3


Why do you think they will take game 3? There’s such a large talent discrepancy. I’d be surprised if they win one game

You might be right, but game 3 is typically the underdogs best punch.

If Pelicans don't come out hot and win game 3, it will be a 4-0 sweep unfortunately. The issue for them is they have no home court advantage.

I think that you are correct.

Game 3 may be a must win for the Pels.

They aren't supposed to win this without Zion. It's over.

1. Who will miss more shots, CJ or BI?
2. Will it be blowout win or nailbiter win for the OKC?

1. And the winnner iiiis.... CJ!
2. Blowout it is.
If everything is going well, expect an WojBomb

Game 3 is generally must win for any team down 0-2
