Who is most likely to lose game 4?

Well LeBron and AD are significantly better than Booker and Durant.

Also the league likes the Lakers and doesn't give a **** about the Suns.

Nuggets

Ok I just read. The Lakers are down 0 - 3 on the brink of getting swept and you DON’T practice today? WTF. Whereas the defending champs ahead 3 - 0 and probably knows all of their actions still practice. How do you not have a practice?

Because his star players are old.

Let their bodies rest, focus on making adjustments.

It is not adjustments. They played 10 games in the last year. What adjustments are left? There are none left. It is about execution. You know the one thing that is lacking in the series between the two. Again how do you not practice. It is do or die.

Both will. It’s over.

At the end of the day though, it’s just basketball.

Obligatory

If one of them's going to win, I'm guessing Lakers just because Denver knows they can put them away and might check out. Minnesota is new to abject domination and seems to enjoy playing with their food.

They're both over. It's a matter of pride. Maybe a series gets dragged out to 5, 6 games, but they're both done.

What is one thing we learnt about the Nuggets dating back to last year’s Championship run? They have the killer mentality to put teams away in elimination games. They will end it tomorrow.

Suns are more likely to be swept. The NBA gave them every call in that first quarter and it wasn't enough. It might be close for three quarters, but Wolves will pull away.

Lakers still have enough juice to make it a game. The first quarter will basically tell you how that game is gonna go. If Nuggs get off to a hot start, the fans will be booing and heading for the exits and that will be that.

They're both cooked. Lakers are just mentally broken after losing 11 straight times to this team and will fold the moment Denver goes on a run while the Suns will at least try to win the game but as we saw today, they can't stop anyone on the Wolves and are not scoring anywhere near enough to offset that.

Both.

I’d rather talk about the highly anticipated 2nd round match ups which should be a blood bath.

Nuggets vs Timberwolves both being undefeated right before they collide would be box office.

Thunder vs Mavs would be fantastic as well.

I'd lean both but lakers probably show up and just get beat AGAIN. Suns feel the type of team that may just quit.

Id say both. But will say I think PHX has the better chance of winning the next game.

PHX at least has a lot of jump shooters who can maybe get hot and just win them a game.

I just dont see how LA beats Denver, unless Denver completely mails it in.

The Suns annual elimination game 50 point blowout at home or...

I think this.

Could be Denver 4-0

Minn 4-1

Suns. They look dead on arrival.

Suns are more likely to give up, so I'll go with them. Lakers brought it last year in game 4.

Lakers are completely done. They just cant beat Denver and LeBron has already realized this and has given up on them.

Suns probably done too but could squeeze a win. Wolves are not on the same calibeer as Denver.
