    NBA Swing Back Games 3 & 4 Discussion

    With the series swinging back to the weaker seeded teams, how will games 3 & 4 play out? Which series zig-zag?

    Spurs and Toronto are decent road teams. Bucks and Grizzlies are nothing special at home. I don't think the zig lines up witht he zag tonight. I think the best chance for a zag is with Indiana tonight? Which way are you leaning?

    In terms of the zig zag I was referring to it in games 3 and 4. Seems like a lot of the series will split in games 3 and 4 in my opinion.

    As of now, I'd say...

    Celtics will win Game 3.

    Pacers may win both games but at least one.

    Bucks have a great opportunity to seize control but may show their youth.

    Wizards won't let up. They at worst will lead 3-1 and may sweep.

    Warriors sweep.

    Spurs lose Game 3 and win Game 4.

    Rockets will drop a game to OKC but it doesn't matter.

    Clippers will regain homecourt in Game 3 but may lose Game 4.

    If I remember correctly a team that lost one of the first two at home come out strong and takes game 3 away. I root for Milwaukee but this goes against them. I think pacers roll tonight. Buth games in Cleveland were pretty winnable and they must be feeling like they can get back in it.I had no idea what to do with the Spurs line.

    Can't disagree with anything said here. We will see.

    You're right, typically in this spot a team like Milwaukee will press a bit at home and give back control of the series to the better seeded team. My problem with that is I don't believe in Toronto. Ibaka is not that good anymore. He needs to be playing at a high level to make Toronto a legitimate threat.

    I agree Twiz, I never trusted Toronto. Ibaka jacking up 3s is not something I would want to see as a coach at all.

    Why don't opponents just line up on the perimeter vs Cleveland? All they do is jack up 3s. How is this style still working in the playoffs? Meanwhile Paul George despite the fact that he gets his points has really played like a wuss vs Cleveland.

    Spurs will zag

    Raptors won't zag

    Not sure on Pacers. Cavs might just let down and then finish them off at home in game 5.
