The first ever playoff edition of the Three Point Threat Podcast is here with analysis and predictions of every first round matchup including Utah Jazz – OKC Thunder!

The 2018 NBA Playoffs are here and what better way to get prepared for them than by tuning in to the Three-Point Threat Podcast! We’re in for an exciting postseason with several good matchups across the board and Episode 29 is here to take a look at each and every one.

Point 1 will go over Eastern Conference first-round playoff matchups. Although the East isn’t as daunting overall as the West, these four matchups all have the potential to be closely contested and hard-fought bouts and I’m excited for each one of them.

Point 2 will focus on the Western Conference first-round playoff matchups. The West has been a dogfight all year long and is only sure to continue with the postseason upon us.

Last of all, for Point 3, I’ll dive a little deeper into the series between the Utah Jazz and Oklahoma City Thunder – the series I know my listeners are most concerned about. Although OKC presents a tough challenge for Utah, I bring up some points that might make you feel a little better about the matchup.

Then again, there’s certainly some reasons for concern as well. A lot of what I covered is similar to a pro/con piece I published on Thursday that’s accessible via the link in the tweet above. Be sure to give it a read as well!

The podcast is available below as well as on Blog Talk Radio:

The Utah Jazz tip-off against the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 on Sunday at 4:30 PM MT in what should be an exciting first bout of a thrilling series.
