Episode 30 of the Three-Point Threat Podcast touches on everything having to do with the Utah Jazz playoff run thus far!

I know you’re busy watching the NBA Playoffs in full swing, so I made sure to keep Episode 30 of the Three-Point Podcast rather brief. Even so, this latest episode touches on what the Utah Jazz have done thus far in their first-round series against the Oklahoma City Thunder as well as what we can expect for them in Wednesday’s Game 5 and beyond!

For Point 1, I give my reactions on the series thus far. Obviously, being up 3-1 is a great spot to be in, but the Jazz will need to keep doing what has worked well for them in their trio of consecutive wins if they are to close out the series, perhaps even in five games.

For Point 2, I look directly at that pivotal Game 5 which will be on Wednesday at 7:30 PM MT. Will the Utah Jazz close it out? Or will the Thunder be allowed to regain momentum and live another day? You’ll have to listen to find out what I think.

Last of all, for Point 3, I do something that I hate to do – I look ahead at a potential second-round matchup between the Utah Jazz and Houston Rockets. Of course I want Utah to advance to the second round, but talking about it as if it’s a done deal before it’s happened makes me nervous. Let’s hope my superstition and jinxing abilities don’t cause any damage and instead Utah simply advances.
