The 2013 NBA Playoffs continue to roll as the Thursday evening is delighted with three more games as teams begin to play their third games of the first round. Check out TV schedules with channels, game times and matchups as some teams will be one win away from punching their ticket to the second round of the NBA Playoffs.
First up, the defending NBA Champs have been cruising through their first games despite the oppositions persistant battle in the first half of their games.
TNT- It's the Miami Heat vs. Milwaukee Bucks at 7 p.m. ET for Game 3 of their series.The Heat will fly to Milwaukee where they will try to take a 3-0 lead in this series. So far in the series, though Lebron James and Dwyane Wade continue playing great basketball, the Heat have received a great boost from the bench as the likes of Ray Allen, Chris Andersen and Norris Cole. Shane Battier is consistently doing it from both ends of the floor.
The Bucks are still on pace to match Brandon Jennings's prediction of beating the Heat in six games. All they have to do is win the next four consecutive games and they advance to the second round. However, the Heat never loss four straight games in 2013.
NBA TV- Almost two hours after the Heat and Bucks slug it out, watch the Brooklyn Nets vs. Chicago Bulls at 8:30 p.m. ET. This series is tied 1-1 after the Bulls showed will and fight instead of laying down for another trampling. Deron Williams had a horrible game, but he told the press to relax because it was just one game. Who knows what will happen to Joakim Noah? He has been playing despite having a bad foot. It will either get better with time or get worse as he continues to play on it.
TNT- Watch the Los Angeles Clippers vs. Memphis Grizzlies at 9:30 p.m. ET. The Clippers have defeated the Grizzlies twice so far in their series, though the first one was well played from both ends for about 30 minutes before the Clippers took over, Game 2 went down to the wire as L.A. needed a bucket at the final second to defeat the Grizzlies 93-91.
The Grizzlies squandered numerous opportunities to take bigger leads and the Clippers made them pay. Now in an 0-2 hole, if the Grizzlies win Game 3, they can change their fortunes around in the series.
