Two NBA teams are currently down 3-1 in their second round series. Reggie Miller thinks one of them is dire straits.
The Golden State Warriors lost 104-101 on Monday night to fall to one game away from elimination against the Los Angeles Lakers.
While Golden State is returning home for Game 5 and hasn’t been knocked out yet, Miller is close to pulling the plug on their chances of winning the series.
“I’m not here to say that this series is over for Golden State. I will give the champs some what of a leash, but I will say that they are on life support right now and it’s getting close to the end,” Miller told Dan Patrick on Tuesday.

One of the things Miller said the Warriors must do if they want to stay alive is find a third scorer to complement Steph Curry and Klay Thompson.
“[Andrew] Wiggins has tried to do it, but we expected Jordan Poole to be that guy and he just hasn’t been,” Miller said.
Game 5 between the Lakers and Warriors is set for 10 p.m. ET tomorrow night in San Francisco.
