Jamal Crawford and Isiah Thomas have hilarious disagreement as they make predictions for Game 4 of NBA Finals

The NBA TV crew of Chris Miles, Jamal Crawford, Isiah Thomas and Kenny Smith discussed the Denver Nuggets' 109-94 win in Game 3 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday. Crawford and Thomas had a hilarious banter about their picks for Game 4.

In the postgame coverage of NBA TV, the quartet was very impressed with the Nuggets for their convincing over the Miami Heat in Game 3. Crawford had picked the Nuggets to win Game 3, while Thomas thought Miami would win

Crawford then made his prediction for Friday's Game 4, choosing the Heat to win, as they have their backs against the wall. Thomas, though, hilariously picked the Nuggets to take a commanding 3-1 series lead due to how unstoppable Nikola Jokic is.

Here's how the hilarious exchange went down:

"I think Miami wins Game 4," Crawford said. "They always perform better when they're the underdog. That's their rallying cry; they're comfortable in that space. They're not really comfortable out front."

Thomas responded:

"I'm going with Denver in Game 4. After what I've seen tonight, what are you gonna do with the Joker? If Murray gets going; they started double-teaming Murray. Even in the double team, he's just finding and dishing. Now Denver's comfortable, and that Joker's something else."

The Denver Nuggets regained homecourt advantage with their win over the Miami Heat in Game 3. Nikola Jokic made history as the first player to have a 30-20-10 triple-double in the NBA Finals. Jokic and Murray also became the first teammates to record a triple-double in the Finals.

Jokic had 32 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists, shooting 12-for-21 from the field to lead the Nuggets to victory. Murray, meanwhile, finished with a game-high 34 points to go along with 10 rebounds and 10 assists. He's also the first player to start his NBA Finals career with three straight games with at least 10 assists.

The Miami Heat have the chance to tie the NBA Finals in Game 4 on Friday. The Heat have lost three straight postseason games at home following their 109-94 defeat in Game 3. They had lost Game 4 and Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics.

Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets will look take a commanding 3-1 series lead on Friday. The Nuggets will prefer ending the series on home court and are just two wins away from winning their first NBA championship.

However, the Heat are tough to count out despite having their backs against the wall. They thrive being the underdogs, and manager Erik Spoelstra is expected to make adjustments heading into Game 4.
