The NBA is PRAYING TO GOD that Anthony Edwards wins the championship this year. A American, who has a personality (unlike Tatum) without the ridiculousness (unlike Ja and Zion) who's easily marketable, and would have won with one of the leagues small market teams, thats a dream come true for them.

And they will. They played all 5 games the exact same except game 4. And people are delusional enough to believe they're holding back.

The absolutely juiciest match up of the entire off post season. One of the best offenses vs best defense. MVP vs emerging superstar. Best starting 5 vs the deepest bench. Man I'm excited for this one. Imma go out on a limb and say that the bench will be the difference... Denver got no bench and Minny is hella deep.... I wouldn't be surprised if it comes down to that. Either way it has the potential to be one for the books.

Rudy Gobert is part of the best defense in the league. I'm sorry Sharpe but there's no way Jokic cooks Gobert. KAT is certainly also showing up. I think that they should watch some more highlights.
This is gonna be the equivalent to 86’ bulls vs Celtics . Young MJ(Ant) vs Larry Bird(Joker)

The playoffs already started dodo. Either you been excited about it weeks ago, or you're not.

Minnesota matches up very well against Denver, they have a ton of size to throw at Jokic and really good point of attack defenders with length to slow down Murray. If Ant can keep it rolling I like the Wolves.

@sportstalkonly1442 doesn't exist? So you're telling me Jokic is now a turnover machine, Murray is inefficient, Gordon is passive, and KCP can't shoot? You're telling me that's just who they are now? But for some dumb reason you think this Wolves team are world beaters because of 4 games? Talk about being extremely biased. Stop watching sports if you're this delusional

@WindowLicker_-9 yea I'm telling u that's who they are. They played that way for 5 straight games and everyone keeps saying the same thing. I don't pick the Timberwolves because of what they did to the suns. I pick them because they have the size to bother jokic and the defense to actually bother the nuggets. The nuggets really won vs the Lakers because of the rebounding battle and the lakers not being able to sustain their leads. Timberwolves have better defense, rebounding, and is a younger and fresher team than the lakers and nuggets. There's nothing to suggest the nuggets were holding back or have another gear to go into. Plus u picked the Timberwolves so I'm confused what the issue is.
I dont have a dog in this fight after the Lakers got put out but I am going with the TWolves. They only beat the weak Lakers by an avg margin of victory of only 3.5 pts I don't see this being as easy as people think

This a pick em series in my opinion, the only this series shocks me is if denver or minnesota sweep or gentlemen sweep each other. I have nuggets in a 6 game classic, but I saw my suns get dominated by the twolves and they are no slouch, and last year minnesota lost to denver, but that series was closer than people think.
