Wolves are great but they might be too tired by the time they face a Celtics team who now have Jrue to defend against Ant.

I’ve learned that there are a couple important things that win championships in the NBA. First off the talent and chemistry, if you don’t have a talented team that plays well together you’re not going to win a title. Next is a good head coach, I feel that this only matters in the NBA if the team talent is close. The last key thing is finals/postseason players experience. This is the one I realize most recently. A team that knows how to play well in the postseason can win most series against a younger more talented team. For the Timberwolves I’m scared about their experience

I don’t understand, they have the best defense in the playoffs, haven’t lost a game yet and looks like they could possibly SWEEP the defending champions and that doesn’t make them the title favorites??

Mad Dog makes no sense. “Lack of championship experience” and they’re literally up 2-0 against the defending champs 🙄

It’s nice to see Wolves looking like this after going through KKKhan and his all white starters.

Celtics is much better this year. They have Jrue a veteran/champion and KP plus DWhite emergence.
And before they face the Celtics in the East, Wolves still need to beat a Thunder led by SGA/JDub/Chet + Dort’s defense or Luka/Kyrie Mavs
Eventhough Wolves have the advantage against Denver, Denver still has the best player in the world, they will not go down without a fight.
Too early to be the Favorites

Celtics have the easiest road to the finals.. wolves have to beat the defending champions

They can absolutely win it all. The only concern theyd have is Boston absolutely going nuts from 3. Boston cant be run off the line cause everyone on that team is gonna pull up. Otherwise Boston isnt getting jack and squat in the paint with defense like that. But if Boston hits 3s theyre going to have Minnesota seeing ghosts with that offense.

Everyone but Stephen A had the argument “they won’t win because their name is the Minnesota Timberwolves.” I GUARANTEE if the Lakers or even Miami or any other coastal team was doing what the Timberwolves are doing right now, they all would be speaking like Stephen A. I appreciate Stephen A. for looking beyond the team’s location.
