The Wolves aren't a deep team but their starting-5 definitely gets the job done. Sweeping Durant and Booker is a feat.

I think whomever wins the chip this season will be from the Western Conference.

Who’s deeper? I think Minnesota might be the deepest team in the playoffs.

MIN vs DEN will be for the title.

Rudy Gobert with the highest on/off of the playoffs despite being played off the floor

Denver could be without Murray. He’s listed as “questionable” right now and they have yet to close out the Lakers. That injury could be yewge. Calf injuries can be brutal.

I didn't see that report and that sucks. There are some injuries you can push and that is NOT one you mess with. Even without Murray I think they can close out LA but will need Murray close to full strength to beat Minny. This place will melt if Minny makes the finals... conference finals with OKC or Dallas? and Minny would be wild.

I think Boston could beat either team. Finals should be competitive this year.

Cleveland deciding to duck Philly to fight a frisky Orlando team then get murdered by Boston instead of maybe matching up against an unproven Indiana team looks pretty bad. Knicks gonna be able to make the conference finals? Been a pretty wild playoff.

Remember in the bubble when we tanked to get Denver? And when we were within like 15 minutes of closing them out 4-1? Good times.

Lots of small what ifs and yes history repeating? Pray for one good shooting half for Orlando in the next game. It could end the Donny Cavs.

I could actually see it being rock, paper, scissors. I'd have BOS > DEN, DEN > MIN, MIN > BOS. All matchups would be very close imo, but that's who I'd slightly favor in each.

I think it's anyone's final this year. I dont see it being decided at all based off a 2nd round outcome.

People not giving OKC much of a chance. I don't think they should be favorites, but I could easily see them win it all.

I kind of hope not though.

Yeah the parity is crazy this year. I think Minny and Denver have the "best player in the series" advantage over Boston but I think all too often the Finals is really dependent on who is the most healthy... Boston I think is the least susceptible to injury. A calf strain may be the determining factor.
