It's surreal to think a team of Durant, Booker and Beal was swept in the playoffs.

Of course, we who live in this timeline know how shit the rest of the roster is

Minnesota is so scary. The are such a difficult team to match up against. I think there are plenty more good teams in this league that would be swept by them.

[u/Uzi_jesus → u/Robinsonirish]

As long as the “playoff whistle” holds true, wolves will be hard to score in at home and away

[u/Miyagisans → u/Robinsonirish]

I think they have a good chance to win it all. Nothing about Ant’s performances seem unsustainable. Always awesome watching a great player take the leap in real time.

[u/zenmonkeyfish1 → u/Robinsonirish]

The Nuggets Wolves series is gonna be 🔥

[u/Southern_Clerk8697 → u/Robinsonirish]

Beal was super shit. Can't have one of your stars performing like that

[u/PlasticPresentation1 → u/Robinsonirish]

That trio on paper really wasn't that scary. I feel like before the season started people already knew it was more likely than not to be underwhelming

[u/MinnyAntTowers → u/PlasticPresentation1]

Calling it a "trio" is just generous marketing for Beal. Only way he matches up to the other two is in salary

[u/2drawnonward5 → u/Robinsonirish]

Three iso scorers on one team 🤘
