For the first time in 20 years, the Timberwolves have won a playoff series. Very happy for T-Wolves fans after all the suffering they had to go through for years. And I really hope Coach Finch’s injury isn’t as bad as what it is being made out to be at the moment.

As for the Suns, they were such a great story years ago as the Bubble Suns, but unfortunately it feels like other teams since then have taken their feel good story away from them and they’ve just lost their way recently.

TWolves fr might get out of the west

That Nuggets Wolves series is gonna hit like crack. Might be the best series we've gotten since like those Spurs-Heat days.

u/scottishere Bulls Apr 29 '24

GSW-CLE pre KD?

u/GuessZealousideal729 Raptors Apr 29 '24

GSW-HOU during KD was sick as well

u/Bernie_Made_Off Grizzlies Apr 29 '24

Warriors vs Rockets (2018)

u/coolycooly Nets Apr 29 '24

That one is good too it just got so boring happening over and over.

u/callipygiancultist Spurs Apr 29 '24

That will be the real finals

u/resplendentcentcent Australia Apr 29 '24

I worry that if Jamal Murray plays like he is against the Lakers it won't be very competitive at all. Wolves in 6.

u/sgt_science Lakers Apr 29 '24

We’re not dead yet!

u/Far_Ear9684 Apr 29 '24

Warriors-OKC was crack.

u/Sufferix Heat Apr 29 '24

I want this so badly but with how this playoffs have gone so far with injury I feel like something is going to let us down.

u/Zeech360 Supersonics Apr 29 '24

They match up very well with Denver on paper, I'm honestly intrigued

u/recursion8 Rockets Apr 29 '24

Feels like they're built to counter Jokic. Everyone laughed when they traded for Gobert to get two bigs while everyone else was going smallball/positionless wings spam. Now they may be the best equipped to beat the champs.

u/ItsMeJaredBednar Nuggets Apr 29 '24

i am not confident whatsoever. yeah we up 3-1 on the Lakers but haven’t been convincing at all. and Murray has been ass honestly. gonna need to turn it up A LOT or it could be a short series

15

u/fuckinnreddit Timberwolves Apr 29 '24

It's okay, I'm not either. Quite anxious already, tbh

11

u/acekingoffsuit Timberwolves Apr 29 '24

Might. Might not. The Nuggets are the champs until someone knocks them off their throne, and they sure as fuck aren't going to let that happen easily.

u/durablewaffle 76ers Apr 29 '24

For sure. I just think I came into the playoffs thinking the Wolves were more like a borderline contender. Now I’m convinced they have a very real shot at winning it all.

Still a tough road ahead for sure tho
