Wolves in 7 I have a feeling the stripe guys are going to be big in this series it’s gonna be a great one though PJ Washington and Naz is the sleeping X factors for both sides

T'Wolves in 6. Their interior size and defense will be too much.

Luka and Kyrie will steal one game on their own, and the Mavs will get one solely on having a better night.

That's about it.

I got Mavs in 7

When people say Gobert might be played off the floor, this might be the series for that. Wolves' aggressive trap defense against the Nuggets will work the opposite effect on the Mavs, it would make them out of position for the Mavs' open 3s and lob dunks. Mavs have a 10x more dynamic offense than the Nuggets. Plus Mavs matchup hunt 10x better than the Nuggets as well

Plus I feel Lou Dort is a better/smarter defender on Luka than Jaden McDaniels is
Wolves' are known for dumb fouls. And if they thought Nuggets were foul baiters, they will not be prepared for the Mavs :dead:

I think the Wolves should be the favorites going forward after overcoming Denver. Once they lost those three straight I thought they were dead in the water. Even last night I thought it was over in the first half. I am now rooting for them the rest of the playoffs and think they got enough to win a title.

Wolves in 5
Mavs beat a Kawhi-less Clips and a tiny, tiny OKC team that couldn't rebound
No more free rebounds cause Wolves have actual bigs
They win game 3 at home but that's it

The Timberwolves are going to win the NBA Championship. I said going into the Nuggets/Wolves series that barring injuries that was the de facto Finals since it was the 2 best teams in the NBA
