Magic, Lakers, Pelicans and Heat could easily be swept.

No way on earth will Minny sweep but I guess some fans always falls for first game overreaction like noobs. First game means little in a 7 game series based on facts but can create a sense of overconfident. There is a better chance the Suns will win the next 4 games than Minny sweeping in a nightmarish match-up cause their strength is drop coverage to protect the rim while the Suns has rain on them with open 3s. It's the worst possible match-up for Minny, trust me on this. The 3 headed monster will win series!

Minny has a more balanced roster. Book and Beal are so redundant, and the Suns are considerably weaker 3-10.

Boston are going to be doing some sweeping this year unless they have injuries.

If Antman didn't have a big game against them for once, the Suns win. If you don't understand match up, just say so Lol

Beal has owned the Antman and the Wolves all season long when healthy and that narrative is more likely in the playoffs than Antman repeating what he did tonight.

It’s more likely the series goes to 6 or 7 than a sweep by minny or a backdoor sweep by suns.

I looking at atleast 2 to 3 sweeps here. The Heat just look totally outmatched without Jimmy Butler on the court. Can't go into a series with Bam Adebayo as your best player and expect to do much in the playoffs,especially considering how well rounded the Celtics actually are. I also think it's highly likely the Nuggets will sweep the Lakers. Outside of Lebron James, they simply no one they can depend on consistently and the coaching is quite flawed as well. The Magic/Cavaliers is more of a toss up if that series will be a sweep, but the way the Magic are looking with the lack of playmaking at the Guard position and currently not having someone who can take a over a game on their own, I think the Cavaliers will take care of business in 5 to maybe 6 games, but I wouldn't be shocked if that series is a sweep as well.

Minnesota is more likely to sweep the Suns than they are to lose the series.

Something about being a noob, first game overreactions and Beal owning Ant Man?? It's like people don't watch the league, balanced team basketball always beats flashy individual names in the playoffs

I liked the wolves over the suns and still don't get why suns were favored to win the series but I did not expect this level of domination.

Denver over lakers also expected but I thought LAL would get at least a GAME.

Just seeing this. What a horrible take. You obviously haven't watched Ant and the wolves this year if you think Beal is better.

It's more like Ant > over anybody on the Suns
