If the league has its way then it'll be Wolves vs Knicks in the Finals.

By far the most intriguing matchup storyline-wise

Antman in the Garden
KAT reunion with Minny
Randle's revenge on NY
Donte's and the Nova Knicks (cue At&t commercial)
Thibs vs Minny
Liberty beat the Linx last year, too
Brunson fulfilling the prince who was promised prophecy
And even Gerson Rosas for the truly tapped in

Would be fireworks...

But we both gotta handle business before that...

Knicks in 5 is my prediction for the Pacers series...

All good storylines but let’s be honest here…nobody cares about the Liberty and the Lynx.

Lmaoooo

Not to get too OT, but I don't think the Wolves have a chance against the Thunder. Denver had a shot cause well, Jokic, but the Wolves? I don't see it.

OK, they beat LA and 50 year old LeBron and Luka who never learned what defense is and they had to overcome the refs trying to give LA the win, and that wasn't bad, but it's not all that. Then they beat GS without Curry, so . . . I'm going to say they can't hold a candle to OKC and they'll lose in 4 or maybe 5.

Not sure... Minny has a few things going for them... I think Ant is as good as SGA in the playoffs... then the two teams both have great defense... JDub has been struggling in the playoffs while Randle has been exceling. It may just come down to Randle vs. JDub in the end and Minny's extra playoff experience may be the added edge that puts them over the top. I don't think this series is done in less than 6-7 games. It's gonna be a wild ride IMO!

What a difference a week (or so) makes. For the Celts series, lots of folks put Celts would win. Now 91-4 and odds are some of the four are anti-jinx votes. I put in with the majority - feels like Knicks in 6.

Big Perk has us winning in 7 games.

I think the opposite.

Minny has everything you need to be successful in the post season.

True 3 level 1st option
Defense (at the wing and at the rim)
3 point shooting (Donte Antman Naz Randle McDaniels etc)
Secondary facilitation (Randle + Conley)
Rebounding
Versatility to play different styles (double big or 5 out)
Ability to score in half court sets/isolation
And quality coaching.

I think Antman snatches SGAs chain this series tbh

You and Sol537 are swaying me. Maybe that will be a good series to watch.

Watch on YouTube

The locked on Knicks & Pacers guys did a combined series preview. Some good stuff in here. Def way better from back when Locked On started. Idk if this guy Gavin Schall is generally good for Knicks stuff but he was good here

I think wolves sending OKC home in 6 man

I'm going with Knicks in 6. That's been the theme so far, so why not?

I know Indy isn't the same team as last year, especially with Mathurin healthy, but they aren't that different. They needed 7 games to beat the corpse of our team last season. No Randle, no Mitch, no OG for half the series.

This year we add KAT, Mitch, Bridges, and a healthy OG. I will be incredibly disappointed if we don't win this series. It won't be easy and won't be short, but we need to win this thing.

If you think MIN can beat OKC & we're gonna beat IND, then we beat MIN - you should place that bet. 11-1 odds for that outcome. I'm going to make a small one today. That's a real possibility and I'm surprised the odds are that good

Predictions?
