Hottest team vs most talented team. The wolves seem like they have something really special going on right now. If the series was today probably Minnesota but we'll see if they sustain this level of play for another 1.5 months.

Easily Wolves, Celtics got thin frontcourt Gobert KAT Naz would pummel Porzingis and Horford.

Would depend on Porzingis health. Without him, I favor Minnesota. But I’m not sleeping on Dallas or OKC.

At this exact moment in time? Minnesota is white hot and Porzingis still isn't ready. By the time the Finals roll around, I'd favor the Celtics on paper, though the Wolves just seem to have that it factor.

Wolves have the best defensive forward depth to throw at Tatum.
Celtics have the best defensive guard depth to throw at ANT.
I would personally love to see this series and think the games would be quite close.

Quite a bit premature. You just ensured the Nuggets win series

Finals are a completely different beast. Celtics have 6 of the players in the rotation with finals experience (with one being a champion) while the Wolves have none.
We’re also equipped to handle Ant better than the Nuggets.

Re: Wolves vs Celtics at this very moment in time
Celtics are experienced against physical playoff defenses. And they've done it themselves.
What people seem to forget is that not only will the Wolves' defense face it's toughest task, but their offense will to.
Boston, despite not relying on it, was the #2 defense this year.
They also have a better defensive rating this post season. The Celtic defense will give Minnesota's offense problems. Wolves will have multiple games where they don't reach 100 points.
It's a winnable series, but Boston matches up too well.
People are gobbling up the hype too much. Celtics without question win in 5/6.

Good old fashioned prisoner-of-the-moment syndrome in the thread.

Minnesota, should they defeat Denver, should absolutely believe they can win the title, but OKC and Boston are formidable enough that they could lose to either. Boston is still my favorite because they would only have to play one.

Exactly how Bron won in 2016. He let Warriors and Thunder duke it out and fight a hard series while he was able to relax

If Porzingis is healthy I take Celtics.
