Towns and Reid may be bigger than PJ, but i dont think either actually plays bigger than him. He's 6'9, long and physical.

But between Mcdaniels/Edwards, they still decidedly have the size advantage and should dominate the paint

the league is different now. so many good teams with no juggernauts. parity all time high. talent distribution all time high. any team can win any series vs. any opponent.

Who’s your daddy? I guess it’s the Wolves now

Does that make the Wolves the Lakers grandfathers?
I get so lost in all of this. Who gets custody of Booker?

That was my other option. When in doubt, I add a game, because you know the NBA always wants as long a series as possible. But you might be right.

That 2nd apron is about to even the playing field even further. Give it a few years and we will see teams being unable to offer max contracts to their 3rd star anymore.

Mavs vs. Wolves good luck to you Wolves fans.

Although I will say don't overreact if you win Game 1, Kidd is 0-5 in Game 1s and Mavs ended up winning 4 out of 5 of those. Kidd and Luka don't get out of bed until Game 2.

Congrats to Minny though, a fantastic team series from them.

Mavs v Minny is gonna be hype!

I think I have the Wolves advancing to the Finals but feels like Luka is due for his first appearance. This is where having a player like Irving is so important.

Wolves won 3-1 in the regular season against the Mavs with Game 4 being a blowout.

That was pretty amazing from the Wolves. Bending but not breaking in a game 7, when you are down 20 against the defending champs is pretty remarkable, and probably not even their fans thought they were capable of. Now they have all the self-belief in the world, if they thought they'd need any more. Obviously, Denver should have won a low scoring game up 20, they will have to make the painful admission and will probably not forget this one for a while. Kudos to both teams.
