Some of these comments are baffling. Can Minnesota beat the Celtics if they were to match up with them in the finals ? Of course. But for certain people to say they trust a Timberwolves team that just made the second round with this core for the first time over the Celtics because of how they performed in the Finals 2 years ago is insane.

Timberwolves have not experienced any real pressure as of yet. They weren’t expected to win both games in Denver which is why they played with so much confidence. Games 3 & 4 will determine if this Timberwolves team is ready to win a championship. The pressure is on them for the first time.

Lol C's would win easily without trying.

Watch the Celtics defense this post season. Average winning margin of 21 points. Ant is going to have a very hard time scoring against the C's defense. Towns is gonna have to come up huge.
Towns and Gobert are gonna get dragged away from basket with 5 shooters on perimeter at all times.
Wolves are also going to have a much more tiring, physically stressful journey to get there...if they do.
One day Marcus Smart will be defensive player of the year, mark my words.

The Celtics mostly because Gobert is utterly useless in this hypothetical scenario.

Seems the wolves may not get to play the Celtics although admittedly after game 2 of the series I would have picked the wolves to beat the celtics.
