The Mavs are the underdog against OKC. OKC is 6-2 in their last eight meetings.

I voted Minnesota. They have the size in their frontcourt to relieve the backcourt of pressure. It's just an overall solid frontcourt that makes them a true contender.

Uh, OKC are heavy underdogs here. Pretty much all the major analysts are picking Dallas - Nick Wright, Brue, Skip, even Paul Pierce. Yeah, they've dominated the regular season matchups but they have no playoff experience, so the regular season record doesn't matter.

The T Wolves are playing the best ball that I’ve seen so far this year. And they’re proving me wrong. I remember calling them a fake contender because they didn’t have a franchise player until Edwards emerges.

Well, that baby has come out early and I’m eating crow for the first time in a while.

I hope that they go all the way, if not Luka or Jokic. Literally, any of these three could win it all and I’d be thrilled.

Timberwolves>OKC>>Mavericks

OKC is fairly close to the Timberwolves but I think Timberwolves are better right now. OKC could be a serious force for the next decade if they play their cards right.

I'm picking the Mavs in a seven game series against either of them.

But that doesn't mean any of the three could beat any of the others in a series. OKC and Minny have super bright futures if their front offices play it right, too.

I think it's sort of a paper-rock-scissor thing where one could beat the other, but the third team could beat that team. It's hard to decide which is which.

I didn’t find it difficult. Minnesota ran straight through Phoenix. Dallas took six games to dispatch an LAC team missing its best player. I’m a Thunder fan that voted for Minnesota before their series with Denver started.

Yeah with how the Wolves are playing I'm not sure either OKC or Dallas can stop them from the Finals. They're like the 04 Pistons with 3 point shooting and a Baby Jordan. I figured it'd be 1-1 for sure with no Gobert, doesn't look like it.

He will NEVER go back to Minny again which is a complete opposite of South Beach but any didn't he play for Minny awhile back for Thibs?

Why don't you live in Minny for a week and then tell Jimmy why he should move back Lol
