What a fitting finish Antman blocking Booker lol. Edwards has arrived. Lets see what he does against the nuggets.

KD 1st-round-swept a second time in three years. He really should've joined the Celtics in 2016, he probably has 10 rings by now.

Suns should have played IT. He surely would have scored more than Gordon (32 points in the series) or Okogie (14 points the whole series).

Ant is clean better than Tatum. I hate to admit it but Ant looks like 80s Jordan. He honestly looks closer to Jordan in style than both Kobe and Wade

Bird would have won 4 rings with that team, in this weak ass era of basketball.

Embarrassing for a Suns team with 3 max players.

All KD had to do was tell Brooklyn to trade him for Jaylen Brown.

At best, KD has 2 more seasons left in him.

I'll be impressed if Ant and Wolves take down the Nuggets.

Otherwise it's just a #3 seed taking care of an underachieving Suns team.

Every championship team from the last 43 years has either had a top 5 offense, top 5 defense, or both. Except for three outliers -- 1995 Rockets, 2006 Heat, and 2011 Mavericks.

The top 5 on offense this season are still alive -- BOS, IND, OKC, LAC, DEN.
The top 5 on defense this season are still alive -- MIN, BOS, ORL, OKC, MIA.

Except for Miami, all the teams are either tied in their series, leading, or have won already.

Lakers, Bucks, Pelicans, Mavs, Knicks, Cavs, and Sixers would be outliers if they end up winning the title.

Ant-Man and the Wolves could follow the Celtics path in 2022:

R1: Sweep KD's superteam
R2: Beat the defending champs
CF: Beat a team w/ a championship coach with a one-syllable name
Finals: Eventually fall to a team who chucks a lot of threes

But you do realize that 1 great series doesn't automatically make you a great player, right?

Maybe everybody is blind and you're the only one who can see.

Ant Man has not made a single All-NBA team so far.

Maybe this year.

Of course. I’d like to see what he does in the next rounds and this entire playoffs before we proclaim him. You just can’t deny the talent though.
