I'm REALLY pulling hard for Minnesota in this one.

This SHOULD be a fun series to watch, and might end up going the distance before we figure out the Western Conference representation in the NBA Finals.

I believe the Wolves will win the series, ultimately I think that is also best for my mental well being.

There is no remaining possible outcome to the NBA Playoffs that is good for my mental well-being.

I've been 85 percent tapped in to the W for the last ten days, anyhow. Might as well shift all the way over.

I lived in New England for all or part of 9 out of 11 years between 88 and 98, so I'll be at peace if Boston wins.

The sheer audacity of a 5 West vs 6 East is something I could probably normally get behind as well. The meltdown this board in particular (not to mention unmoderated Kings spaces like twitterX and reddit) would have if that happens would be too much for me, when it should also be a signal that maybe the Kings actually could win it all in our lifetimes.

I have fond memories of the NBC days too but they weren't some benevolent broadcast corporation who should be pitied.

Also they'll be back soon enough. And maybe it won't be as great as it was back then.

If it comes down to getting milk-manned, it'll be the end of the line. NFL is starting to sway that way. Easy to leave it.....sports are a nice distraction that can be dropped if need be. Luckily watching through Max.

Hoping for Minny here, I think they're a far more interesting match-up vs the Celtics in the finals. Really curious how Ant handles a steady diet of Jrue and Derrick White over the course of a 7-game series and how the Celts match-up with Rudy and KAT in the post. Possibly one weakness of the Celts is Al Horford has been looking damn old throughout this run and he's been a huge part of their defense.

would like nothing more than to see the Wolves get their first NBA Finals berth in their short franchise history. This series really is going to be a coin toss. both teams are strong defensively, Wolves have lengthy defenders to bother Doncic. Hopefully this series goes 6 or 7, no more blow outs would be preferable

Getting to the finals looks in the cards...... beaeting the Nuggets was the Wolves seal of approval..... You may get your wish with less blowouts. Wolves handled the Mavericks in the regular season Conley is underrated.

as we've seen through the Playoffs, regular season records are irrelevant but watching Edwards defend Irving will be fun to watch. Let's see how flustered Doncic gets with Minnesota's physicality

I was tempted to say Minnesota in 6, but I really think this will be a 7 game series, with Luka coming up a bit short in the end.

"Big Sawfty" is about to go to the NBA Finals, folks...:p:p:p

The theme of the conference finals round thus far: traffic cones are really going to be traffic cones and old folks are gonna play like old folks.
