MFFL here.

If the T Wolves get past Denver then it’s theirs to lose.

I don't think we have an overwhelming favorite. You have always been able to punch Boston in the mouth and watch them fold. Denver might not get out of the West. But Minnesota has arrived, finally, and Oklahoma City and Dallas seem like they are legit. New blood in the NBA is just what the doctor ordered.

Dallas or Pacers

Grew up a Mavs fan but stopped watching NBA maybe 2 or 3 years after the championship in 2011.

Pacers -due to proximity and trying to get back into NBA


But I think Celtics are just the best looking team right now

Agree. I think twolves or Denver. And at +480 & +600 odds on FD I think both are worth 100$ bet. Boston at +105 is laughable. And again , I’m a Celtics fan.

If you had asked me before Friday, I would have predicted a Nugs repeat, but the T-wolves look so sound, I think they are going to be hard to beat. Remains to be seen if Denver will flip a switch and get through this or if this is the T-wolves year.

I'm very interested in watching the other western semi as well. I am loving the type of basketball I'm seeing out of Kyrie Irving rn. Very compelling playoff basketball this year.

very true but they did get past their Kryptonite the Miami Heat.

Miami didnt have Jimmy Butler. Miami’s playoff run was over before it started once he got hurt.

Fakers got clapped out, but it’s low key disappointing that there are no more Clap threads.....

The playoffs are so great right now, because I don't think there is a single overwhelming favorite right now. The Celtics will more than likely make it out of the East. I think the Nuggets and Wolves both have equal chances to come out in the west. The Thunder and Mavs have a decent chance as well, but I think the winner of that series will still be under dogs vs Nuggets/Wolves series.

I still think Denver has the best roster to go all the way through the grind of the NBA playoffs and win the Finals. They have the best player in the tournament and one of the most clutch shooters.

It's funny how they're still so disrespected, even after getting the 1 seed when the West was more competitive than ever.

They shouldn’t be slept on, true.

But the wolves were a few games ahead until towns went down with a meniscus tear

That's actually pretty crazy considering they are "only" -290 to win the Eastern Conference which gives them an implied ~ -180 in the finals, which is too much imo even if you average out the potential WCF candidates.
Would not take the +105, the -290 does look juicy.
