Who the fuck are the six ahead of them?
Hell, most people in the NBA forum actually have the Suns winning the series. Just looking at their lineup, I just find this Wolves team to be very underrated.

A legit number 1 option in Antman and a number 2 scoring option in Towns. Excellent rebounding team that will get you 2nd chance points with them offensive boards, and a killer defense as well. This is a team to me that is good enough to win it all this year.

Don’t know if people actually eat paint chips but I know huffing is a thing.
Um...unsolicited life experience, but okay!

A little older and more seasoned than the other young new team OKC...Conley after all, KAT been there a bit, Gobert, etc

This is exactly what I saw out of the Suns everytime I watched them this season

Their pieces don't really fit all that well. And Phoenix is finding out the same problem the Lakers had with Vogel; he's a very good defensive coach but his offenses are basic as fuck and often leads to just the superstar trying to make something happen iso. I'm not saying this is all Vogel's fault. Just saying the entire mix doesn't bode well for their championship chances. And like you said, its been there all season with and without the injuries

Pacers fan said this about Vogel in 2016.

People are eating paint chips if they got the Knicks or Bucks higher
I think you'll see odds change after this series

Wolves were 0-3 vs suns and many expected that to carry forward into playoffs.

Jaden is very underrated as well

I’m guessing it also partially has to do with both those teams being opposite bracket of Celtics while wolves are paired on Nuggets side

But still crazy

Also assuming that’s why Clips are above wolves too

This stuff changes daily, Twolves now tied for 3rd in odds with the Thunder

To say both teams look mentally challenged driving to the rim and finishing, would be an understatement.

If the Suns get swept do they blow it all to hell?

Wolves should probably stop fouling

And also stop getting cooked by chubby 40 year old Eric Gordon
