This year's NBA playoffs first round brought quite a few surprises, especially the impressive performance of the Timberwolves. They swept the Suns, who have a strong triumvirate, 4-0 and showed their strength. While the Suns swept the Timberwolves in the regular season, in the playoffs, the situation was completely different.
Next, the Timberwolves will face off against the Nuggets, who eliminated the Lakers 4-1 in the first round. However, the Nuggets had a relatively tough road to qualify, often falling behind in the first half, but they were always able to catch up in the second half. While the Timberwolves have the upper hand in terms of overall strength, the Nuggets have key players like Jokic and Murray, as well as a wealth of playoff experience, making them a formidable opponent to be reckoned with.
A number of experts and celebrities have voiced their opinions. The Warriors' Dream believes that the Timberwolves are more likely to advance, and Yang Yi and Su Qun have also expressed optimism about the Timberwolves. However, NBA coach George Karl is bullish on the Nuggets, believing that the Nuggets can overcome their opponents with their experience advantage.
This matchup is destined to be a fierce contest, and both strength and experience will be fully reflected in the match. Let's wait and see who emerges from this fierce battle and advances to the Western Conference Finals!
