In order for Mavs to advance NBA Finals, I think also Luka needs a lot of his magic, even the amounts of we've never seen before. I respect Mavs but I agree with your points, yes they have more experience but who's gonna stop Edwards? Luka needs to be some legendary level, so much so that for years his legendary WCF performance must be talked about. I can't see a clear favourite but I am certain that Mavs's job is harder. Timberwolves defence stopped Nuggets at the end and won those 4 games, they might do the same to Mavs. In the beginning of this year and also in the beginning of playoffs, I didn't expect this much efficient Wolves. I can't see any reason why they can't get the title.

Dallas definitely has a great arsenal of scorers, and it is not double team type of thing anymore. Jokic was stopped basically because they had twin towers. However, Irving and Doncic are not pick and roll players, they are scorers from perimeter, and I think it would be quite possible for them to get a win. However, Wolves showed that their defense is so great that they could actually stop anyone, and I believe that we are going to really see them do quite well on offense as well.

It was a big shocker for me to see Wolves win, ANT really plays like a superstar, I did not expect him to be this good. The trio of Gobert-KAT-Ant ends up being something special out of nowhere, at the start of the season nobody would have guessed this.

Well i fell sleep yesterday and i really think Denver was gonna win the last seven amtch against Minnesota Timberwolves, because they were winning in the early stages of the game and i think, well they recover their memory and are gonna be again the conference finals. Nothing of that happen when i wake up today i see they lost.

It’s suicidal to YOLO bet with Dallas considering how great the defense and offense of Wolves. I wonder who will guard with Gobert and KAT properly on Dallas current line-up without removing Kyrie and Luka on their player on the court.

Both Kyrie and Luka will be a burden on defense if they can’t answer on offense while ANT will have the greatest day of his life free shooting or driving due to the space that Gobert and KAT give to him.

It’s a massacre to think that Wolves will play same energy level when they are against Nuggets. Maybe game 1 might be rest for Wolves but the rest of the match will surely overwhelming for Dallas.

I was sort of in the same boat.  At halftime it looked like Minnesota was done.  Denver was abusing them and the score showed it.  So I went out with some friends for a bit.  When I checked my phone the Timberwolves were up by 8!  I was like, holy shit!  I had to rewatch what happened when I got home.  Amazing game.  It lived up to the hype.  The two best teams in the NBA and didn't disappoint.  I'm already looking forward to seeing them match up next year. 

Yeah that was a crazy game but it wasn't ant who won them that game it was the other guys.  Naz Reid came up huge.  Jaden McDaniel had a quiet 23, and that putback by KAT on that offensive rebound was so clutch.  First time in history anyone has come back in the playoffs down by 15 or more.  Gonna male for a great wcf (which the NBA finals winner should come out of).

For Gobert, it would be Gafford most of the time if he isn't injured but if he is, it would be Lively II. For KAT, most of the time it would be PJ Washington.
Overall, I don't see the Mavericks winning on this one either.

I mean I don't underestimate the Mavericks in this match-up, but beating the defending champions? Defeating a team that has the MVP and currently the best player in the league? That's a bigtime statement for the Timberwolves saying, "We're here to win it all." Irving and Doncic will be having a hard time finding ways to get some rhythm because of the suffocating defense of the Timberwolves that's for sure. The Wolves have it all. Defensive minded players but can contribute on offense as well. I will not be surprised if the Timberwolves will get the NBA title this season after 20 years of continuously losing.

Beating the Nuggets surely boost the morale of the Timberwolves, and they will carry it all throughout the playoffs. I'll go with Timberwolves on this one probably in 6 games, or 5 maybe, but it will not go 7 games. No disrespect to the Mavericks, but the Wolves are just better.

It's worth noting that the Wolves looked down by the end of the second quarter of that game, as the Nuggets were already leading by a lot of points. Placing a bet on the underdog team to win at that point seems like a bit of a gamble, and I think there were very few who actually decided to do it.
p.s.
As for the upcoming series, I personally expect the Wolves and Celtics to meet each other in the finals.

Stats wise we can all see that big advantages as like what the post above you mentioned with the two towers they can give a free looks for ANT, the good catch is KAT also have that killer instinct, he have that capabilities to attack and that height and veterans advantage against the young big of Dallas, though basketball is the game of skills and good adoptions to adjust.

We will see what will be the outcome of this series after bringing those info about the comparisons of these two teams that competes.

Well, anybody will be totally in disappointment with what happened. I agree that they still did great this season, after winning the last season's ring, they still made it far to the playoffs.

The sad truth there, it seems that the Nuggets only has three players.

Jokic, Murray and Gordon.
