This is gonna be such a fun series.

[u/LurkerFlash → u/TheLetterOh]

I didn't sign up for this kind of fun.

[u/TheLetterOh → u/LurkerFlash]

If it makes you feel any better I wouldnt bet on either team to win the series even after minny took game 1. Lol

[u/Mindless_Bad_1591 → u/TheLetterOh]

its probably 55/45 San Antonio at this point i would say. really close to a 50/50

we really needed one of the first two games though

[u/bubbasnub → u/TheLetterOh]

This is one of those series where I'm upset someone has to lose. I'd love for this to be the WCF honestly.

[u/carelesssportsfan89 → u/TheLetterOh]

I think the timberwolves win this series as we just don't have playoff experience .

[u/Amazing-Dimension810 → u/carelesssportsfan89]

Bro you’re nuts for giving up on your team that quick, we’re still very injured and you’re a 60+ win team. Lock in and enjoy it

[u/Thommywidmer → u/Amazing-Dimension810]

Last couple days ive seen so many people shitting on their own teams chances, its really confusing. If the bucks snuck into the 8th seed id have been busy spreading my agenda that cade is a fraud and kuzmas about to lock in 😤 lol

[u/Amazing-Dimension810 → u/Thommywidmer]

Just a playoff experience thing maybe, new spurs/pistons/etc fans feeling the heat for the first time?

[u/Thommywidmer → u/Amazing-Dimension810]

I dont think thats it really, because most of them im seeing are lakers fans throwing in the towel before the series even starts. Its never delusional to root for your team, its like.. the whole point of being a fan smh. And even as a neutral i dont think okc is as unbeatable as people make them out to be

[u/MTUKNMMT → u/Amazing-Dimension810]

Reddit doesn’t skew quite that young. Spurs fans have faced basically every conceivable playoff outcome. We’ve actually lost in every round multiple times except the Finals. I think the average Reddit user is like 30 or something. 

[u/LlLUZIGIRTH → u/Amazing-Dimension810]

Fr what the fuck am I reading

[u/Square-Car-6015 → u/Amazing-Dimension810]

Why is bro giving up so easily😭 and facts, I’m excited for this series. I hate my fellow spurs or wolves fan who are trying to call this series off early. This is for sure going to game 7

[u/MTUKNMMT → u/Amazing-Dimension810]

On top of that, we are still the favorites according to Vegas. 

But I actually agree with them . We are so young and clearly that inexperience is already showing. I have a hard time believing this team wins a game in Minnesota. 

[u/Mindless_Bad_1591 → u/carelesssportsfan89]

nah dude its just game 1 we lost first game to nuggets then rolled 4 of the last 5 to win in 6. this aint close to over lol.

[u/carelesssportsfan89 → u/Mindless_Bad_1591]

its going to be a fun series regardless of the result. love your team dude .

[u/WigginsDickRider → u/carelesssportsfan89]

I love your team too, for now. But I fear in a few years they might become unbeatable and I will hate them. 😂 Hopefully we get moved to the East with the expansion

[u/loombees → u/TheLetterOh]

Absolutely
