Minnesota and OKC is gonna be pretty interesting. Ant is extremely fun to watch and the league definitely wants him to get star exposure, but I still think Shai is the better guard out of the two. It's close enough that they might just end up essentially cancelling each other out. Incredibly, I think this series might hinge on Julius Randle. As long as he continues to resist his traditional instinct of turning into a pumpkin for the postseason, I think Minnesota has a pretty good chance.

In order of who I want to take it all:
1. Nuggets (I wanna see Russ get a ring)
2. Pacers (would be nice to see them finally win one)
3. TWolves (same as Pacers)
4. Knicks (only reason I wanna see them win is to see Trump declare Martial Law in order to calm down the celebratory riots).

Well, in updated fashion for the last teams remaining.
1. TWolves (I want Anthony aura in the league, and Mike Conley is the final oldhead pg standing rn, Randle beats the choker stigma)
2. Knicks (New York Riots of 2025, Tom Thibodeau and KAT complete redemption arc, generally likeable team of good roleplayers)
3. OKC (Alex Caruso OKC return arc, Shai is slowly growing on me, possible start of a new dynasty for everyone to hate (which might lead to a Russ OKC return on a top-tier team for his ring))
4. Pacers (Rick Carlisle goes out on a good note, Haliburton respect arc, Inevitable Reggie Miller mental breakdown during commentary)

Shai is the more consistent player, he's gonna get you 30 every night; Ant however possess the ability to catch fire like few other guards, if he has a great series I could see that pushing the T-wolves over the top.
 
I know it's WNBA, but it's funny how there's fatigue for that league as well when it comes to Reese.

One of those she-he's or butch lesbos will end up giving Clark a career ending injury to put her in her place... Then bitch about paychecks being small compared to NBA lol.
 
This is kind of what I was thinking might happen when I said Randle could be the most important player in the series.

If the NBA could play into their race war in the 80s to make bank despite Magic Johnson and Larry Bird being friends off the court, surely the WNBA can do the same when they're blessed with these two genuinely disliking each other.

With people who make it to the pro league a lot of the time they've been far and away the best at their level their entire lives until they make it to the pros, and that can do weird things to your ego. I can understand having a chip on your shoulder when you're suddenly watching someone else enjoy popularity that you think you should have since you've never really been in this position before, but you're still an adult and ultimately you're still helped out overall by the league being bolstered. Surely this kind of animosity wasn't as prevalent with Jordan back when he caused a huge boom? Obviously it existed on a player level, but I don't think it did institutionally.
