I definitely did not see Wolves going up 2-0 against Nuggets AT ALL! That is seriously incredible, this Anthony Edwards dude is doing way too much, like way more than I could ever imagine, and I am not just talking about offense, he is great there of course, but he is great at defense as well.

I can see the comparisons to MJ to be fair, not about talent or level but about the playstyle that they had on their early years. I am not saying Wolves will win the title, but I think it looks quite obvious that we are going to end up with seeing them do quite well, and maybe even have that chance. Celtics look like they do not have much competition at east this season, it would require a big upset for them to not be at the finals, and I think they may even have a chance to win the whole thing.

I also did not expect Nuggets' situation at all. If someone told me they would lose two games at home like this, I would never have believed. What Timberwolves are doing is quite important. Nuggets are kinda in their prime also IMO, they were not bad at all. Timberwolves's defence is getting really good. Edwards's situation is also getting very interesting. He is 'at least' as athletic as Jordan. Since kobe, very few players have come to the league with such a high level of both defence and offence. His potential is really high. Right now, he is the most exciting player for me.

Yes, it's really there defense on the Nuggets in the first 2 games that really surprises everyone, it's not physical defense or something, but it was enough to bother the Denver and they don't have any answers so far even if they played at their homecourt.

And then we have the young ANT and probably it's a sign in the NBA that the young core are taking it over. No Steph and Lebron in this playoff, but we have ANT, SGA and others very young and star players putting up a show for this year, times have change now.
