Nearly every talking head picked the Suns.Chuck is great for entertainment value, but half the things he says are obvious. At least he isn't comatose and dumb like Shaq. When Chuck does March Madness, his go-to line is University of So-and-so "will win because they're the better team." It'd be interesting to know what Chuck said going into the series? When the playoffs began, I didn't trust the Wolves at all but they're playing elite ball right now.
Hockey is way different, with a lot more chance and bouncing puck involved. Those type of comebacks are more rare in the NBA. Also as noted above, the Wolves are playing championship level defense right now. I'm not saying they'll go all the way, but Nuggets will have to solve that D 4 games out of 5. I don't know what the betting markets say, but that's maybe 15% at best.
Also nearly everyone picked the Nuggets. I can't blame them. I picked them too before the last two games.
