Jason Smith and Mike Harmon are impressed with the Minnesota Timberwolves’ dominant 2-0 series lead over the Denver Nuggets, attributing their success to their strong defensive play and Karl-Anthony Towns’ outstanding performance. The duo believes that Minnesota may currently be the best team in the playoffs, as they have looked the strongest so far.
Smith highlights the Timberwolves’ ability to perform well even without key players like Rudy Gobert on the court, while Harmon praises Towns for his impressive gameplay despite receiving less attention than Anthony Edwards. Together, they discuss how the Timberwolves are consistently in their opponent’s face with their defensive efforts.
The duo also notes that they predict that Oklahoma City could potentially face Minnesota in the Western Conference Finals. They believe that if Minnesota continues to perform at this level, they could be a formidable force to be reckoned with in the NBA Playoffs.
