Phoenix Suns.
GAME 1 MONEYMAKER.
Game 577.
12:00 PM PST/3:00 PM EST.
Yes, the Minnesota Timberwolves finished the regular season a very impressive, 56-26. But this is a team that must be nervous because they have been bounced out of the first round in each of the past two seasons. As a matter of fact, they haven't made it past the first round since 2004. On the other hand, Phoenix ended the regular season winning six of eight games, which does include their final three contests. It's no secret the Suns have dominated the Timberwolves, winning nine of the last 10 straight up, and covering nine consecutive meetings. Getting to the postseason is one thing. But succeeding in the playoffs is an entirely different monster, and Phoenix has made the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year. I think giving this team points is a mistake. Take the Suns. Thank you.
