It's hilarious how reactionary this league is. Because of a hot start to the playoffs against a terrible Phoenix team and a good matchup against a Denver team with a gimpy Murray, now the Wolves are the consensus favorites per Stephen A and Wilbon? Get out of here. We're not even clear if they'll get past OKC or Dallas for that matter.
Just funny how reactionary people are. It's one thing to say they can beat Boston - which they clearly could take the series - but to say they're the consensus favorites it's just nonsense, especially for a team that has never seen the conference finals, let alone finals.
