  1. Timberwolves provide Denver with unique challenges due to the length of Gobert & KAT that Phoenix simply doesn't. Suns are not nearly as good defensively as the Wolves but have elite shooting with KD & Booker. Jokic was exhausted because he had Gobert wearing on him all series. Rudy played as well on Jokic as anybody has. DA is not remotely in Gobert's league as a defender which means Jokic doesn't have to work as hard on the offensive end to score. Gordon on Gobert & Towns was a mis-match all series and Gordon was in foul trouble. He's guarding KD is much easier for him physically. KD will score on anybody but he's not fouling Gordon out of games like trying to guard Gobert. Both these teams can score at will on each other. I'd bet the over every game.

  2. And if you value defense how do you pick Devin Booker over Jimmy Butler given the level of competition?
