Suns didn't underperform. Ppl just been sleeping on how elite the Wolves are all year.

[@leandermiller1963]

I keep saying this. They're team can win it all this year.

[@Joefdgtr]

I think people have been noting for the Suns all year on their weakness. They lack all sense of depth as well as their 4Q has been shocking. Wolves i think got their respect given they were largely riding the #1 seed all year. Should be a good second round to see how far this team can go though!

[@lightbeforethetunnel]

@@Joefdgtr Wolves were riding #1 seed all year, but the mainstream media largely paid way too much attention to big names like LeBron, KD, Curry, etc. That generation of basketball is on its way out, but their names still bring in the money and views. Overall we are in a transition period and people aren't really aware of where the talent truly is yet. They're learning pretty quick, though, now. Wolves, being a low market team, and a team with a poor history so people just aren't used to having the Wolves on their radar yet... so they don't get the coverage they deserve. Their games weren't on National TV as much as they should have been, the most popular talking heads on Yt and mainstream media didn't really watch them or talk about them much.

[@lightbeforethetunnel]

@@Joefdgtr Another thing is: Wolves finished 1 game behind top seed in the West *without a prime KAT for much of the year* (he was out with an injury). He's back now and Wolves are full force, meaning, they're more elite than people realize. When you can finish that good of a record even while missing a prime top player like that, and you get that prime top player back? And he's a perfect fit for the team? That's crazy... especially combined with how little people are informed about this team, I think they're underrated despite the fact people know they were riding #1 seed all year.
