The Western Conference Final is about to start! Who do you prefer? Forecast analysis is coming!

11:04am, 21 May 2025Basketball

On May 21, the NBA division finals will be staged, and the first to appear were the Thunder and the Timberwolves. During the regular season this season, the two sides fought four times, both winning and losing. The Thunder star Alexander is only 26 years old! The average age of their first five tigers is only 25 years old! The Timberwolves are no less than that, and Edwards, the star of the company, is only 23 years old! Their first five tigers are composed of three generations of old, middle-aged and young, and their average age is only 29 years old!

The Thunder, who have a home advantage, have a home winning rate of 85% this season. As of now, they have only lost one home game! In the lineup, the Thunder have Dorte, Caruso, Alexander and others. They have enough outside defense resources to implement wheel battles or double-team strategies against Edwards, thereby limiting Edwards' single-point outbreak! In the inside, Homgren has experienced strong storms like Jokic. Even though Gobert and Randall are also strong, the threat is obviously much smaller than Jokic.

And the Thunder are not without disadvantages. They fought with the Nuggets for seven games, and after only one day of rest, they were about to face the Western Conference Finals. The opponent Timberwolves solved the Warriors early. They rested for five days and were undoubtedly more physically energetic. Just as the Thunder have enough defensive resources to limit Edwards, the Timberwolves' defensive resources should not be underestimated. McDaniels, Walker, and Edwards are also defending the outside, and Gobert and Reed also protect the frame in the inside. Once the Thunder's outside attack is blocked, the Timberwolves will definitely limit Alexander's breakthrough efficiency through pincer attacks and assisting the penalty area, so the Thunder will be in danger!

Overall, the Thunder and the Timberwolves are as strong as the Timberwolves, and the main stars of both sides will have enough defensive strength to limit their performance in the future. The victory or defeat of the game may depend on Randall, Jaylen, and Chet! It depends on who can give the team more help! Of course, the most important thing is to look at the on-the-spot adjustments of the head coaches of both sides and the status of their respective players. The strength of both sides is very close, and it may not be possible to reach the tiebreak in this round of series! Who do you think is more optimistic about advancement?
