Minny has 3 very good bigs to throw at Joker. Makes a ton of difference. Minny also has a couple of long athletic wings who can defend. A very solid vet PG. And of course, the best guard, and possibly player, on the court in Antman.
Murray a little banged up. Even if he wasn't, Antman still probably better at this point (Murray has experience factor yet). KCP a little banged up, hurts Denver. Porter Junior now has several guys whom he not only has to guard that are tough covers, but also that Minny can throw at him. Gordon is no longer the default best power forward defending/utility man whom is the best X factor doing that on the floor - Minny has guys who can counter him well.
Minny matchups up extremely well with Denver. Tipping factor is Antman becoming "that guy" now. Tips the scales.
Been so many great games so far in the NBA playoffs, and it is still just the start of the 2nd round. Fun stuff.
