The Phoenix Suns have been no match for the Minnesota Timberwolves in the first two games of their first-round NBA Playoffs series in Minneapolis, falling behind in the series, 2-0.

But some Suns fans are holding out hope for a comeback based on a dog's prediction for the Western Conference postseason series.

That's right.

A dog is giving Phoenix fans, who are desperate to believe their team can come back in the series, hope.

Before the series began, the dog, Aircorg, made picks for every first-round NBA Playoffs series by hitting a ball into different waste baskets marked with a Timberwolves logo and a Suns logo.

The first two balls went into the Timberwolves basket, giving Minnesota the 2-0 series lead, which has been the way the series has played out after the first two games.

The next three balls all went into Phoenix's basket, however, giving the Suns a 3-2 series advantage, with the fourth missing a basket altogether.

The final ball, however, went into the Suns' basket, giving Phoenix a 4-2 series win in the first-round series.

So you're saying there's a chance, huh?
