No sugarcoating here—the Phoenix Suns are facing a tough spot. Down 0-2 in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs after they suffered double-digit losses in both game to start the series.
The headlines are grim, the momentum’s missing, and fans are feeling ready to throw in the towel.
But amidst the gloom, there’s a glimmer of hope—a furry one at that.
Meet Corgi, aka “Air Corg,” a TikTok sensation renowned for nose-bopping balls into baskets to predict game outcomes. While Corgi’s been in the game for a while, her stardom soared when she correctly called the first five games in last year’s Western Conference Semifinals between the Warriors and Lakers.
Since then, Corgi’s strutted her stuff on Good Morning America and Jimmy Kimmel.
As for Corgi’s take on the Suns vs. Timberwolves matchup, she foresaw Minnesota snagging the first two games at home. But fear not, Suns fans, as Corgi predicts a comeback of epic proportions—four straight wins for Phoenix. In the current Suns slump, this is a ray of hope worth clinging to.

I refuse to start panicking about the Phoenix Suns solely because the Corgi told us this was going to happen.

Now, onto the odds: fulfilling Corgi’s prophecy means overcoming a daunting 7.3% chance. But hey, the Suns have a history of being on the opposite side of defying the odds, as seen in the 2022 Western Conference Semifinals against the Dallas Mavericks and, of course, the 2021 NBA Finals with the Milwaukee Bucks that nobody wants to be reminded of.
