NBA PUPOFFS — Not many NBA fans could have correctly predicted the first five games of the second-round playoff series between the Los Angeles Lakers and Golden State Warriors, with the Lakers taking a 3-1 lead before Golden State pulled one back on Wednesday.
Steph Furry is no ordinary fan, though. The wildly-popular pup, also known as Aircorg, has correctly predicted the winner of each game in the series through five games via a TikTok released on May 1.
THE CORGI IS 5/5…

Furry uses an appropriate system of two baskets — each representing a team — to make the predictions. He bounces a mini basketball into one of the two baskets until one team has four "wins."
Social media users were impressed after Furry was perfect through four games — correctly predicting the surprising 3-1 Lakers lead — but the fame skyrocketed on Wednesday after the perfect record moved to 5-0.
"The corgi might really have the script," the SportsCenter Twitter account said Thursday, followed by the eyeballs emoji.
Things only get harder from here, however, as Furry has the Warriors winning the next two in a row and taking the series in seven games — a fitting prediction for a dog named after the Warriors' superstar point guard I suppose.
