Grizzlies or as I like to call them Pacers West plus they have 3 Indiana products on the team.

After that anyone but the Spurs, LeBron, and Bulls.

I don't want Pau to win anything without Kobe.


Why?

I'm impressed at what Steve Kerr has done with the Warriors and Curry's rise to an MVP type player. They're my backup team this year for the playoffs.

If Pau wins without Kobe, it will be used to discredit Kobe's last two titles.

Warriors because of Jerry West and I want a west coast team.

Bulls because of Gasol.

Spurs because I respect their organization and what is sad is that the Lakers and Spurs once were mentioned as equals in the way they operated.

I dig the Grizzlies but they've been kinda weak lately. I like the Hawks and the Bucks too.

The teams that i despise and dont want to see win -> cavs, rockets and clips

Edit: That said, the Warriors will win it all and they are great to watch too and deserve the title. Thunder fans and Durant/Westbrook torn to shreds

If Pau wins without Kobe, it will serve as a lesson to the front office . They treated him pretty shabbily, IMO, bringing in a coach who was completely clueless as to how to use him, and continually trying to trade him.

It might serve as a lesson to all those Lakers fans who wanted him gone.

Be careful what you wish for.

That said, I will be rooting for the Warriors.

And in the first round, I'll be rooting for the Spurs.

The front office's mistake was not getting anything for Pau when we could.

We had already seen the best of Pau after he fell of a cliff after 2010.

He had declined long before MDA was hired.

He's still a very solid player, but he's not an elite big man anymore.

A declining Kobe and Pau just wasn't good enough anymore.

If the Bulls win it all it'll because Rose and Noah regained their form pre-injury.

Bulls hitting all cylinders represents the team that has the best shot at knocking off the Boasts. I suppose if the Wiz can get things together, they'd have a dark horse shot with that size and talent. Wiz can probably use improvement in the head coaching area too.

Boasts are lucky to have Mozgov, a move that was the real game changer for them, similar to when the Pistons acquired Sheed. It has that kind of potential.
