Clippers to win, they are the local team. After them, the Warriors.
I don’t want to see Boston in the Finals. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

I love the way the Warriors play, such beautiful basketball. After them, the Spurs. Nobody on those teams really care about their stats, they just care about winning while sharing the ball. _________________

Hmm. Interesting take. That they are a local rival makes me want them to win less. It’s like Angels vs Dodgers.
Wouldn’t you rather a team, without any sense of rivalry with us, and no hateable players win? Like the Bucks? |

No, there is no one on the Clippers I don’t like. In fact Lou is probably my favorite. It would be good for the city of LA. Angels-Dodgers I would cheer for the Angels but that’s because I’m not a Dodger fan. Even still I cheered for them as the local team in the World Series. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

1. who do you want to win it all?
-Bucks. I don't want anyone in the West winning.
2. which team(s) are you going full schadenfreude?
-Boston. Don't need to explain.
-Houston. Flop away James.
-Clips need to clip.
-OKC. Want them to be a 1st round exit again. F U PG13. |
I'd be happy if Bucks or Raptors won it |

Of the teams with a legit shot to win it all, it’s in y’all best interests to root for Houston or the Bucks.
Boston - Kyrie ain’t leaving if they win and y’all are trying to catch them in ring count.
Toronto - Kawhi ain’t leaving if they win.
Philly - Butler ain’t leaving if they win and with their youth they would start snatching all the ring chasers.
GS - Durant and Klay ain’t leaving if they win.
If the Bucks win they will spend all their $$ on their own guys, and my Rockets have no $$ to sign anyone this summer. You guys finally saw my side of things by embracing LeBron. Come fully to the darkside. |

Need Toronto, GS and Philly to crash and burn. Would love to see Giannis as a champion. |

I am on board with the Bucks.
But as long as Boston doesn't win, it is an acceptable result. _________________ Love, Laker Lanny |

Yeah, I don't really hate any Clipper players atm. I hated Doc when he coached Boston, but he's admittedly a good coach. Plus you got Jerry West, Zu, and Lou. |

TBH the only team that I would root against is Boston. Everyone else is fine.
I have nothing against the Dubs. But I hate watching repeats (unless it involves the Lakers).
Blazers are okay... I would actually like them if their fanbase wasn't riddled with Laker haters holding a 20 year grudge. I think they are the team that enjoys the BEAT LA chant the most.
Spurs are humbled now, so they're okay too.
I have no disdain for the Clippers, 76ers, or Houston either.
OKC is cool in my book. It actually looks like PG had some sense in his decision, so I can't blame him for that. I'm also a Leuzinger alum, so I wouldn't mind Westbrook winning one.
But the Bucks are my preferred champ. Giannis is just awesome to watch. He's such a beast. Not to mention Pau is on the team. |

I think Durant is gone regardless. His drama with Draymond Green really solidified it IMO. |
