Lakers fan pre 1980 here ...... Who do you hate more? Clippers ( love Blake and Pail ) or Houston? Who do you want Golden State to beat?

I want GS over Clips in WCF? You?

Obviously GS. Houston has Coward and manufactured star Harden. Clippers are the Clippers.

The choice should be clear.

Golden State....sadly, they will be a power for years to come so rooting for them now will probably backfire...oh well...

The OP asked who we want Warriors to beat...Clippers or Houston (who we hate more) not who we want to win it all.

I want Clippers gone NOW!! I want them to choke away their 3-1 series lead and be one of a very few teams to lose in 7 after being up 3-1 in the Playoffs. They say they are the Los Angeles basketball team....NOT!!

Then GS can beat Houston.

I honestly can't muster up too much hate for the Clippers.

GS over Rox is what I want.

I initially wanted the Clippers to beat Houston, but seeing this epic collapse in the making is just too much fun.

GS will have an easier time with Houston anyway. Warriors in 5, 6 tops.

The thing is the dwight thing as bad as was for us, is over and done. Anything we hear about dwight is news over in houston now and only secondary...but the clippers have fans everywhere in our backyards...we hear about their news all the time. So I find it more pleasing to see them blow it.

I can't stand Dwight Coward, but I absolutely LOATHE the Clips. From the moment they arrived in LA and proclaimed themselves "the people's team" (that one made Pat Riley's head fall off), to their years of total ineptitude, and now the current era with Doc Rivers (his 08 Celtics had no class), Chris Paul (overrated), and Blake Griffin (cheap shot artist), not to mention their absolutely insufferable new owner who makes a fool out of himself constantly...well, all I can say is Go Dwight Coward!

That said, I think the Clips will win Game 7 anyway, but they were lucky to beat Golden State last year, and the Warriors will take them down this time.

Golden States has many virtues of a champion.

I don't need to side with GS to pick them over Rox or Clips.

They are the best team in the NBA not without good reasons.

Their ability to adjust from the pressure by Memphis has proven they are ready at the highest level. Curry and Clay Thompson alone are a big headache for other team's defense. And they can play defense too.

They deserve to meet the Leastern Champs Hawks and hoist the trophy.

I don't like the Cips. I don't like Dwight. Either way, Dubs will destroy them. Dubs 2015 NBA Champs.

GS sweeps the Clippers. That'd be awesome.

I want Morey, Harden, and Dwight to get exposed for they are, overrated, choker, and clown, respectively. As a deeply rooted Angeleno, I root for all LA teams even ducks an Angels. Used to even like some of the old clippers team with MJax, Harper, Norman, Manning... but after they stole CP3 fiasco things changed. Dwight still sucks more

I don't hate any teams. I have favorites and teams I dislike, but this is just entertainment to me and if I don't like the result, I have better things to worry about.

The Laker championship teams had players that were easy to dislike if you were a hater. I can't even count the number of people who hated on Kobe over the years. Artest, Bynum, and Shaq were not exactly perfect people. Utah fans were even hating on Derek Fisher.

People here would hate Golden State a lot more if our team was a contender. But because Golden State hasn't been playing the Lakers in the playoffs since ever (?), it's easier to sit back and watch them play their entertaining style of basketball against the other teams in the West.

I'm hoping for the Warriors and Clippers because those are the two best offenses, the two best teams, and the two most entertaining teams (IMO).

I don't talk trash and don't care what Clipper trash talkers have to say. If anybody wants to act like they are 12, then go ahead. I just can't take that stuff seriously. A lot of those people were probably Laker fans in 2010 and will be Laker "fans" whenever the team is relevant again.

The Rockets are my hometown team, and a lot of my friends are Rockets fans. I'm sick of seeing Chris Paul and Blake Griffin in commercials. It would be sort of fun to see Harden and Curry in a playoff series after the MVP debate. So marginally, I'd rather see the Rockets win. I can't say that I care that much, though.

It's the Warriors' title to lose this year. The Cavs could have given them a fight, but they may not even get past the Hawks with the injuries to Love and Irving.

I find it interesting that the nba announced a ref team known to be biased enough towards one team (the clippers) that it actually shifted vegas' line

I definitely will get a lot more joy from seeing the Clippers choke away a 3-1 lead than I would have disappointment for seeing the Rockets advance - especially since GS will take out the Rockets anyway. I don't even have to think about it.
