We don't need to root against D12, a looser can take care of it by himself. |
Clippers are the same way. No matter what happens over the course of the playoffs, if the Clippers are in it then they're guaranteed to lose in the most tragic way possible.
Blowing 20 point leads, blowing a 3-1 series lead, having both of your star players get freak injuries, losing to the 6th seed while being the 3rd seed.
They could be up up 30 with a minute left to in game 7 of the 2nd round and they'll find a way to not make it to the WCF. They make sure that they lose in the most heart breaking and dramatic fashion every single time. _________________ “Life is too short. You have to keep it moving.” - Kobe |

I want to see Lou have a great playoffs but I don't care if Houston wins. Right now, I just want the Cavs and Warriors to lose because they could challenge the 15-1 record of the 2001 Lakers. |

Cheering for Lou, MDA and the Rockets. I typically cheer for the Spurs at this point but won't now that TD has retired. _________________ RIP mom. 11-21-1933 to 6-14-2023. |

The biggest reason is because I want to go to another parade wearing a Kobe shirt again, I surprisingly got no (bleep) wearing a Kobe shirt last time I went. I'm not a big KD fan because he just seems fake but Curry,Klay and Draymond are by far my favorite non Lakers.
I also hate how every Lakers fan claims that the Warriors are their second team because I was actually rooting for the Warriors whenever they weren't playing the Lakers before they became good. I started off as a bandwagon Lakers fan when I first started watching the NBA but idk how anyone can hop off of a Lakers bandwagon. This is the greatest franchise in sports.
The only two teams I'll hate no matter who's on their roster are the Celtics and Clippers. |
People in the bay, not everyone likes the GSW. I didn't like lebron before, but was rooting for him to beat GSW. I don't like this jacking up of threes all game long. It's a bad game to watch live. No more gritty low post play in today's NBA. Kobe was the last of a dying breed.
When lebron won I finally started respecting him. (Prime Kobe even old Kobe schooled him)
This year, rooting against GSW again. Let make the NBA great again. |

Yes, because I think that's the closest formula for success for the Lakers, even if they want to build similarly to GSW.

I always root against the Celtics.
Not against Cavs, but get real sick of the Lebrun hype.
I root for Houston because of Arizona and Lou.
I like the way the Warriors play and would
Much rather see them win than any Eastern conference team. |

To me it feels like ages since Lou was a Laker, so I'm already over him. He's the enemy now.
Any team but Boston or Cleveland. I'm not rooting for anyone to win, but I'm rooting for those 2 teams to lose. |

I'm indifferent.
One thing I do like about the Rockets is that they are a one star team. So more rooting for the concept, than the team. |

Couldn't care less, but if I did care a bit more, I'd root even harder against the Rockets because of Lou. _________________ #32 is the greatest Laker ever. |

Yeah, and isn't Ariza more of a reason to root for the Rockets than Lou? _________________ I'm a Balliever. |

Forget about the fans. It's the teams that count and if another Warriors/Cavs series could equal the intensity of last year's Finals I'm all for that.

Don't care who wins as long as it isn't the Celtics. Really have nothing against any of the western conference teams at this point. Can get a little annoying when the Mavs are good since I live in Dallas and have to deal with anti-Laker sentiment, but since they suck anyway, it doesn't matter. |
