Now That The Lakers Are Done, Who Are You Pulling For?

I refuse to support any team that talked trash and kicked my Lakers while they were down this year. That includes Suns, T-Wolves, Grizzlies. So, no to them.

Mavs and Spurs have owners that hate the Lakers, so no to them.

Although I respect them, I can't support the Clippers as long as the backstabbers Kawhi and PG are on that team.

Jazz and Nuggets I don't mind, but they won't win it anyway.

Pelicans are bottom dwellers that don't even deserve a 2nd thought.

So, from the west, I wouldn't mind seeing the Warriors get it.

From the east, the only team I really don't like are the Nets. I'm not a Celtic hater, but I don't want them to get to 18 before us. I don't care about the other teams. If I had to choose, I'd say either the Bulls or the Bucks, whom I actually like.

All in all, I'd like the Bucks, then the Bulls, then the Warriors.

Same answer as last year

Everybody but Celtics and Clips

Anybody against the Warriors. Can’t stand Curry’s cockiness and showboating. Also their fans (bleep) pieces of (bleep).

It would be the Bucks for me if they didn't pick up Grayson Allen. I'm liking Miami and Memphis. Not a big fan of Booker/Crowder. Anyone else (save for the Celts and Clips of course) I wouldn't mind.

Cardinals, Blues. In the NBA I’m hoping for competitive series.

i'm fine with any team except these:

clippers (obvious reason)

celtics (obvious reason)

suns (too much trash talk, want to end their mini "dynasty" as quickly as possible)

sixers (more chance of Doc Rivers comes to Lakers if Sixers flame out early)

spurs (slim chance of happening anyway, but i just despite that franchise so much especially papovich who holds grudges against Lakers ever since the pau gasol trade)

The Grizzles are a very likable team so I’m going with them

I like to keep it west coast so I'm gonna go with the warriors

Anyone but Harden and Embiid

No Suns, Clippers, Sixers or Celtics.

Don’t particularly want GS winning, but they are not as annoying as those other 3 teams that haven’t won’t (bleep) and act like clowns…then there is Boston. Enough said.

1) GRIZZ
2) WARRIORS
3) BUCKS

NO ONE ELSE.

I actually like GSW the team.

Their fan base is annoying as hell though lol.

Being in the Bay Area makes it worse.

Any team but the Clippers. I know they are beating the Suns so the only team that can stop them are the Bucks.

i do think clipps v wolves is an interesting play in match up.

Bucks/Warriors/Mavs

Warriors, Mavs, will probably root for the Clips to knock off one of the top seeds.

In the East, Raptors, Bulls, and Hornets.

Anyone but Clippers, Nets, Heat, Celtics, Suns, Warriors.

Pulling for:

Spurs..... Pop's speech on Kobe's death and his relentless criticism of previous POTUS won me over.

Hawks.... Trae Young honoring Kobe by wearing his number won me over.

Bulls.... just beat the Bucks.

Raptors.... just beat the Suxers.

Grizz... just beat the Suns.

Nuggets.... just beat the GSW.

Mavs.... just beat the NBA-COVID patient zero.

I think it's safe to say the hated Celtics and Flippers won't win. Suns look really determined and will be hard for any team in west to stop. Fully healthy Warriors are the only team in the west that has a chance but right now they look inconsistent. Grizz are not going to win a series vs Suns.
So I'm hoping for Bucks out of all other realistic options. Don't want Nets to win and not really fan of Philly with Harden.
