I don't expect the Blazers to win a lot, but thats never stopped me from watching before including the last few hopeless seasons. I'm really looking forward to seeing the young guys flash even though I'm expecting them to struggle overall. I get the pass and acclimate to the league checking out teams/players for my fantasy league interests. There are so many intriguing situations right now I'm geeked out like a kid on Christmas eve. I root for Portland but like all the other teams unless they play boring hero ball (Mavs) or are the Lakers. STOMP
That's why we watch our favorite college basketball team. But no I have to go with MM on this, I may root for a player on another team, and I may root for a playoff series to go 7, but I generally enjoy the playoffs by rooting for teams like the Lakers...... to lose. Never for another another city to win. Fuck them all.
Harlem Globetrotters! First team I ever saw live as a kid (the Meadow Lark Lemon team). I try to see them when they come through Eugene still.
We're all supposed to say Seahawks to make Jody Allen happy. Of course, dancing around in spandex undies while collecting rare animal bones might also get you in the Vulcan VIP club.
I'll hate the Warriors the most, sick of their smug attitude and cockiness even before the last year. Add the GPII trade badmouthing, and owning their pick and it'll be fun to root against them. Wouldn't be surprised if they contend or miss the playin. #2 team to root against is Miami, fuck them, their entitled fans, and delusional media. Always root against the Lakers. I don't like Irving and will root against Dallas. Will root against Bridges and Ja. I'll be rooting for OKC, love the patient rebuild they've done. Bucks too, always have liked Giannis, they're small market underdog mentality. Very eager to watch Wemby but I wouldn't consider myself a Spurs fan. I like watching Jovic and Denver so may root for them. I follow the whole league pretty closely and like to see who steps up, sometimes find myself randomly rooting for or against various teams. Right now I'm pretty indifferent to the rest of the league.
Now that I live near Boston, and my kids are growing up here, it’s going to be hard not to have them as my backup team. Will also be watching Dame on the Bucks.
Really? It seems like living among Boston fans you would hate them even more. In every city I have ever moved to I ended up hating the home teams because of their annoying fans....and no fan base is more obnoxious than Boston fans. I must admit though I used to root for the Red Socks....until they won it all.
Ha, as long as I avoid Boston sports radio, the everyday Celtics fans seem fine. And I don’t care about the other sports. I also live an hour north up on the coast, so it’s probably less intense.
I spent 10 days touring NE with my wife one fall. None of it was actually in Boston. The Pats, Bruins, Celtics, and Socks were all playing. (Socks vs Dodgers in the WS) I needed a translator to understand what the hell they were saying in the various sports bars. It was like I was in a foreign country with that thick accent of theirs. Luckily I was rooting for the Dodgers to lose so I felt safe.
Spurs Spurs Spurs Bucks, I guess OKC/Chet Knicks, I guess, since I live here Also- whatever team is playing Miami. Oh, rooting for Suns to lose too. Sorry Nurk
Outside of the Blazers for the NBA and NOT saying Bucks as a huge Dame fan that is a given -- I would say Spurs for Wemby Also if you say Lakers your not a Blazer fan --- LOL -- kidding ( kind of )
