How about you root for the Blazers... Blazer fans root for the Blazers... don't root for other teams, worry about what Portland does, and not so much what anyone else does.
root for the suns to lose so kerr will make another desparation trade that makes them worse in the long run
I'd say root for Phoenix, I don't like Denver and they are in our division. We should root for Utah to lose every game too, not a fan of those guys
Why? We want the Blazers to be the most successful, therefore, we should root for teams that could help Blazers in the standings.
Why? Root for your team, and let all the other teams duke it out. Do you have some special "rooting force"? So when you root for Phx to beat Denver they magically do because of your powers? No. So let's just be Blazer fans! Don't wish misfortune on the other teams, wish fortune in the blazers! (well said, huh? )
We need a top 4 record to get homecourt. We gotta pass Phoenix to get that. Winning the division doesn't necessarily give you homecourt.
....I think I'll stick to wishing fortune on the Blazers as well as misfortunes to the other playoff teams.
Understood. Absolutely. BUT I'm an NBA fan and enjoy watching non-Blazers games. It's a big league with a lot of fun teams and a lot of fun games. Plus, I want to scout the teams. And watching a game isn't as fun if I'm not actually rooting for a team to win. Sometimes, if I have trouble, I root for the most exciting situation. Earlier, I rooted for Derrick Rose to make the game tying FTs even though I love Cleveland because I wanted to see a game winning shot from LeBron or an OT period.
Another example: sometimes I root for streaks. When Boston was winning, I wanted them to keep winning and break records. But when they started losing, I wanted them to keep losing because it was such a great story, the collapse of a champ.
Why? You want the Blazers to make the playoffs because the rest of the teams suck? (not saying they do, but based off what you've said you wouldn't mind if that was the case). If the Blazers won the Championship because all the other teams were .500 teams, that wouldn't be much of an accomplishment.
Don't care. If the Blazers win a championship that way, then so be it. Won't make any difference to me. I just want another championship.
Nah that'd be lame. And sense ESPN already has an east coast bias, they wouldn't consider the championship an accomplishment and would spend weeks and weeks debating whether they should be considered a legitimate team
