    sad to say I won't be rooting for anyone, but I'll be rooting against some teams...

    Pop is a lying SOB, so I'll root against SAS,
    Clay Bennett is a lying SOB, so I'll be rooting against OKC,
    LAL are all SOBs, so I'll be rooting against them.

    I kinda root for former Blazers and underdogs in general, though.

    I'm rooting for the Clippers. It's an entertaining team to watch. Chris Paul has never really had success in the playoffs.

    Memphis. Ever since they've gotten rid of Gay, they've been my favorite team besides the Blazers.

    Golden State will get bounced in the first or second round. They are all offense and that won't win shit. I am rooting for Memphis or SAS. I think either one of those teams can beat OKC and Miami. All the other teams are offensive and Miami and OKC will be much better at it.

    Jazz
    Nets
    Bulls
    Clippers
    Grizzlies

    Thunder
    Lakers
    Pacers

    He's made the second round twice. More than many can say.

    GS and Clips in the west.
    MIA in the east. (I actually like Bron and DWade)

    Warriors are 4th in the league in opponent FG%, if you can believe that (having watched the team all year, it really is hard to believe). Behind only Indy, OKC, and Mem, ahead of Miami, Chicago, Bos, SA, Denver. Also a top 7ish rebounding team.

    Outside of them I've been a big Memphis fan the last few years. Love watching great skilled bigs and they've got some very good ones. Big Tony Allen fan and some of my favorite moments in last years playoffs were end of game possessions with TA vs. CP3 in iso situations. Conley and Prince are likable too.

    I love watching Durant and Ibaka too. Would like to see OKC beat the Heat. Knicks are fun to watch with Melo and Chandler.

    Well now that my fun's over, let's go Spurs!

    It's funny, even our own team seemed to have too much respect for the Spurs. Gasol was even making sure Parker was okay after incidental contact, when the rest of the team was back on offense. I don't know if any of ya'll saw that, but it was definitely something I've never seen.

    I'm also going to be rooting for Indy in the ECF now, but there's just so much more to root for in SA's corner if it comes to an IND/SAS final.
