Prior to Aldridge's presence there, I could generally root for the Spurs without mental conflict. Always been a Duncan fan going back to his Wake Forest days.
Kinda. But I REALLY hated the Suns, so that was always a lose/lose for me. I also hated that Nets team that LAL beat in the Finals - Kidd/Kittles/KMart/Jefferson? Was that the year we should have been in the Finals? Man, the East SUCKED back then. My hate for PHX has been as long-standing as my hate for LAL.
The one team that I was actually rooting for was the Kings the year they got EPICALLY FUCKED OVER BY THE CROOKED NBA REFS vs the Lakers. Was that 2002? That was a fun team to watch, but the 2000-2002 rigged for LA NBA was two rungs below the WWF. Fuck David Stern.
I doubt anyone is capable of actually beating them over 7 games. I think some teams are capable of making it close in each game and we might be one of them at our best, but beating Warriors 4 times is a huge ask. The way Cavs have been playing this season, I doubt they can do this either. I know they usually treat regular season with a pinch of salt but 30+ losses is still bad.
The betting odds for GSW vs Portland are 26-1 I'm going to put a little bit down on portland on the off chance portland shocks the world.
That Nets team got swept by the Lakers and lost by 6 to the Spurs. And we got beat in first round both years.
Beat as in win or beat as in the shit out of? Because Nurkic's dad can easily beat the shit out of the Warriors.
Oh yea? i want to see you gamble on the Blazers against GS on a line with no spread, you'll make a killing!
Adam Silver is no fan favorite either. In fact, he appears alien. The most un athletic guy in charge of the best athletes. Stern looked like he ran a bagel shop in Queens. I would rather see Julius Erving run the show.
A reporter asked him what his prediction was and he said blazers in 6. Later Dame posted a tweet on facebook by someone, maybe another reporter saying; "what is he supposed to say Warriors in 4?" Dame just wrote "Right"
