    This is so easy I can't believe it is even close.

    Miami, duh. If the Blazers don't win the championship I don't care who does as long as it is NOT the Lakers.

    Well, if you put a gun to my head ...






























    Then you had better pull the trigger, because if you don't I'm going to take that thing out of your hand, and kick your fucking teeth in.

    I don't have any hate for Miami. I have never like Lebron but never hated him either but after tonight I very much dislike him. It would be very hard to root for the Lakers but I would over any team Lebron is on. I hope he never wins a championship. Fuck Lebron!

    I don't have to root for a team in every game I watch.
    I don't have to watch a finals match without the Blazers.

    This brings me back to the 80's. Between Boston and LA. I ended up hating the defending champ just a little bit more than the other each year. So I switched every year or so. I hated the Laker players more, but the east coast sports writers at the time bugged the shit out of me too.

    I assume I would do the same. Or root for an early hurricane season.

    Kobe forced his way to the Lakers as an unproven HS kid. He cheated on his wife and put her through a public humiliation and people hate Lebron more for being a selfish 25 year old guy who thinks it would be fun to play with two great NBA players in Miami?

    REALLY?

    I know the tv show was a douche move, it really was.

    Who cares? They only play twice a year and neither will reach the Finals. I'm looking forward to a Boston-Portland Final next June.

    I would root for the Al Qaeda All Stars before I would root for either one of those teams.
