Bucks...(.lots of ex Blazers) and now Pelicans with CJ and Nance.....I've liked the Bucks in the east for a long time. Since Ray Allen and Michael Redd played for them at least. The shocker is that after watching the Kings beat the snot out of us I found I really liked watching that team play in a short sample size.
Our team has at least one fantastically entertaining player. Maybe two. But to answer your question, I guess the Cavs? They have great fans and some good up and coming players. But again, so do we. Don't give up yet. I'll let you know when.
My first loyalties are towards the Blazers. I like the Sixers as that is the default team for Jersey people.
Raptors are my back-up and favourite East team since I live near TO. As others have said, nice roster construction - length, defence and switch-ability. Masai knows what he’s doing. Like what I’ve seen of Nurse too. Love GTjr’s boldness and VanVleet is a great NBA success story. Honourable mention: Pelicans because I wish CJ success (just not against Blazers), and I think they’ll be fun to watch with Zion back.
The Kings could be fun this year. Mike Brown seems to have got them gelling. They were my second-fave team back in the L-Train days...
Well.... Since my job is to "take care" of all the visiting teams that come to Moda, I have an interesting perspective.. I actually like all the teams..except one...the Detroit Pistons....Not very well behaved. I remember wanting to ask Coach Casey how a class man like him has a team that behaves this way. The Memphis Grizzlies are a blast! Very cocky, loved working with them...Minnesota was fun...The Mavs and the Wizards were very nice..Loved JKidd... The Lakers are a pain to deal with, mainly because of you know who and all the attention he brings.... The teams, are all pretty cool, and actually easy for me to root for, and yes, I do find myself slappin' hands with the "enemy" on a nightly basis....
I can’t believe this I see we are already prepping for an exciting season. When the Blazers lose or don’t make the playoffs I still route for the East and often the underdog. Id route for Philly, Milwaukie
I’ve never had another team I always root for. There are players I love to watch, so it kinda changes. But I’ll record and watch every NOLA game for sure. I tune intro some Memphis games no doubt.
Same, really. But I loved them as a kid. David Robinson, Sean Elliott, Avery Johnson, Dennis Rodman, Tim Duncan mostly. But. If I had to root for a 2nd team it would be them. I love Giannis so I root for the Bucks.
