    Easiest vote ever.

    If the blazers aren't in it, stop watching. There's no reason.

    The Magic always seem to win game 1 then fizzle out.

    1. SAC eliminates Golden State — one and done. Pick to the Blazers. Not a fan of Kerr, et.al.
    2. New Orleans drops Lakers, Lakers lose to SAC, Lebron and AD and Lakers eliminated. F the Lakers.
    3. New Orleans swept in first round. Mediocre … basketball purgatory so long as CJ is there.
    4. Heat and Sixers 1st round and done vs. Boston and NY.
    5. Denver eliminated in 2nd round upset after beating CJ.
    6. Clippers eliminated in 1st round … a team full of “stars” who should NEVER win a title. I don’t mind Ballmer, but he’ll have to rebuild first.
    7. Still holding a grudge about OKC stealing our hated rival.

    Rooting for the Suns, since I live in AZ.

    I like 1-7
    But I can't stand KD, so unless they are playing the Lakers...... F them too.

    Fuck the Lakers, of course. I'm not a fan of Luka's ball dominance style of play so I'm hoping the Mavs don't make a deep run. Other then that I'm just wanting to see great hoops and not rooting for or against anyone though I expect the Nuggets to win it all again.

    But he’s not an ex Blazers. You’ve got to be rooting for an untouchable!

    No ex-Blazer will make the finals.

    So I am rooting for Franz Wagner to waffle stomp Denver for the ring.

    I'll root for Dame, but I don't think he'll get very far.

    I always bet 10k+ on whoever has the lowest odds to win it all…

    I always lose 10k+

    but that’s the team I’ll root for

    Care much less about the Bucks than I thought. I'm not for or against them, just indifferent. Kind of find them to be an old slow boring team, so probably would be more exciting to see another group. If they have exciting games maybe I change my mind, Giannis injury might be a death sentence to them though.

    OKC is exciting. West is actually very exciting in all series. Lakers/Pelicans/Warriors is a crazy amount of talent to be in playins.
