I'd have to say the Spurs, Warriors and now the Mavs too.

I only care about Orlando, but there are teams I'd rather win more than others if Orlando is out of the picture. It's really more rooting against other teams. But I enjoy watching the Warriors, Thunder, Clippers, Pelicans.

I'm not a fan of the NBA as a whole, but I love the game of basketball and have been an avid supporter of the Magic since the inaugural season. If Orlando ever lost our team, I wouldn't watch the league anymore.

Magic #1 and the only team I root for. I like watching former Gators and former Magic players. Being in the DC area, I'm kind of becoming a closet Wizards fan with Bradley Beal and Marcin Gortat. (and Ariza last year) But for me it's all Magic all the time that I root for.

Good question. I will always be a die hard Magic fan but there are other teams I'm interested in seeing.

1. San Antonio -They are a thing of beauty in how they play and I want to see them win one more before Duncan Ret.

2. Clippers - I'm a fan of JJ & Doc and it will be interesting to see how they can progress. Back-up pg is a concern for me.

3. Detroit - I'm a Michigan Native and think Stan is a great coach. He is the epitome of the lunchbox worker that Michigan fan's will appreciate. It will be interesting to see what he can do with that team and if he can solve the Josh Smith/Greg Monroe quandary. Additionally, can he turn Brandon Jennings into a quality point guard?

4. Dallas - Moving here from Orlando I couldn't identify with them. They do have a great coach and really gave San Antonio a tough time in the playoffs. Now that Jameer(who may even be the starter) is here, Tyson C is back and the signing of Parsons, they could be a really good team once they learn how to play with each other.

5. Cleveland - It will be interesting to see how Dave Blatt can coach with one the best starting 5's in the league. They have a lot of talent on that team and if they figure it out they are going to be tough to beat.

This is going to be a fun year to watch basketball. I hope that injuries don't hurt these teams too much.

Well to flip the script, I want nothing but agony for the Rockets because of,

1. Howard of course.
2. Harden playing for the whistle.
3. Clyde Drexler horrible commentary.

I don't really follow other teams just certain players. Dwight, Redick, Steph Curry, and others. However I will cheer for any loosing team that tries to play and not give up.

Go Magic, Go Dwight, Go Vuc, Go Paolo, Go Keegan :)

I only root for one team.

I might watch others but there is no interest from a rooting standpoint, but I will root against teams.
Basketball is driven by three principles:

1) Movement 2) Application of fundamentals 3) Predictability
