Re: Who are your rooting for in this year's playoffs (ex-Raptors, Canadian Players)?
When the playoffs don't include the Raptors I am not for anyone. I am against the Lakers. I will tune in the last 5 minutes if there is a possibility they will lose. The sooner the Lakers are out the better for the integrity of the league.
My preference would be the Nuggets, not that I care all that much, but just because they are a small market league non-favourite team of whom the advertisers probably loathe.

I have money on BOS winning the chip, but I'm not actively rooting for them.
Other than that...I don't really have a horse in the race. OKC winning would be kinda cool. Wouldn't mind DEN too.
I think I'd rather a West team win, just cuz. And like most others here, I'd like to see PHI lose ASAP.

I cheer for the Knicks. Always loved them and especially this season with OG. I hope they beat Boston and win the championship.

Re: Who are your rooting for in this year's playoffs (ex-Raptors, Canadian Players)?
I can’t believe it has come to this, but I’m actually pulling for Philly. I never believed in Embiid as being truly great until earlier this year and now I feel actually kind of bad for him. Plus I want the Knicks to flame out and think they need Randle…plus Dolan is a complete ass and Kyle is on Philly too.
Out west, Denver losing would be kind of good for Bruce Brown trade value but I can’t think of another team I’d want to win. Maybe OKC but I want Shai to get rest ahead of the summer games. I don’t want Wolves to succeed for some reason, not sure why. Lakers, Clippers, Mavs are definitely not for me. So I guess I want Philly over Denver in the finals.

When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Pulling for Denver because of Jokic but also because of Murray as a Canadian boy and their overall play style.
SGA I would love to have a great postseason debut, but part of me wants the Thunder to get eliminated quickly so that Shai is rested and motivated before the Olympics.

But it would be nice for Murray to be rested as much as SGA. Not going to happen though, just have to hope all Canadians come through the playoffs healthy.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Obviously Knicks. I have to say it's nice to be caught up in a playoff run as a fan of a team.

I would like for Minny to win it all. I like how they play. If they can keep Gobert playable, they have a chance. I think it could have been a coaching issue in Utah, but we will see.
if not Minny, then , Denver
