As per title.

I don't really have a favorite team at the moment. I'm kind of lost around this time of the season. I got no horse in the race. So I'm curious to know how everybody else feels.

The Mavericks. Luka is just so disgusting and it isn't fair. It's just amazing watching him play.

Bucks. If the Knicks don't win I want Dame and Giannis to get one.

Knicks to have a good showing. I thought had Randle been healthy they had a shot at the Finals. Now, I think they can make a run to the Conference Finals, but they just don't have enough to get to June. Still for a lot of their guys this playoffs is a huge chance to solidify themselves with Thibs and the front office. It will be interesting to see how they come out.

Let's Go Lakers

But In spirit of the thread

Let's go Mavs aka Luka
My Personal Top 10 all time
Jordan, Russell, Bird, Duncan, Magic, Kobe, Curry, Shaq, Kareem, Bron

Top 5 will always be the same, 6-10 will change from time to time :)

Knicks because of Brunson and Sacramento (they were my favorite team in mid 2000 together with Mavs so it's a obvious choice).

The Thunder are young & really likeable. I would like to see them have some success.

Sacramento went through so much before finally breaking through last year, wouldn't mind seeing them make a deep run.

Dallas. Luka mainly. i think he's a true blue GOAT type player and this is the year he'll make that jump (from star to superduperstar)

I want Luka to get it done, so I don't have to worry about him wasting his career without winning a championship

I always root for great players who haven't yet won a title if my team isn't in it anymore. So rooting for Dončić, Embiid, etc. I also like OKC's young core.
