Who Will You Be Rooting for in the Playoffs? 

Post#1 » by Admiral-Kizaru » Sat Feb 29, 2020 9:10 pm

The playoffs is almost upon us. What team are you guys rooting for?

For me, as long as the Lakers, Clippers and Bucks Don't win I'm happy.

I don't mind the Bucks, I just hope Houston gets knocked out early.

I'll only really root for the Warriors. But teams that I wouldn't mind seeing nice runs (for various reasons):

Toronto, Indiana, Orlando, Denver, Utah, and Dallas.

That said, i think it'll be the Lakers and Bucks in the Finals... in which case I'll lean to the Bucks (obviously).

So you don't think theres a possibility that if Bucks lose, that Giannis may decide to ask for a trade? If theres no possibility for that then I'd be rooting for Bucks to win but if theres even a sliver of a chance, I want Bucks to lose. I actually don't hate Houston as much anymore with Chris Paul on the Thunder now.

Milwaukee

It's where my alma mater is, and in addition to Marquette games I would check out the Bucks every once in a while too... While Don Nelson was the coach. A few years later, I move to the Bay Area and who is coaching the Warriors? Ras Nelson. :lol:

If Giannis wins it all he won’t leave the Bucks. If he gets beat in the Finals by say the Lakers or the Clippers, there is a small chance for him to want to be traded because the Bucks won’t want to lose him for nothing.

This season sucks, so nobody


All I’m rooting for is some competitive games that get heated and build a rivalry so next year is more entertaining.

Too many faces switched teams so no matchups seem exciting to me.

Except OKC vs Rox. I’d love to see CP3 eliminate Harden and then go on to take an L the next round.

For me it’s Dallas, or anyone playing against the Rockets.

Indiana is my second favorite team, so I always root for them except when they play against the Warriors. It's odd that they look worse since Dipo's return, I hope they regain their balance before the playoff.
I also like Denver because Jokic is one of my favorite players.
Among the 3 teams that will likely win the title, Clippers, Lakers and Bucks, Milwaukee is the one that I dislike less.

Definitely don’t want Lakers, Clippers or Rockets winning it if we’re talking West teams.

For the East, I agree with not wanting the Bucks to do well since it could cause Giannis to think about his future.

However, if the Finals end up being Lakers/Bucks or Rockets/Bucks, I’m rooting for Milwaukee. :lol:

I wouldn’t mind seeing Dallas win the West. Always enjoyed Cuban on Shark Tank and thought he did a good job putting a competitor together. Really amazing how the Mavs were able to work a couple trades to get Doncic and KP. Plus I like some Mavs players, Seth being Stephs brother. Delon being Dorrells brother. THJ being the son of Tim Hardaway who was awesome. Dwight Powell player at Stanford. Boban is goofy in a good way. Actually always respected Barreas quickness, he is such a jitter bug.

Utah would probably be second. Conley has paid his dues. Ingles would be amazing on this team. Bogdanovic and Gobert compete hard.

The East, eh I don’t know. Guess I am okay with Indiana. Think Indiana has a good eye for talent.

If I'm going for an East team, I think I'll root for Miami. I'm a huge Eric Spoelstra fan, I think he coaches the right way, the team game and for all of his players to be double hard. Plus Iggy is there now and looking good, which I also find difficult to watch because I realise now just how much joy and winning he brought to the Warriors.

West - Dallas, or anyone playing Houston.
East - Miami.

1. Miami
2. Dallas

I just love the way those two teams play offensively

Anyone from the East but preferably Miami or Milwaukee out of the realistic options. If NO sneaks in then probably them.
