With Clippers season over, who do you want to win? 

Post#1 » by DoctorS » Tue Mar 22, 2011 2:26 am

Now that the Clippers have been mathematically eliminated from the playoff race, who do you want to win it all?

I guess the Thunder :dontknow:
I've been an LA Clipper fan since 1998 and that will never change. I hate our new logo and jerseys!

Want to win: OKC, San Antonio, Lakers, Orlando.

Want to lose: Boston, Miami, Dallas.

The rest I'm indifferent to.
I really like 1840s merchant vessels. Basketball on the other hand, I can take it or leave it...

Either SA, Dallas or OKC to beat the Lakers.

Anybody to beat the Heat, hopefully before the Eastern Conf Finals.

No real favorite to win it all, maybe CHI or OKC.

Denver in the west and Knicks in the east.

From the ones who have a more realistic chance, Dallas in the west and Orlando in the east.

:vent: to those who want Spurs, Lakers or Celtics to win.

Want to win:
Boston(Ray Allen being a former Sonic), Atlanta or Chicago in the east and Denver, Dallas or San Antonio in the west

Want to lose:
The Plunder and Lakers in the west and Miami, New York(don't like "superstars" forcing their way some place) in the east

In the west, definitely OKC, I'm really rooting for them. I'm hoping Iblocka can set some sort of block record for the playoffs.

In the east, I don't know. I guess the Bulls, because Rose is the man.

Dallas or perhaps Memphis if they can maintain a playoff spot. I kinda have a soft spot for the Griz for some odd reason. :dontknow: I'd also like to see Dirk and Kidd get a ring.

I'd love to see a Boston/San Antonio finals. 2 deep teams with a ton of veteran experience. Both teams have great match-ups imo and it would be cool to see Duncan and Shaq battling each other for the 5th ring.

Aside from those 2, I want to see some new blood get a chance. I don't care to see another Celtics/Lakers finals. I don't have a specific team that I'm solely rooting for, but there are a few teams that I'm definitely not rooting for (that just so happen to have former Clippers on their teams). I just want to see some good basketball for the most part.

Not pulling for any of these teams though.

I give my vote to the Hornets. I am kind of surprised no one voted for them.
Here are the results:

7- Thunder (I am surprised how can people support for a team stolen from Seattle).
4- Bulls and Spurs.
3- Mavs.
2- Lakers, Magic, Nuggets, Celtics, Hawks.
1- NY, Grizzlies, Blazers, Heat, Hornets.
Sixers are the only playoff bound team with no votes.

Don't get me wrong, I hate how Seattle lost the Sonics and I think it was a disgrace what happened, but I'm rooting for the players/team, not so much their management/owner.

^This. I think most people here root for OKC because the team is full of young and exciting players who at the same time are in contention for a championship. If OKC wins, it validates the Clippers plan to become a championship team, i.e. get young talented players who have great chemistry. Right now the Clippers are missing one more main piece and/or two smaller pieces and depth. They also need to fire Del Negro but I think that will happen in short order.
