Rooting for OKC and Miami to make the finals and rooting for Miami to take it

Hate the Spurs and the Celtics. With the Spurs though, what a difference a coach makes. M. Brown should watch and learn something

I really hope okc becomes another early 2000s Sacramento Kings or Portland trailblazers. Teams that had a lot of championship potential but never got realized and then later got dismantled into another regime.

I've heard it through the grapevine..NBA gods have already designated Los Angeles LAKERS as NBA Champions in near future. The destiny is real. TRUST ME.

Pulling for the Spurs since they are great to watch, couldn't say that in years past. Also I can't stand any of the other remaining teams..

perfect scenario:

Miami > Boston 4-1
SAS > okc 4-1

SAS > Miami 4-2

01 Lakers keep playoff record
LAL signs Garnett from Boston somehow
Miami trades away one of the Big 3 (Lebron still chases ring for another year)
Duncan retires rides off into sunset
okc dismantles into obscurity

:wink:

Duncan already said he's re-signing with the Spurs though, so he's not retiring. I hope the Spurs do win mind you...

Can't remember the last time that the last 4 teams left were this unlikable to a Laker fan. I had nothing against the Mavs last year and I actually rooted for them after we lost. Now it's not like that at all. Personally I want the Spurs to win, because they play ball the right way and I have respect for their big three and Pop. Still, it disgusts me to see them get their 5th tying us for the most titles Post-Jordan. I don't want the Celtics to win for obvious reasons. I don't want the Heat to win because I don't want to see their big three rewarded for teaming up together. I don't want the Thunder to win because of their Unearned arrogance/Perkins. So basically it's not that I want the Spurs to win more than the other teams, I just want them to lose less than I want the other teams to lose. Honestly the Celtics are just a solid team that has made the final four because of lucky circumstances, and even if they manage to get past the Heat somehow they aren't doing anything in the finals. I feel like the other three teams are on another level. Watching Lebron losing in the finals again will bring some joy to me though
