Seattle sonics...


1. Seattle Super Sonics
2. Portland Trailblazers
3. Toronto Raptors


I hate the BULLS and Detriot Pistons.

2. Spurs (since the Admiral came into the league back in the '89).
3. Celtics (now that KG & Ray are there).

Next year the Blazers will be moving into the top three. Okra-crappo whatevers will move to the bottom.

I really liked watching the Blazers play earlier this year. They were incredible during that streak, but they have been pretty boring the last month or so. Besides Detroit, Boston and occasionally Orlando, I really hate watching the East play. The rest of the Eastern Conference teams, including Cleveland, are pretty bad and they way they play is just kind of boring. (Every once in a while, I suppose, teams like Washington, Toronto and Atlanta can pull off an entertaining game, but not enough for me to follow them.) As far as the West, it is really hard to rank. This year I really enjoy the watching the top-10 or so teams. Last year I liked the power houses (San Antonio, Dallas and Phoenix) a little bit more, but this year, I only enjoy them just as much as teams like New Orleans, Utah and Golden state. I always used to hate the San Antonio because they were kind of fundamental and boring, but the way Ginobili plays nowadays makes them as exciting as any team. Phoenix made a terrible trade for Shaq, but they are still one of the better teams to watch. Dallas has been kind of boring this year, but as of their last game it looks like they just threw away the play book and let Kidd run things. That was really exciting, good basketball. Though I cannot rank them, I should note that I New Orleans is really winning me over this year.

That's pretty much what i think about the Eeast. I somehow can't really get into that kind of basketball.

As far as other teams goes. I like some of them, but i've got the Clippers and Warriors as other teams, that i like.

The Seahawks and the Mariners.

None really. Sonics and then whatever game is on.

Det, well, you have to admit that Boston and Detroit play some pretty entertaining games. In the next tier in the East, Cleveland is terribly boring. Orlando is hot and cold. Some of the middle of the pack teams can be exciting every once and a while, as I mentioned, like Toronto and Atlanta, but not enough to try to watch the.

By contrast, I have seen a few LA Clipper games this season, and they have just been horrible games to watch. Why do you enjoy them? They had a few semi-entertaining games at the beginning of the season, but nothing in 2008. I think they could be interesting next year, however.

No one. My team is the Sonics...I don't root for anyone else.

Sure, I'll catch a Celtic game if they're on tv to watch Ray, or watch a game with other teams if it's interesting (even the Lakers) but I could care less of the outcome.

If the Sonics leave, I won't be watching any NBA Basketball. They've lost me as a fan.

1. Supersonics

Agreed.

I hate the rest of the NBA teams.

I'm a fan of the Sonics and the rest of the teams suck plain and simple.

I do really like to watch CP3 though.

2. New Orleans 3. Toronto

I concur with Catch . . . though the Mariners are a distant (yawn) third . . .

Yep. I could give two **** about any other NBA team.

It's not about the Clippers games, at least not the ones this season, but more about teams i like. I can't really get into the basketball the eastern conference is playing and even though Detroit is sometimes nice to watch, i'm not really into them.

I like the Clippers from those Brent Barry years or even when it was "hip to be a Clip" with Odom, Q Richardson and Miles playing there. I don't really know what it is, but i just like rooting for the underdog and that team is the ultimate underdog of this league. I'm also a big college hoops fan and i'm always interested how those highly touted college kids do in the league and 8 out of 10 years you're able to watch one of those kids play for the Clips, cause it seems like they're always in the lottery.

And yes, they should be really exciting next year. Just imagine them lucking out and having a shot at Derrick Rose. A lineup of Kaman, Brand, Maggette(if he stays), Mobley and Rose, with Thornton, Thomas and Livingston off the bench should be fun to watch.

Bobcats (hometown team now, still a distant second to my supes though)
Spurs (Tim Duncan, also loved the old twin towers duo)

EDIT: To clarify the reasons behind my love of the "twin towers", my friend and I are known as the "twin towers", both being 6'6 forwards for our team. ok so it may not be 7feet... but in high school a couple 6'6 kids playing the 3 and the 4 deserves a nickname does it not?

2. Blazers
3. Suns

Unlike many here that say they'll never watch the NBA if the supes leave, I'm all set to jump on the ROY bandwagon. Still hope I don't have to do that though...

2 - Atlanta Hawks (Salim 'the dream' Stoudamire)
3 - New Orleans Hornets - Chris Paul is a crafty defensive player - very fun to watch him steal inbounds passes

I cant stand the Warriors. So after the Sonics I would say no one. I used to live in Phoenix too and i can stand them more than anyone else but ever since they got Shaq and got rid of Marion they have gone down on my list. I will double those of you who said 2. Seahawks 3. Mariners

2. warriors
3. nuggets
