Obviously the Jazz are everybody's #1 team here. But when you watch the playoffs now, who will you find yourself cheering for and why?

not one team in the east? WTF? I would rather have the cavs, magic, bulls, hawks, heat win then anyone in the west although i'll cheer the rockets against the lakers because i hate LA with a passion.

agreed. For some reason as much as I hate Kobe, Lebron doesn't bother me at all.

Cavs too.
However, if Lakers don't win, I'm fine.

LeBron to me is just as arrogant as Kobe, he just doesn't show it. I would love to see Hawks/Bulls/Magic. As for the West, the only team I could cheer for is the Mavs. Lakers/Rockets/Nuggets... All of those teams I LOOOOOOOOOVE to hate.

In the East, I root for the Magic. I just wouldn't want to see Cavs or Celtics making it to the finals.
In the West, definitely Mavs. I've always liked Dirk and I hope he and his team can redeem themselves after their big disappointments of the past. Plus, I could never even imagine myself rooting for the Lakers, the Rockets or the Nuggets...

Yeah, in the West, nobody. I don't like any of those teams. Although seeing the Rockets win it without T-Mac would at least be kind of funny.

In the East, definitely the Hawks, although I don't really give them any shot. Would be okay with the Cavs winning. Then anybody-but-the-Celtics. Those guys need to be taken down a peg or 20.

I am rooting for Boston, Ray Allen has always been my favorite player and I would love to see him get another championship.

Bulls
then probably the Cavaliers

and I'm not a Lakers fan by any means, but I'd like to see Shannon Brown continue to do well - - but the Lakers still lose

in the west, maybe the Nuggets with Billups, I've always liked him

You need to add an "All of Them" option for Duiz.

any eastern team. lebron or the bulls would be nice

Bulls and Hawks in the East. But since they dont have a shot (Bull have just lost their series), I am rooting for The Cavs. I am a Lebron fan.

in the West... well, I dont like any of them, I am a Kobe Bryant fan, but I dont think I can root for The Lakers in the finals. So, may be The Mavs.

Regards,

Cavs since they're the only team that can beat LA. Mavs in the west.

Yup. Lebron all the way.

Honestly haven't seen a game since, just killed my spirit. I really wish the Jazz hadn't made the playoffs, then I'd probably follow it some, and I'd have something to look forward to, the lottery.

I think only 3 teams have a real shot, Cleveland, LA and Denver. Of those teams, I prefer Cleveland. I'd cringe at seeing Kenyon Martin hugging that title, though I don't mind the majority of the Nuggets.

I don't hate LA, they're a flat out better team. I really overlooked how good Gasol is. For now I'd have to put him 2nd to Dirk. Kobe is obviously still great. Ariza is a steal, between him and Gasol, it's like the league wants the Lakers to reign again lol. Odom is spectacular off the bench, maybe the real 6th player, though that award is really BS in his case, due to his minutes, and he should start over Bynum. They have a ton of scrappy role players too. Then there is the fact that the Lakers have 14 NBA champs, and an NBL champ, what does one more do to the cities and fans, besides bragging rights?

Cleveland on the other hand, has no titles, has well overachieved with their team. Lebron is a magnificent player. I've been saying for two years that he's the best player in the league, and what way to solidify his reign on the league than to win a title. I think he's possibly too damn deserving of the title.

Anyone but the Lakers. The Cavs probably have the best shot of beating them so I guess that would be my #1 choice right now.

#1 - I'll be rooting for the Lakers to lose.

#2 - I'll be rooting for the Nuggets to lose.

I could care less who wins, as long as it ain't either of those fugwad teams.
