Now that the Raps miserable season is over and the playoffs have begun. Who are you rooting for to have success this post-season?

I'm cheering for the Nuggets but more for Jokic than anything (Jamal is a nice cherry on top) and SGA (for obvious reasons).

I'll forever be grateful to Kawhi but I can't root for the Clippers after they stalked KL the entire year he was here and Lowry is now attached to the hip with Embiid, which immediately disqualifies him.

I'm rooting for important Canadians to be booted early, so they can have a nice long rest before the Olympics.

Anyone that beats Boston will have my support.

Denver and OKC. Both built their teams the right way.

Why "but Nick Nurse?"

"Lowry and Nick Nurse, but Embiid" if anything.

Definitely not rooting for Philly though, lol.

I can't say I really have a rooting interest, although once each game starts I kind of know who I want to win. I will root against Boston (hate them the most), the Clippers (if Kawhi wanted another chip he should have stayed), and Phoenix (would be funny).

Easier to pick who I root against. Clippers and Sixers on top. Hope they flame out ASAP.

There are other teams (e.g. Phoenix) but those two are at the top of the list.

Minny and Ant-man. Fun player and good for the league when smaller markets actually become legitimate title contenders.

Knicks and OG. Knicks have had no love the last two decades so its like cheering for the underdog. Once Knick fans get cocky, that will change so fast, but for now its alright.

Sixers... just want to see them lose in every possible way. I would like to see Lowry out of Philly as soon as possible.

East: Knicks. Can’t stand Boston or Philly. Plus OG/Precious

West: OKC and SGA.

Will I watch any of the games? Not likely since the Leafs are in the playoffs at the moment and the weather is improving seemingly every day.
I believe in Masai.

Jamal Murray all day

And Jokic is just a bonus because he treats basketball as regular 9-5. The balkan indifference towards serious matters is funny af
