2nd favorite team?

Raptors - loved what BC did when he overhauled the team 2 yrs ago. Kind of fallen apart a bit but I'm hopeful for what he cooks up this offseason/draft.

I followed the Grizz for a bit, after they moved from here (Vancouver). Also J West was my childhood hero - I spent many hundred s of hours practiticng his jumper out on the schoolyard blacktop in the arain and snow.
Stromile was the last Grizzly to go and after he was traded this time I just lost interest. I hope Heisley chokes on something.

I always followed the Sonics as they were so close and I could listen to the games on radio and watch the local broadcasts ... don't think my geographical allegiance will extend to OKC.

I always loved the warriors, from the Nate T and Barry days through Mullins and then Nellie's return, but it looks like that team is going to be short-lived. I'd really like to see Pietrus here in orange and purple. Ellis wouldn't look bad in a Suns uni either.

So - I like the Blazers, interested in what they do next year. Big fan of Lamarcus and Rodriguez, and Fernandez may be coming. I thought they might be coming here once, but that didn't happen.

I just feel like the Suns are doomed. Shaq wanted to play with Nash and Amare but also wanted to play for Mike D. What does that mean now, in terms of his enthusiasm?
I really can't bear to watch any more quality picks dealt off on draft day. This franchise - the F.O. - has really soured me.
I've really come to believe that they know they will have another sold-out season so no need to make any real moves. meanwhile someone like Nash will play his guts out trying to win anyway.

Yeah I forgot about the Raps and BC. I do pull for them as well since I like to see BC do well.

Denver for me. A high octane team, when they're on it's great to watch. I've always been a huge JR Smith fan followed him his whole career and I've always enjoyed watching Melo except at times this season.

I'll watch the Cavaliers and Heat in the east. Cavaliers obviously because it's hard to not get excited when you watch LeBron play and Dwyane Wade is the main reason for the Heat but now that Shawn's there aswell I like them more.

I tell you what, if by chance the blazers do acquire Barbosa this offseason, that will just about cement them as my 2nd favourite team.

Barbosa + James Jones + Roy/ Aldridge/ Oden =

I've got a real feeling Shawn could end up in NY - they won't mind overpaying him.

I'll be watching the Knicks a lot this year anyway but that would make them my fave in the east. After the Raps ...

My second favorite team is Chicago. I have a ton of family up there. Let me tell you, there was a ton of smack going back and forth during the Suns/Bulls Finals. I lost on all bets made with my family....

...and on a side note, I am glad Mike D is not landing in Chicago.

I'm usually all for high paced teams but I do not like the nugz at all. I can't stand Melo and I dont like their approach to the game, they seem like they quit at times and put no effort on D. But at least they make us look good at D by comparison.

You won't find me pimping a second favorite team. Are there other teams I can find some entertainment in watching? Surely......but labeling them a "favorite" (whether second, third, or tenth for that matter) will not happen.

I would have to say the Warriors.
They have heart man...even surprised the hell out of me last season.

How are the Hornets not on this list? I guess there's a lot of newish Suns fans here. The KJ/CP3 comparison is obvious.

The Mavs option is in there just to keep track of how many retards there are surfing the board right?

Without the Suns, there's just no light.

Because of J. Kidd.

Kidd has actually always been 1 of my fave players, in his Suns days, his NJN days, and on Team USA.

But if him joining the Mavs wasn't enuf to make a Kidd fan like me develop a crush on Dallas I'm pretty sure almost everybody else will keep on hating em as well.
I also love how the Mavs been playin like crap ever since they picked him up, Jason still rules!

2nd favorite team?

Number Two Team?
