Off-Topic - Who you pulling for?

I'm a sucker for underdogs.. No matter how you slice it, Cleveland and OKC are underdogs this year. I personally would love to see either (especially OKC) beat the Warriors. How's everyone else feel about this year? I also feel we're a little reason LeBron has played inspired these playoffs.

It's a weird group of teams left for me. There's no clear team I want to win.
I like Toronto as I lived there for so long, but their fans are awful. They don't have a chance anyway.
I'm not a fan of okc after the reggie nonsense, but I wouldn't mind them winning.
Gsw were so dominant this year it would be kinda funny to see them lose. I wouldn't be mad if they won tho
I hate Cleveland and Lebron. That's the one team I don't want to win. Having said that, watching durant and Lebron go at it in the finals would be pretty insane.

Raps vs, OKC.
After that it doesn't matter who wins.

I can't get behind the Raptors. There's nobody on that team I really dislike, I just don't think they're good enough to REALLY deserve to be where they are. They pale in comparison to the other 3 teams remaining in this race. Good on them to make it as far as they did, but they aren't a horse I can back.

I want the Thunder. I've always liked and had a ton of respect for Russell Westbrook, and I like Durant too. Plus Adams just took a shot to the privates like a trooper. Go OKC!

I dislike the Cavs and yet also feel like the Raps haven't built a team that is worthy of making the finals... I also like the idea of OKC winning, but not if they can't beat the Cavs in the finals. My preferred champion would probably be OKC, but if they can't win it I'd be happy to see GS win it again. Don't want Lebron getting a ring again.

Agree with bstein - I want Lebron to lose in the Finals!

OKC. Would love to see them pull off the upset and beat Warriors. But then I'd fear that the Cavs would win the title in that situation.

I hate Lebron and the Cavs soo much. I just want them to lose badly.

Did anyone see that play last game where Lebron took like 3-4 slow steps with the ball gets fouled, stops, thinks about it, then tosses the ball in the basket and the ref's gift him an And-1. Absolutely disgusting how much the NBA and Refs want him and Cleveland to win.

Lebron to lose. But I think he's got it this year. Draymond will be rightly suspended for Game 4, which guarantees a OKC win and going up 3-1. We'll get OKC vs Cavs in the finals, with Cavs winning on experience in 6.

Laimbeer · Post #10 » by **Laimbeer** » Mon May 23, 2016 1:24 pm

Raps
GSW
Thunder
Cavs

Agree with wanting the Cavs to lose.

I'm not sure I agree that the Cavs have much more experience than the Thunder, this is the 4th conference finals appearance in the last 6 years for OKC and Durant / Westbrook / Ibaka have more Finals experience than Love & Kyrie. I wouldn't mind a 7 game OKC-Cavs series with Dion Waiters recreating the Ron Artest "No no no no YES!" three from the 2010 Finals to put the dagger in.

I'm rooting for all of them to destroy each other so we can trample atop their corpses and achieve everlasting NBA domination.

Post #13 » by **theBigLip** » Mon May 23, 2016 7:23 pm

LOL with all the Cavs hate and... let me pile on. Don't want to see the Cavs win. But this creates a dilemma, because I think it would be good for the Pistons to be able to say they were beat by the champ, but I guess I'll pass on that this year. I guess I would like them to go to 7 games and lose :-)

So that leaves OKC and GSW, probably my two favorite teams in the league besides the Pistons. Since I live in NorCal, I guess I'm leaning to GSW. I also think they can win it even if Draymond gets suspended (which I think will and should happen).

Han Solo · Post #14 » by **Han Solo** » Mon May 23, 2016 10:45 pm

Even if the Warriors go down 3-1, a 73 win team will not be beaten easy.

MrBigShot · Post #15 » by **MrBigShot** » Mon May 23, 2016 10:51 pm

OKC. Not rooting for the Cavs/Raps obviously, and then GSW is pretty hard to root for between Draymond Green body slamming and kicking people and how arrogant some of the Dubs fans on here are. A lot of them are quality posters too, of course.

DBC10 · Post #16 » by **DBC10** » Mon May 23, 2016 11:08 pm

Tired of seeing Lebron coast his way to the Finals. So definitely not the Cavs.

GSW was always my second team after HOU was for a couple years. So I want the Warriors to finish this season beautifully.

Han Solo · Post #17 » by **Han Solo** » Mon May 23, 2016 11:58 pm

Draymond didn't get suspended..

Everyone else gets the hammer, but not a Warrior. I don't care if he is from Michigan. Lame. If it were a Piston, he'd have been suspended.

Indifferent towards the Raps, but their fans would be insufferable.
I hope the Cavs get wrecked by whoever comes out of the West.
I enjoy watching GS more than OKC, but it would be cool to see Durant finally get there. Especially over LBJ.

Let's go thru the **** Draymond that punk has done this playoffs

- call a ref a pusssy asss bittch repeatedly (caught on cam)
- tell a ref to fcuk off (caught on cam)
- slapped a refs hand, made contact after being angry about a call
- body slammed Beasley after regulation
- elbowed another player i forgot who
- kicked Steven Adams in the nuts twice

No suspensions

I have never wanted a team to lose more than this year's Golden State Warriors

All the Warrior and Curry nut huggers are too much

Curry had a great season but is not even close to being the next MJ and his Warriors dont hold a candle to either 3 peat Bulls team

On top of everything else, Draymond Green is my most hated NBA player. He is such a pusssy and fake tough guy it's not even funny.

I want OKC v Cleveland with OKC winning

I hate all of them. I hope there's a massive blackout.
