Who will you be rooting for?

[jag]

I still don't know who i'm going to root for.

During the season i rooted for the Mavs to face rape the Heat. But this is a whole different ball game.

I don't really want to root for anyone but it's tough for me to sit and watch the games and not want someone to get bukkaked.

Decisions, decisions...

[picc84]

Someone will lose.

Take solace in that, I know I will.

[ElNono]

Neither, tbh... this is one of those series where if you're not a fan of either team, you can just sit back and enjoy the carnage... it's gonna be either Lebron or Dirk choking his chance to a ring... entertainment is assured.

I guess, it is a difficult choice for fans of the Spurs. I mean, it would be like the Clippers making it to the finasl (hold your laughter)...I wouldn't want to see them win one and trump the Lakers for that year, but I would feel sorry that the franchise that has been so moribound would ultimately lose on the grandest of stages. However, I hope that happens after Sterling stops ownership of the Clippers.

With that being said, I'd hate to hear/see/read about the obnoxious levels of praise the media would give the Heat if they do win. Blechhh...I hope there is a football season this year...

Here's my thinking:

The Heat are going to get rings regardless. Sonner or later it's going to happen. I can't stand the guy, but Bron is going to have 1 or multiple rings when it's all said and done. I don't see why it makes a difference if it's this season or next or the next...etc.

Dallas isn't destined to win rings the way Bron and Wade are. If it weren't for Dirk this would be an easy pick and I'd side with Miami. But even though i like Dirk, I still feel like the Mavs are destined to be ringless. Kind of like the Suns. Like it's just meant to be. I don't want the balance of the universe to be upset.

That's one of the main reasons I don't want the Heat to win. I wouldn't mind the media hyping Dirk if the Mavs won. I feel like he deserves it. But the Heat hype themselves enough already.

[Venti Quattro]

If the Heat won, okay, they've served their purpose. There isn't much spark in their ring. Not saying that they don't deserve it, because entitlement has no room in the NBA.

Dallas' championship would be more special and would have more extra DVD material.

I disagree. Bron will ring. maybe twice but that's all. the heat core is not OKC young so eeeaaaazy with the "rings" (plural) thing.

[The Gemini Method]

Yeah, I can't feel any animosity towards Dirk--he's been a quiet megastar in the L for a long time. The guy seems like a fun dude and can ball the hell out of the game. On the other hand, I can't say the same about anyone on the Heat with the exception of Wade. However, I think Dirk is much more humble. The one thing is: At least I don't have to stress over the Lakers possibly losing in the Finals since they got eviscerated in the 2nd round!

I'm going to miss, though, burning trash cans and getting a fresh new pair of kicks for non gratis...

Durant is a pussy

[jjktkk]

I got alot of respect for Dirk, great player, good guy, but I gotta pull for the Heat, just to see some of the Mav fans on here jump off the cliff.

[boutons_deux]

I'm rooting for Dirk and Jason, and why not Rick, too. When I've heard Rick interviewed, he always spoke articulate sense.

Collateral damage of Mavs win would be success for the melodramatic porker with bangs.

aka, $67M vs $91M

[TheManFromAcme]

Durant is a pussy

agreed

i am only referencing OKC and their youth and for Heat fan not to think they have a 3-5 year window to ring multiply cause that will be a pipe dream

[The Gemini Method]

Durant is a pussy

Doesn't mean he won't win a ring... (see: Gasol, Pau)

[VBM]

The Mavs are rivals...the Lebrons are not. It's gotta be Miami.

[Venti Quattro]

Doesn't mean he won't win a ring... (see: Gasol, Pau)

It all depends if he's going to get shipped to a top-tier guy who is an asshole

[Ghazi]

If your people can survive 8 and the Skunker we can survive a loss in the Finals..

[The Gemini Method]

lol @ Jason Terry and his Larry O'Brien tattoo...

He is probably the only Mav player I wouldn't care to see ring.

[jag]

I disagree. Bron will ring. maybe twice but that's all. the heat core is not OKC young so eeeaaaazy with the "rings" (plural) thing.

You know "twice" is plural right?

[Venti Quattro]

You know "twice" is plural right?

Can't LeBron win two rings?

[TheManFromAcme]

You know "twice" is plural right?


:wow i stand corrected. your right

but i am sure you got my point

[dirk4mvp]

lol @ Jason Terry and his Larry O'Brien tattoo...

He is probably the only Mav player I wouldn't care to see ring.

sorry but comments like this are off limits to fans who root for a team with Matt "I'm a faggot and let JET push my shit in" Barnes on the roster.

[jag]

:wow i stand corrected. your right

but i am sure you got my point

Yeah i get you. I think they'll probably end up with a couple

[The Gemini Method]

sorry but comments like this are off limits to fans who root for a team with Matt "I'm a faggot and let JET push my shit in" Barnes on the roster.

I'm not a Barnes fan, so I do not recognize your remark.

[dirk4mvp]

He's on your team, he's yours.

[Dex]

I'm gonna root against both teams and see how that works out.

[The Gemini Method]

And I'll chastize him for being a prick...that tattoo is just funny...and it'll look even funnier if your team manages to fall in the finals.

[The Gemini Method]

I'm gonna root against both teams and see how that works out.

This has got to be the first time both teams stadiums have the same sponsor.

Dallas plays in the American Airlines Center and the Heat play in the American Airlines Arena...

[Bill_Brasky]

Fuck the mavs. :)

[Mugen]

if JET broke his leg the night before the series started, it would make my decision a lot easier.

I actually like the Miami Big 3 but I'll pull for the German because he deserves it more.

[The Gemini Method]

That last statement sounds like it could've been made around, oh, circa 1938...

[024]

saw the espn article on terry's trophy tattoo. it's time to officially root against the mavs.

[picc84]

saw the espn article on terry's trophy tattoo. it's time to officially root against the mavs.

Yeah that might have done it for me.

[Budkin]

Dirk.

[TinTin]

Definitely the Heat but something about Bosh ringing makes my blood boil

On the other hand, Dirk deserves a ring and the Heat's window of oppurtunity is much bigger than Mavs

[Fpoonsie]

saw the espn article on terry's trophy tattoo. it's time to officially root against the mavs.

'Cause you didn't hate Terry before?

Is it any worse than LeBron guaranteeing 30 'chips right after the trade?

[Fpoonsie]

And I don't know why people keep saying they're going for Dirk 'cause he "deserves a ring." All that does is discredit what he's done thus far in the playoffs, which is deliver one of the the most legendary strings of performances in the playoffs that anyone's ever seen.

If you wanna root for Dirk, do it 'cause he's taking it to his opponents like a gas chamber in Auschwitz, not because he's "earned it over the years" or some shit.

[Trainwreck2100]

Its choosing between mav fan douchiness and lebrons hubris. I want lebron to crash and burn

[z0sa]

Wade's one of my favorite players. Main reason I'll be rooting for the Heat

[crc21209]

Not a difficult choice here. Sure Dirk is a great player and a good guy and all, but that's about it on that Dallas team. I can't root for Dallas period, or guys like Cuban, Terry, Stevenson, Marion, Butler, Chandler, and Haywood. And D-Wade is one of my favorite players also, so I'm pulling for the Heat here. Fuck the Mavs!

[SourCandy]

I'm gonna root against both teams and see how that works out.

:lol



I will be rooting for dirk and no one else on that team if that makes sense. Guy has given all he can give to that team. But loyalty does not guarantee rings. Like nono said either way it will be fun to watch.

[Muser]

Dallas, just because I want to see the meltdown a lot of Spurs fans would have.

[Josepatches_]

It's easy.I hate the Mavs and the Lakers....so Let's go heat.

Plus LeBron is one of my favourite players

Not a difficult choice for a Spurs fan

[windboy226]

Uh, you do realize they've already played once in 2006?

[024]

'Cause you didn't hate Terry before?

It's not because I hate Terry, it's because it would be hilarious when Terry loses. On the other hand, it would be equally funny to see the lebron haters cry when lebron wins a ring.

[z0sa]

On the other hand, it would be equally funny to see the lebron haters cry when lebron wins a ring.

Yeah, I'm seriously going to enjoy that, should it happen, especially from maverick fan fucks who had LeBron in maverick jerseys plastered all over their sigs/avatars before the Decision

[Rummpd]

Mavs 100% - they have fought through the pain of years of dissapointment to get there again and after rolling through Portland, Lakers and Thunder would be deserving champions. Heat will win a title or 2-4 before they are done and will probably add even more talent next year, but pulling for the Mavs.

[badfish22]

This is how I would look at it.
Its Lebron v. Dirk. Dirk is the one who decided to resign with his team last offseason and try to finish what he started. Lebron left like a bitch. Its really a battle of good vs. evil if you think about it tbh. What wins, loyalty or ring chasing?

[John Basedow]

Rooting for the Mavs, betting on the Heat.

[dunkman]

For Nowinsky . . .

[picc84]

Yeah, i'm pretty much settled on Mavs now. The story about Terry's tattoo turned it around for a while but then I thought about not 1 but 2...3...4...5 again and fuck that.

Plus there's always a chance Terry gets Bynum'd by Joel Anthony in game 1 and ends his season. :toast

[dirk4mvp]

Matt Barnes plays on your team :lol

[picc84]

Matt Barnes isn't playing a goddamn thing right now.

[Tp9gospursgo]

I'm rooting for the Mavs. I want Bron to cry.

[i MAke GOod POlls]

definitely the Mavs. For those calling Terry classless, what do you call LeBron? Mr. "It's gonna be too easy, we don't even need to play the games. We're gonna win 8 championships"

The Mavs as a whole seem like a much more likeable group. Even though Terry is arrogant, pretty much every championship team has somebody that will rub you the wrong way. That's what makes these teams so good is their edginess/confidence

Although I can totally understand spur fans not rooting for Dallas due to the rivalry

[mavsfan1000]

I'll definitely root for the Mavs.

[TampaDude]

I'm probably one of the few people on here who likes both Dirk and LeBron. That said, this may be Dirk's best, and possibly only, remaining chance to win a title, so I'd like to see him get it. I also want LeBron to win a title, but I know the Heat are almost guaranteed to ring a couple of times over the next several years...they're only going to get better.

Therefore, I will be rooting for the Mavs.

[BanditHiro]

It's easy.I hate the Mavs and the Lakers....so Let's go heat.

Plus LeBron is one of my favourite players

This...if the Heat win, it would be demoralizing to both fanbases, the mavs well because their team just lost and the Lakers (kobe fans) it will mark the end of the Kobe era as he will be exposed by the media when they start doing the LeBron vs Kobe comparisons.

[Giuseppe]

4 times, Heat. For Pappy.

[crc21209]

Different situations tbh. Dirk had a nice solid core with Kidd, Marion, Butler, Terry, etc. While LeBron had idiots like Mo Williams, Antawn Jamison, etc. All LeBron did by leaving Cleveland for Miami was basically admitting to the public that he desperately wants to win and he couldn't get it done in Cleveland, and that he needs help, so he left for Miami. Nothing wrong with that....

[ohmwrecker]

Aside from the Lakers getting a shot at the 3peat, a Mavs/Heat finals is a worse case scenario for me. It essentially boils down to Dirk, or LeBron . . .

I just can't stand to see that entitled, obnoxious prima donna jerkoff win anything, so I guess . . .

Go Mavs?

[Axe Murderer]

I'm probably one of the few people on here who likes both Dirk and LeBron.

Same here

For some reason I actually like LeBron more and more everytime I see him play. Maybe it's because I'm a sick bastard and the way he singlehandedly turned the Cavs into a shithole, without any remorse, is amusing to me. Who knows?

But yeah if Dallas wasn't in it I'd probably be rooting for the Heat against almost anybody

[dbestpro]

...........the end.

[DPG21920]

FTM at all cost.

so you will be fine with mark Cuban and Jason terry having a smug "I win" look huh....

:lol

[ohmwrecker]

:lol

No. I won't. It's just a bad deal all the way around. There are individual players I like on both teams, but, on the whole, I don't care for either franchise in general. I respect Dirk above everyone involved though.

[picc84]

so you will be fine with mark Cuban and Jason terry having a smug "I win" look huh....



No one's happy about this.

[Basketballgirl25]

I only like two players and those players are Dirk and Wade, the rest on both teams I hate. So I figure I'm just going to root for Dirk and Wade and hope those two play good and whatever team wins at least I see one good guy win. Now I do hate both Bosh and JET so if those two players got hurt it would make me happy

[Chieflion]

These 2 teams absolutely deserved to be in the finals. Overcame hurdles everyone thought they couldn't overcome and proved all the doubters wrong. Not gonna root for anyone and just want to watch some great basketball between these 2 excellent teams. Hopefully, it goes to 7.

Yes...it will be an epic series...6 or 7 games...I can't wait! :hat
