What team are you pulling for at this point?

[Dancelot]

Now that the spurs are gone I guess I’m kind of pulling for the Guests out west. I would say Denver but as the series went on I became pretty annoyed with Malone and Murray, I got nothing against the rest of the team but their coach complaining about the refs pissed me off so fuck em.
Out east probably Milwaukee or Philadelphia...or Boston. Basically anyone but the nephew, kinda have a feeling they will make the finals though.

[Spurtacular]

Rockets
Blazers
Celtics
Raptors

[Strike]

Portland in the West, not Toronto in the East.

[gambit1990]

#1) rockets (cp3 fan)
...
#6) 6ers
#7) celtics
#8) warriors

[BillMc]

Anyone but Nephew or Warriors. And if I had to choose one of the 2, It'd be Warriors. (Though it would make me sick).

[SPURt]

Coach Bud and the Bucks. I would be ok with the Sixers too. Everyone else, not so much.

[Dancelot]

Anyone but Nephew or Warriors. And if I had to choose one of the 2, It'd be Warriors. (Though it would make me sick).
Same. Feels fucking weird.

[james evans]

I don’t have a problem with any team really. I guess I’d want the raptors to win to show the world how fuckin dumb of a trade we gifted to them. Someone must be held responsible

[slick'81]

Nobody

[UnWantedTheory]

Bucks

[spurs10]

Anyone but Nephew or Warriors. And if I had to choose one of the 2, It'd be Warriors. (Though it would make me sick). Exactly!

[apalisoc_9]

Kawhi just so we can have more spurstalk material.

[heyheymymy]

Oh I'm watching hockey, fuck the NBA

[pookenstein]

1. Celtics
2. Denver
3. Bucks
4. Portland
5. Raps
6. Philly
7. GSW
8. Rockets

Preferrably Harden gets so annoyed by non calls, that he decides to put on a suicide west and blow shit up literally. Victims: KD, Harden, Donkey and Pringles. CP3 flops is way out of the death zone.

[Brazil]

I dont care as long as Kiwi does not ring

[Slippy]

Sixers

[RD2191]

Raptors. Wearing my Kawhi Raptors Jersey as I type this. :wakeup

[birdy219]

Anyone but the Warriors.....sick to death of them..... I find myself pulling for Danny and Kawhi. Can’t help myself, I see them as Spurs

[MultiTroll]

Anyone but Warriors and Rockets.

[CitizenDwayne]

Philly

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Is a surprise lockout too much to ask for right now?

[ZeusWillJudge]

Anyone but Nephew or Warriors. And if I had to choose one of the 2, It'd be Warriors. (Though it would make me sick).


This. But mostly just get it over with and get to the draft.

[TheGoatishere]

Sixers

[CapitalEmm]

Raptors just because of the inevitable shitstorm when Kawhi gets another ring while we’re over here getting a first round exit with DDR, LMA, Mills and Marco

[GusT15]

So people are basically admitting of rooting for the Raptors just so they can come in here and troll other Spur fans who would be even more heartbroken and pissed off at the whole #2 situation?

[exstatic]

2020 Spurs

[SpursforSix]

I don’t have a problem with any team really. I guess I’d want the raptors to win to show the world how fuckin dumb of a trade we gifted to them. Someone must be held responsible

Unfortunately, your scenario rewards the fucker who's responsible with a ring.

[baseline bum]

Anyone but Houston after seeing Harden's jump five feet forward to try to get the foul call act.

[Spurs da champs]

Anybody but GS, tbh. I wouldn't mind the Bucks or 76ers chipping in particular.

[mudyez]

1. Bucks
2. 76ers
3. Celtics
4. Blazers
5. Nuggets
6. Raptors
7. Rockets
8. Dubs

...but I don't care very much anymore.

[JeffDuncan]

I like the Bucks because Coach Bud is a walking emoji. His facial expressions are always entertaining.

[Dex]

Anyone but Nephew or Warriors. And if I had to choose one of the 2, It'd be Warriors. (Though it would make me sick).

Same. I'll be pretty bitter if Kawhi gets another ring out of the stunt he pulled.

At least if the Warriors win, it will be exactly what everyone expected at the start of the season.

[Proxy]

Bucks
Guests
GS
Tor
DEN
Celtics
Sixers
Rockets

rather GS just win convincingly and have them break up

[ZeusWillJudge]

Anyone but Houston after seeing Harden's jump five feet forward to try to get the foul call act.


I can't stand Hardon, but that's not exactly where I would draw the line. That's "Today's NBA". The league allows that shit. He'd be a damn fool not to get his share.

Hell, I'll root against him just because of the stupid beard. :lol

[KDKSpurs24]

Portland in the West. As for the east.. Kawhi got a lot of criticism (from outside fans) as a player when he was here and they were talking about how overrated he was. I wanted a lot of people to know how great he was back then. Combine that with the fact that I absolutely hate being wrong, i’d want him to just go ahead and lead them to the finals to prove those people wrong.

I know I’ll get some hate for that but that’s just a personal reason. I’ve barely been watching basketball since game 7..

[R. DeMurre]

Bucks or Nuggets would be nice to shake up the league. I like the way both teams are constructed and the way Giannis and Jokic have consistently grown as players the last few seasons. Rooting against Toronto for obvious reasons, against Philly because I don't want The Process rewarded, and against Houston for CP3's flopping/complaining and Harden's career long disinterest in defense.

[sasaint]

Go, Bucks, Go! Quickly, please. Then on to the draft and off-season.

[SpursDynasty85]

Nuggets so I can feel at least Spurs had a more decent shot this year and have hopes of maybe contending next year (dark horse).

[BlackAndWhite]

I want the Sixers. I live in Philly so it would be nice for a hometown team to go to the finals although my loyalty is 100% to the spurs

[cd98]

Toronto, tbh. The Raptors need something to show for this year when Kawhi leaves for the Clippers this summer.

[TDomination]

The teams playing the Raptors and Warriors.

[koriwhat]

none of them. fuck them all!

[GreekSpursfan]

Some would think i'm rooting for the Bucks since Giannis plays with them and Bud is the coach but no. I don't give a fuck tbh. I lied, anyone but nephew and Harden. I can't stand Harden's play and nephew...yeah.

[rjv]

not really 'rooting' for anyone, but i'll take any team but toronto in the east and any team but the rockets and the warriors in the west.

[sammy]

Now that the spurs are gone I guess I’m kind of pulling for the Guests out west. I would say Denver but as the series went on I became pretty annoyed with Malone and Murray, I got nothing against the rest of the team but their coach complaining about the refs pissed me off so fuck em.
Out east probably Milwaukee or Philadelphia...or Boston. Basically anyone but the nephew, kinda have a feeling they will make the finals though.

Blazers
Rockets (hate Harden)

Hate Denver! Murray and their whiny bitch coach Malone


East:
Milwaukee or Philadelphia
I want Toronto to lose after he who shall not be named was gone from the Spurs! Sorry Danny!

[John B]

I hate freaking D’Antoni, also flopping Harden. But I guess Houston. Just keep in the neighborhood, then Bucks because of Bud, Philly for Brown. Both cities haven’t won in ages. Blazers. Not Raps. That’s an insult to the Spurs organization for sending him there. But never Dubs.

[Poolboy5623]

Toronto or Milwaukee...the only 2 teams with HCA vs GS... and the only two teams I would watch in the finals. Maybe Boston but I don't think they can hang with GS.

[superbigtime]

Milwaukee and Denver

[Trill Clinton]

none of them. Spurs or die tbh

[KimmyGib]

All I want is to see the Warriors lose and their team break up. Nothing else.

[peacemaker885]

Not the Rockets or the Raptors (nephew) for sure. The rest are cool to me.

[urunobili]

Portland, Milwaukee, and Boston

[Rosewood]

Bucks>6ers>Blazers>Celtics>Nuggets>>Rockets>>>>>>Warriors>>>>>>>>>>>>Raptors

[r0drig0lac]

Nets (Sean Marks)
Clippers (Jerry West)

[tim_duncan_fan]

Only the Guest Team in the West.

[alpha_HaZE]

Bucks --coach Bud and Yiannis!
Nuggets --I like the way they play, too bad they are not healthy against the Blazers
Raptors --I still enjoy watching Kawhi play. But, I wont lie, I smile when they lose :)

[offset formation]

Anyone but Nephew or Warriors. And if I had to choose one of the 2, It'd be Warriors. (Though it would make me sick).

Identical to my view.

[jehawk81]

You’re a fucking idiot. You think that’s the trade they “wanted” to make?? Dumbass.

[james evans]

You’re a fucking idiot. You think that’s the trade they “wanted” to make?? Dumbass.
Obviously it is the trade they wanted to make if they made it lol. Someone’s mad today haha. Shut yo dumbass up and continue to cry for the next 10 years about it. I’m over it. It’s just sports. Life goes on. Y’all crying about the spurs having 2 years not being contenders, at least we saw them win 5 in our lifetime. Try being an ECU(where I have my degrees from) and Georgetown fan. Georgetown hasn’t won a goddamn NCAA title since I was a fucking kid in 84 and ECU men has only been to the tournament once in my fucking life(when I was in high school in 93). So our little slump in San Antonio doesn’t bother me. I’m used to cheering for basketball teams that are mediocre

[florige]

Probably Portland. But I can't in reality see anyone beating GS 4 times unless one of their big 3 gets injured.

[Capt Bringdown]

Anyone who can defeat GS.

[timvp]

Warriors, tbh.

1) Post Durant, the Warriors should win so it's not too notable or impressive when they do.
2) Don't want another team gaining championship experience.
3) Another championship probably makes it easier for Durant to leave.



I don't want the Rockets or Raptors to win for obvious reasons. Especially the Rockets. FTR.

[DAF86]

1) Denver (I like Jokic and them winning it all after we took them to 7 would be my mediocre "win").
2) Bucks (I like coach Bud and Giannis).
3) Celtics (just because Laker fans would hate it).
4) Sixers (Brown, Emdiid and Simmons).
5) Blazers (meh)
6) Warriors (lesser of three evils).
7) Rockets.
8) Fuck Kawhi.

[vavvi]

Bucks
Sixers
Celtics

Same order.
But with a big gap between the Bucks and everyone else

[R. DeMurre]

:lol Paul Pierce said the series was "over" after the Celts won game one against the Bucks.

[dbreiden83080]

Sixers and Bucks..

Going to be a great ECF if they both make it..

[dbreiden83080]

Anyone but Kawhi. For the rest of my life.

Yeah he bows out quietly here to Philly and that stock plummets. Misses 20 plus games, and gets the Raps nowhere..

[tmtcsc]

Nuggets. Joker is great to watch.

Yeah you are a fucking stupid ass. Do you fucking read? Are you aware that no one would give us any more? This was THE best deal we could get. You’re a god damn idiot. Just kill your account and leave. Fucking stupid dumb ass mother fucker.

[Rummpd]

Blazers and Houston then Blazers shocking Houston. Then Bucks win all i historic low ratings series but I will watch

[cjw]

Last minute work trip to Houston with tickets for the game, and honestly have no idea whom I’m cheering for or against. Probably Houston just so we get a longer series and Curry has more opportunities to turn his ankle, or Draymond has more opportunities to punch a teammate.

In the west, it’s Portland, Denver, then I dunno. Probably prefer Golden State because nobody will care if they win another as long as Durant is there.

In the east, it’s Milwaukee, Toronto, Philly, then Boston. Milwaukee and Toronto built their teams organically, while Philly tanked for years and Boston was playing NBA 2K GM mode and found a few stupid GMs to rip off to manufacture their roster.

[james evans]

Yeah you are a fucking stupid ass. Do you fucking read? Are you aware that no one would give us any more? This was THE best deal we could get. You’re a god damn idiot. Just kill your account and leave. Fucking stupid dumb ass mother fucker.

Please tell me how Kawhi for DeRozan is not a rip off?

[cjw]

Please tell me how Kawhi for DeRozan is not a rip off?

It was. But was there a better offer out there? Maybe the do nothing was best in retrospect. The Celtics, meanwhile, ripped off teams that could have done much better things with those pieces.

Raptors generally drafted well and developed their own assets, and turned a guy at peak value in DDR (coming off second team All NBA) into a top three player.


Maybe Spurs could have held pat and seen if Kawhi played this year. If he had played, they’d possibly be in round 2 right now. Gasol would be playing the Poeltl role and Green would have taken useless Marco/Mills minutes. If Green/Leonard had walked, cap space would have still been minimal if any because of the stupid Mills/Gasol deals.

Going into offseason, they would be short one pick (29, so not good value), and one cheap Poeltl year. Derozan is a neutral ... overpriced but not an albatross like Wall/Westbrook/etc.

[Brazil]

1) Denver (I like Jokic and them winning it all after we took them to 7 would be my mediocre "win").
2) Bucks (I like coach Bud and Giannis).

spot on.. I liked the celtics touch :lol

[BD24]

Anyone but the warriors tbh

[Gibbz]

Denver in the West, Milwaukee in the East. I'm fine with anyone other than Toronto, Golden State, or Boston, though.

[daslicer]

shut up bitch and leave your house for a day or 2. Get your fat ass from away from the tv and internet and your hypertension may drop. Grown men losing their shit online over basketball :lmao

:lol Just like you were losing your shit last year when you kept on crying about #2 being a slave under the Spurs. You are by far one of the stupidest posters on ST and that's hard to do. I have to admit I do enjoy the comedy you provide with your ridiculous takes.

[GreekSpursfan]

Ok, i said before i didn't care and even though being from Greece i should be rooting for Giannis, Bud and the Bucks i'm going with Portland(a little late because they are about to go home probably but i hope they won't) and the reason is that Portland is the definition of a cursed team. B.Roy, Greg Oden and now Nurkic, how much more unlucky can they be? That franchise and fan base deserves a little success and a few smiles tbh.

[bdictjames]

Hate to say it but the Raps. They're playing great basketball now, and I hate them less than the Warriors. Would love to see reactions if Kawhi wins the 'ship. Maybe I'm just a masochist, haha.

[cutewizard]

Goooooooooooooo BUCKS GO!!!!!!!!!!

[cutewizard]

:bobo

[UncleDennis]

Raptors just because of the inevitable shitstorm when Kawhi gets another ring while we’re over here getting a first round exit with DDR, LMA, Mills and Marco

Yeah that is end of the world type stuff.

Watching him play like Jordan Jr. out there I feel pretty confident he will ring again eventually, and I think deep down most of the other users on here think so too... So whether this year, next year, 2 years from now, w/e, Lebron's not getting any younger, the Warriors can't go on forever. Just get it over with already, but the golden question is does a ring keep him away in the east a little longer or will him Beverly, Harrel, etc be tapping out the Derozan-Spurs non stop for years to come no matter what happens.

[james evans]

:lol Just like you were losing your shit last year when you kept on crying about #2 being a slave under the Spurs. You are by far one of the stupidest posters on ST and that's hard to do. I have to admit I do enjoy the comedy you provide with your ridiculous takes.
I never lost shit, I just stated my piece and moved on. Words online from people like you never hurt me. You say what you like and I do the same. It's a free country right? And if I'm one of the stupidest posters and you are constantly trying to have conversations with me and seeking my attention by quoting me for a response, then what does that make you? Because I know for a fact, I don't talk to stupid people, seek their attention, or even respond to them. I don't think you're stupid because I actually acknowledge you. If I did, I wouldn't even read your posts. So why are you seeking attention from the unintelligent?

[slick'81]

Just some success for bud would be kool

[FutureMan]

First and foremost anyone other than the Warriors. Anything to break up that team.

The Raptors are tough since the only way Kawhi would stay there (and in the east) would be with a championship. So I don’t quite get the opinions on here... you would rather the raptors lose? So he can join the Clippers, have us play him 4 times a year instead of 2, and have another team surpass us in seeding for the playoffs?

[Capt Bringdown]

Denver seems to be getting better. Jokic is a sensation.

[HarlemHeat37]

Milwaukee for financial reasons, I've taken them at every value number throughout the season:lol

As long as the Rockets don't win, though..I'd rather not see Durant get another ring, too, but I'd go with them over Houston..

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Anyone but Houston/Golden State/Kawhitters. Unfortunately, it is almost a guarantee that one of those teams makes the Finals and will be the favorites.

[GusT15]

Milwaukee for financial reasons, I've taken them at every value number throughout the season:lol

As long as the Rockets don't win, though..I'd rather not see Durant get another ring, too, but I'd go with them over Houston..

Same for me-apart from the Greek connection-have the same exact bets.

(Although i also took Giannis for MVP when Harden was the favorite mid season so i won't be too disheartened when GSW inevitably wins)

[rascal]

1. Toronto
2. Denver
3. Mil
4. GS
5.Houston
6. PHil
7. Port
8. Bost

Really don't care who wins but would want the never have title teams to win their first championship.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Anybody but the Califaggots, tbh.


Probably the Rockets or 76ers

[tholdren]

Why watch nba?

[timtonymanu]

Fear the Deer. Even though they have that faggot Gasol there

[cutewizard]

Golden State dying


Durant gone

End of a dynasty

Yihaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[cutewizard]

The Bucks, Eastern Spurs, shall win the NBA title

[tlongII]

Blazers

[DPG21920]

Thank God HOU is out! They are going to be a mess and while having Harden/CP3 they really have not had any more success than Sa has the past 5 years. Beyond that, their cap situation is way worse, they have no foundational youth to usher in a new era or grow from within and they dont have much draft capital.

If TOR could just get knocked out either by PHI or MIL, then it would be pretty much a dream scenario and IDGAD about who wins - just not TOR please.

But it’s been great basketball these playoffs overall. Especially the 2nd round. I respect the hell out of both DEN/POR, MIL is an odd team but damn good. PHI is showing the extreme highs and lows of their team. TOR is really, really good and Kawhi is playing maybe the best in the league (KD can be argued for sure).

GS is still good, but not as good as previous years.

[DAF86]

So, who are we pulling for on this Warriors-Blazers series?
