no specific team.
in general i would root for the underdog or teams who have something likeable about them (certain players or something unique as a team)
If your team has a sweet chance in making the playoffs or will make a first round exit. Who you going to follow for rest?

spurs will probably embarrass themselves in the first round so i'll be rooting for orlando and denver.
i like watching OKC but theyll probably get bounced in the 1st as well.
My heart is in Denver and Altanta. My brain is in Los Angeles. The historian in me wants Cleveland and LA in the Finals, who cares who wins? I don't want Phoenix or Orlando to do anything.
What this means, since I'm picking about every horse (except excluding a couple) is that I will watch the series unfold, I'll want exciting, well-executed games where teams are forced to make adjustments. I'll want good matchups and good basketball. And if, at the end of that, a Champion looks like the best team in the tournament that we call the playoffs, I'll be happy.
Dallas.
I'll be pulling for Orlando in the east and Denver in the west. Beyond that, anyone but LA or Cleveland.
Dallas vs Cleveland
Bobcats. (Hope they make it) Spurs.
Mavs
IF my beloved Hornets don't make it through... then I gotta go with Dallas in the West and Atlanta or Charlotte in the East
Mavs. My coach, no players I wish would drop dead (sans maybe J-Kidd, but he doesn't count), I am a Mark Cuban fan. Yeah, I am rooting for the Mavs.
i root for the best team to win. I root for the game first, team second. It's shameful to be called a champion like the 2002 lakers, we all know why.
I prefer that the best team wins always, that way, if boston wins like in 2008, it's a legit le, not like 2006 heat or 2002 lakers.
Boston aren't winning.
Of course they are not, I was just argumenting that if they ever win I want them to win as the best team, not because of officiating/luck/fts/stern/media/anything not on the court.
oklahoma city
Spurs fans will root for the Cavs. They're bull ing if they say otherwise.
I don't mean to burst your bubble, but that 08 le was iffy... And this is coming from a huge HUGE PP fan. Letting KG get away with murder against Atlanta and Cleveland... Not cool. Shouldn't have been necessary. Take the championships where you can get them as a fan. Don't bother qualifying them, or you will end up as an Astrix dodger...
Ill be with the blazers thick and thin.
OKC and Cleveland.
Phoenix or San Antonio I guess. I hate Cleveland, Denver, and LA.
Well, I don't really have a vested interest in any of the favorites. My "B" team has been the Lakers for a long time, as growing up I was a huge Magic Johnson fan. But, that's always a tough thing to come to grips with as many if not most Laker fans annoy the out of me. But, I'll be cool if Kobe gets another ring.
Aside from them, I'd like the Nuggets to do well because I'm still a fan of Chauncey and I'd like to see Carmelo ascend to that next level of supers om. Don't like all of the players on that team, but I like the way they play and I like Chauncey.
I'd also be cool with Dallas going far and having another chance at a ring. Unlike some around here, I think Mark Cuban is a really good owner. I like Dirk a lot because, for all the things he gets made fun of for from his ex girlfriend to the exercise bike to being owned by Golden State and Don Nelson, I genuinely think he doesn't really allow that to bring him down and he lets his game speak for himself. I also like Caron Butler as a player. And there are some bad Mavs fans, but I like a lot of the Mavs posters on these boards. It'd be cool for them to be able to say, "2 rings gots" and at least have one legitimate one to boats about.
Like I said, don't really have a vested interest either way, but I'll be cool with any of those three teams winning it all and I'll likely end up rooting for them when I watch their games. I don't really like a team in the Eastern Conference, but it would be fun to watch Charlotte upset a team in the first round.
Does this upset you? Not enough bandwagon fans to slop on Kobe's with ya?
Spurs - > Denver - > OKC - > Whoever is playing the Lakers
Doesnt upset me at all. I actually pity you that you have to go thru the disapointment of the Spurs losing AND thru all the disapointments each time the Lakers get past another round.
Must have hurt watching last year huh?
Disappointment is over, disappointment was in '04 and '06. I'll take 4 championships and a 70% win record in 10 years, and i will watch my team rebuild legitimately.
I'll just use all 16 teams that are currently in the playoff picture.
My Team:
1. Dallas
Teams I would like to see win a ring:
2. Atlanta
3. Oklahoma City
4. Portland
5. Chicago
Teams I don't care about but it wouldn't bother me to see them win:
6. San Antonio
7. Phoenix
8. Boston
9. Milwaukee
10. Toronto
Teams I don't want to see win:
11. Lakers
12. Cleveland
I'd rather get AIDS:
13. Orlando (only because that got Matt Barnes is on the team)
14. Miami
15. Utah
16. Denver
