There's really only 3 or 4 of the playoff teams that I "like". After that it moves from "indifferent" quickly down to "hate". Dallas is in my transitional section between indifference and dislike.
Perhaps if they still had a team that could play I'd dislike them more than I do. I still love to see the Spurs beat them, but the fact they don't challenge us anymore has killed most of that buzz for me.
I don't see one 1st round match-up in the East that I want to watch. Looking at the match ups is painful. MAYBE the Bulls and Nets... In contrast, all of the West match-ups as they currently stand are exciting. Even a non-Spurs fan has to be curious whether the Grizz can upset the Spurs again. even Portland-Houston looks interesting the way the Rockets and Lillards are playing.
1. Spurs
2. Bulls They're my EC team. Love Noah's passion and drive, and that team is admirable doing what they've done sans flowers.
3. Golden State Oracle is an amazing arena full of fans that pack it regardless of how good their team is. Curry is a fantastic shooter and so fun to watch. Klay's shot is pure. Their team is a blast to watch hoop.
4. Toronto Had Indiana here previously, but watching that team devolve is ugly and speaks to the egos that a lot of players have. Could Paul George have done *less* this year to justify the at ude that he seems to have as one of the best players in the league? Anyway, I should probably talk about the team in the bullet point. I'll move it down.
5. Atlanta They're probably the worst team in the playoffs right now because of injuries, but I respect Bud and he has done an amazing job with that team.
6. Miami I don't mind seeing LeBron win as it forces a lot of hated (Lakers/etc) fans to STFU. The only thing a Laker fan hates worse than a Spurs le is a Heat le. Enemy of enemy = friend, IMO.
7. Washington Wall is balling for them and that city could really use a decent NBA team.
8. Indiana I've become increasingly ambivalent about their success. So I'll talk about the Raptors, who are an exciting young team with a ton of talent that somehow materialized from the ashes. I would love to see them pull an upset or two in the East playoffs.
9. Dallas Props to Dirk for not boarding the first flight to "Bought Rings Academy". Still not a fan of them, though.
10. Bobcats I really don't know enough about their style of play to care, but they'll be broomed in R1 anyway so it's meh.
11. Portland I just can't bring myself to like the Jailblazers. I don't know what it is. They have a great fanbase and I don't really hate anyone on their team and Lillard gets it done.... I just can't do it.
12. Brooklyn Only this high because I like Deron Williams. Dude is consistently underrated these days.
13. Memphis Eat our broomsticks, suckas. Gasol is cool doe.
14. Clippers As much as I have grown to appreciate Blake's game... it's an LA team and they can always suck it. Especially with the Fall Crew that they have in there now.
15. Houston I'm not even an ardent Dwight hater and I can safely say that the Rockets are the most annoying team in the playoffs. Watching them beat around on Portland for 6/7 games will be a treat.
16. OKC everything about this team. Especially He Who Would Be Kobe. I've never seen a group of players be so coddled, not even the Lakers. To give you an idea of how much of a farce this team is: They actually got Spurstalk fans to stop talking about how the Kang gets all the calls. That's practically unfathomable, a feat not even Kobe could accomplish. Their fans suck ass and howl about the injustice of obvious fouls. Even KD has suc bed to being made. Given how impressive his game is, it speaks volumes when I say that I've actively started to hate him as a player. They're actually making a run at the Lakers for the level of tacular antics and general fan idiocy, a feat never before thought possible in modern sports.
Oh, and Perkins.
1. Spurs "but, homer"
2. Toronto - Love DeRozan, Ross and Amir Johnson. Deserve some success, steady franchise.
3. Brooklyn - Not biggest fan of Pierce, Garnett or Jason Kidd, but nice franchise with nice fans. Most intriguing team in the East right now for me.
4. Charlotte - Simply because of how bad they've been for the past two years. Like to see the underdog (massively) do well. Go Al Jefferson.
5. Bulls - A team I just can't hate. Big D Rose fan, Noah fan and would like to see them beat Miami. Electric home atmosphere.
6. Atlanta - No feelings either way really, Bud puts them this high.
7. Wizards - Same as Hawks, no feelings. Atlanta has Bud so go in front.
8. Clippers - Not as annoying as some make out. Don't like Paul too much, Griffin ok. Deserve some rings after horrific few years.
9. Mavs - Dirk fan, just can't hate him. Carlisle is ok.
10. Memphis - No real feelings, not big fan of how they 3 point cheese against the Spurs.
11. Heat - I really don't know why they're this high. Massive respect to Wade and Lebron, not as much ref help as I expected them to get in the finals.
12. Pacers - Annoying fans, don't like Paul George or Hibbert. Reggie Miller.
13. Warriors - Really annoying fan base. Curry is annoying (stop chewing that damn mouth piece!) Bogut is annoying.
14. OKC - Durant is ok, despite ref help. Hate Westbrook, Ibaka, Brooks.
15. Portland - Mo Williams. Batum. Enough said.
16. Houston - Dwert, Harden. McHale. Fans act like game 7 win after regular season wins. Announcers.
You can add Doc Rivers. Such an annoying asshole. Yelling like crazy to the refs without ever getting a technical for it, Blake and Paul flopping like crazy and Matt Barnes is just a punchable got. Can't stand this guy.
Havoc with the OKC goods.
16. Thunder-
1. Spurs
2. Heat LeBron fan

Its funny my hate for the Mavs has subsided greatly. I hate Cuban , but Dirk is ok. And no Terry helps...
the Heat, that whole team can eat a bag of s.
Chimpbrook, Harden are right behind the Heat. Crybaby losers.

1- Spurs, what's not to like? They're professional, don't trash talk, have families, and play hard every night.
2- Atlanta- I root for the underdogs in every playoff format. And if they do well the Spurs will get recognition because of Budenholzer. I'm all for it.
3- Charlotte- Again, root for the underdogs, and of course, for Gary Neal, who I think we'll miss dearly in these playoffs.
4- Toronto- They're a young, exciting team with no overhyped or overrated players. And they have a great and loyal fan base. Should be fun watching them.
5- Miami- Ray Allen is a punk, but Lebron is a great basketball player and person. And Wade and Bosh aren't too bad either. And like the Spurs, they're flat-out professional. Gotta appreciate what they bring to the table night in and night out.
6- Wizards- Wall is overrated but I like how they've come together this year. Must have took a lot of grit and determination turning such a disaster around. I'll give them credit.
7- Pacers- No reason to hate them really, but Lance Stephenson is a showboat and their whole team has been vastly overrated by the media for the last 3 years. And they're not 'struggling', they're just not very talented and not very good. Still root for George Hill a little bit.
8- Bulls- Nothing against them personally, but they're mind-numbingly boring to watch.
9- Memphis- Again, nothing against them, although Tony Allen is a flopper, but they're just so boring to watch. I'll root for them vs OKC but they don't have a prayer.
10- Portland- I think they're too y and I don't like how LaMarcus Aldridge just can't wait to bolt in the off-season. Damian Lilliard and Batum complain way too much and I can see them cheap-shotting Houston on the way out of that series once they lose.
11- Dallas- Monta Ellis is a thug and a ball hog and Mark Cuban is an arrogant prick. But otherwise, I like their team. Just really hate those 2 guys.
12- Nets- I hate KG's guts. He's sucked every penny out of every organization he's been with while not exactly being a model citizen on the court. And I hate Joe Johnson because he's overrated and because he's nicknamed 'iso-joe' for a GOOD reason. And I don't like how Deron Williams ran Jerry Sloan out of Utah and then left himself.
13- Golden State- Not one player on the Warriors has stood up for Mark Jackson. I guess that's fine, but it just sends a very selfish message seeing as he is still their head coach heading into the playoffs. They don't care. They just want to jack up shots and then go party in the bay afterwards, win or lose. Very unprofessiona and spoiled organization. Talented, but unprofessional and spoiled. I always call them the spoiled brats.
14- Clippers- They're this low because I despise all the attention Chris Paul receives. He's the most overrated player in the NBA and it's not even close. 9 playoff appearances and 7 first round exits. And Tony Parker has always owned him every opportunity he gets and has accomplished 10x more in his career and yet still everyone thinks Chris Paul is better? Otherwise, I hate Matt Barnes and Blake Griffin is a flopper.
15- OKC- Can't stand Durant. When did he get so y and arrogant? Every time the Spurs played against him this year I thought he acted like a complete jerk. And Westbrook is just a child. I mean seriously, screaming at the Spurs bench during live action? Yeah, that's real mature. Their talent may carry them over the Spurs but they won't get past Miami.
16- Rockets- And it's not even close. I HATE this team. Every. Single. Player. Harden is a whining, flopping, dirty player. Howard is overhyped and just sucks. Parsons is an arrogant prick. And I'll never forgive ESPN for hyping Jeremy Lin up so much during their obsession of 'Linsanity'. And I also hate the way they play. They just don't care about the fundamentals of the game. Harden will play one on one basketball 70% of the time, and they'll just run and gun, play no defense, and whine, flop and give the middle finger to their fans, the other team, and basketball in general. They can just rot in . And I hope we SMOKE them in round 2, but I wouldn't mind if Portland beat them first.

1. Spurs
2. Memphis - it's like watching the spurs of old
no real opinion on the rest
16. OKC - they'd be my #2 if they didn't act like such s.
Surprised with the Clipper hate on these lists. If the Spurs don't make it out of the West, I can't think of another team I'd like to see in the Finals than the Staples owners. How funny would it be for them to be hanging a banner while Kirby massages his ankle?
The irony. The spurs are full of got floppers, with Manure being the flopping team-captain. Harden plays for the rox, he's a flopper. Harden plays for the spurs and he has "craftiness". I love how when whistled, the spurs act like they've never committed a f'n foul in their whole lives- see Tim Duncan. D12 sucks yet SA has no answer for him.?? Mmmmkay. I love how the spurs act all wholesome and yet TD is sucking his BF while his wife and kids are asleep down the hallway. Funny how the year the rockets make the spurs their with a 4-0 Sweep, the hate goes thru the roof. I hope the rockets bend the spurs over and them in their collective asses, and I'm sure TD will enjoy that.
I enjoyed watching Miami snatchthis from them last yr

Heh, yeah...that would be hilarious...
Thread le...RIF...
Yes, apparently the thread le went over your head. Props for admitting it.
Flopper
You can't teach stupid tbh
its a natural gift
1. Spurs - nuff said
2. Dallas - my germon fellow Dirk!
3. Indiana - there obvously is a kind of conection between the spurs and them (hibbert/duncan...hill...)
4. Atlanta - Bud
5. Chicago - I like old school grind it out teams
6. Toronto - just for their fans
7. Charlotte - props for them not tanking anymore
8. Golden State - fun to watch...fan of the non-tat curry/tompson/harrison combo
9. Washington - why not?
10. Portland - still a fan of Batum...if only for his shot to the balls vs. Spain
11. Memphis - old school grind it out team, but in the West and with a history with our beloved Spurs
12. Clippers - they are so mehh...I like the idea of them having more success than the Lakers but they are just not playing the right way.
13. Houston - hate Hardens flopping and D12s antics...the rest of the guys is fun
14. Brooklyn - hate DW...hate JJ...hate the type of team building
15. Miami - if they switched conferences with OKC I'd hate them more
16. OKC - nuff said
Brazil is an idiot frog-ophone. Whottt's your excuse?
Other than Spurs any team except the Heat.
LeBron 3-peat will put him equal or above Duncan. Right now he is still a tier below. I really hate the way he just picked two other stars and built a super team in an easy conference, it completely throws the balance out of window.
Allen's shot gave LeBron a chance to be above Duncan, he would have faced endless scrutiny through the entire summer if it didn't go in and his relationship with Wade will be blown up. Super teams are fragile inside, can not match the chemistry and relationship of life long friends like GDP. One loss, finger pointing starts and it may be over with Wade's health.
So if you are a fan of Duncan you want LeBron to stop winning les. Nothing is for granted, with Durant coming to power, and LeBron's body starting to show cracks in the invulnerable armor, there is a chance he can decline from here and stay behind Duncan in the all time rankings. Duncan, someone who never left the team that drafted him, deserves to be higher on universal rankings, so please LeBron take a major injury, pay the bad karma you put on yourself with The Decision.
So if you are a Duncan fan you should hope OKC beats Miami if they meet in the finals to give Duncan at least one spot higher on the all time rankings.
What an awful post, tbh. ^
