What team are you pulling for at this point?

[blizz]

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 le since I was a ing kid in 84 and ECU men has only been to the tournament once in my ing 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

Yeah you are a ing stupid ass. Do you ing 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. ing stupid dumb ass mother er.

[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.

shut up 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 online over basketball

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

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.

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) Kawhi.

spot on.. I liked the celtics touch

[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.

Just like you were losing your 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]

[UncleDennis]

Raptors just because of the inevitable storm 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.

I never lost , 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

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.

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 le teams to win their first championship.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Anybody but the Cali gots, tbh.


Probably the Rockets or 76ers

[tholdren]

Why watch nba?
