Who to root for in LAL vs. DAL...

[TDfan2007]

This one is pretty tough.

Lakers: -assedness runs rampant throughout the roster. Not one likeable player to speak of (well...maybe Odom). Pau and Kobe's vocal flopping is just ridiculous.

Mavs: Jason Terry. No need to say more. Pity might sway some fans of other teams in this direction.

So...which team do non LA/Dallas fans root for? This one's especially tough for Spurs fans. I for one am rooting for Dallas...only because I feel that they'll get destroyed by either Memphis or OKC in the WCFs.

Dallas. LA needs to get knocked off already.

Anyway, winner of Dallas/LA is going to the Finals. Both teams would have homecourt and are way more experienced than OKC/Memphis

This is not at all difficult for Spurs fans. For multiple reasons, you should be rooting for the Mavs.

1) Spurs have only faced the Mavs 4 times in the playoffs, winning 3 of those, whereas we've battled the Lakers since the early 80s and mostly suffered at their hands for close to 30 years

2) Phil Jackson's "asterisk" comment about the '99 chip

3) Lakers have a rapist on their team and their fans continue to call the accused but acquitted non-rapist Neal a rapist

4) Everyone knows the Mavs are the most chokingest franchise in the NBA and will never win a chip. When they beat the Lakers they will lose in the conference finals. The time to root against them is after they put the Lakers and Phil Jackson to sleep next week.

5) Texas pride

It was strange watching last nights game. I hate both teams (more than any other) but one just a tad more than the other. That and the fact that I think dirk deserves at least one ring after being loyal to such a "almost" team for that past few years. It was unsettling to myself as I saw Jason terry making shots and me actually being pleased by it. Seeing dirk do his off balance leg in the air fade away shot and not pulling my hair out but actually cheering for him was way out the norm for me

But if the lakers pull out the win in the series I won't be crying myself to sleep for the fact that Cuban is still the owner and that pesky turtle face I was cheering for last night is still my enemy at the end of the day.

Dallas

[hater]

Every team has an asshole and Jason Terry happens to be the mavs. Correction, every team except the Fakers has 1 asshole. The fakers have at least 4 or 5.

Go Mavs!

[Leetonidas]

Dallas. I'm tired of seeing the Lakers in the Finals already, it's getting boring.

I wanna see a Mavs vs. Heat rematch. I think Dallas would win in 7.

My choice is made

Root for the Heat.

[cheguevara]

pointless question. Memphis will wipe the floor with any of these 2 teams.

I would have no problem with the Mavs winning it all this year, because it means the Lakers got bounced. Bring on the rematch!!!

[v2freak]

Spurs fan first and foremost.... but nothing wrong with being a "state homer" afterwords.... never really saw the whole "Jason Terry is Dirty" thing tbh.... prob no more dirty or pesty than our legends Bruce Bowen and Robert Horry...

[Barfunk]

So yea Dallas for 2011 champs... they need to get that out of the way already.... then all three Texas teams with at least a ring
