What other NBA teams do you like watching?

Our main competitors in the East: the Bucks and the Raptors?

Other rivals like the 76ers, Knicks or Wizards?

Do you watch our main rival the LA Lakers?

Or other good teams like Golden State, Nuggets, Rockets or Thunder?

Are there lower teams that have a playing style that appeals to you?

Occasionally of course.

Who has the time to watch multiple teams on a game-to-game basis?

Edit: if you meant the question in a different way, is it about how teams are constructed right now.

None.

There is no NBA for me outside the Cs.

I may watch games that impact the Cs (if we have their draft picks or if we are jockeying for position with them in the standings). But I have no interest in any other teams.

TP to the OP for an in positing an intersting question.

I am an Iowa State alum, so I watch Denver and OKC (where some of the former ISU players play now) when possible.
Monte Morris in Denver has been doing really well.

Dallas is the only consistent one for me, and that’s basically to watch Doncic.

I also watch San Antonio and Utah. Got two of my fave Aussie talents, elite coaching and some fun to watch players.
'23 Historical Draft: Orlando Magic.

PG: Terry Porter (90-91) / Steve Francis (00-01)
SG: Joe Dumars (92-93) / Jeff Hornacek (91-92) / Jerry Stackhouse (00-01)
SF: Brandon Roy (08-09) / Walter Davis (78-79)
PF: Terry Cummings (84-85) / Paul Millsap (15-16)
C: Chris Webber (00-01) / Ralph Sampson (83-84) / Andrew Bogut (09-10)

Anybody who owns our picks. Kings. But that’s painful. I’m going to start watching IT and the Nugs.

Whatever game the restaurant TV has on, or the bar TV has on.

If there's an interest that collides with the Celtics' standing then that game, too.

I used to watch the Holiday / Iguodala Sixers a lot. When I lived on the west coast in the early 90s, lots of Blazers and Suns.

But in the current era, it’s just the Celts. I caught a lot of Kings games when Boogie was there, but I hate seeing him on the Warriors.

I barely have enough time to watch the C’s during the regular season. I only watch other games sporadically. Once the playoffs roll around I make it a point to watch as much as possible.

If it's not the Celts, I watch what's on cable and only the last 5 minutes of the 4th.

But in the 1990s, my non-Celtic team was the Phoenix Suns of Kevin Johnson.

I make sure to catch every possible second of Celtics basketball that I can.  The Celtics are my religion.  I have NBA League Pass - but through my provider, Comcast, I can only buy the entire package ($200) instead of only buying one team specific plan because Comcast dominates the area where I live.

Other than that, I have next to no interest in NBA basketball anymore.  The 3-point era is boring to me.  It's a style of basketball that is product of modern NBA rules and analytics, and worst of all is lazy and soft.  I prefer the days of post ups, hand checking, hard fouls in the paint, and/or gritty grind-it-out, hard-nosed defense-first type of games (like the '08 Celtics).  The amount of whining and entitlement in the modern NBA bothers me, and I say this as a millennial myself.  Couple that with god-awful NBA officiating and I've lost interest in NBA basketball outside of the C's.  The plays that they review these days as flagrant and technical fouls are a joke.  Let them play.  I didn't even watch the playoffs last year outside of the C's. I've already stopped watching the NFL for the exact same reasons.

That said, my favorite West Coast team is the Blazers.  Otherwise, as above, minimal interest.  Least favorite team is the Rockets.  The Harden brand of basketball is an affront to my senses.

Not really a certain team, per se

Just whatever game might be on TNT or ESPN.

Teams that I like and want to see succeed (EXCEPT at the Celtics expense)
-Denver Nuggets (Jokic is great!)
-OKC (Westbrook is currently the best player to not win a ring)
-Charlotte Hornets (really like Kemba)
-San Antonio Spurs (rooting for Derozan to succeed after being dealt by a team he was very loyal to.)
