Been awhile since I've posted, but I have what I think might be an interesting question so I figured I'd throw it to the board. As some of you may know, my new job has me basically living alone; my GF is in a different state so we see each other only every few weeks or so. Most of the people I work with are married with kids, so I spend a lot of time by myself. The downsides of this are pretty obvious, but the upside is that I get to live the bachelor lifestyle for a year or two, including watching an unhealthy number of NBA games. Anyway, in looking ahead to this weekend's games, I see that the 2 teams ahead of us in the East (Orlando and Cleveland) are playing the 1 team ahead of us in the West (Lakers), in LA on Friday and Monday nights, respectively. My question is, who should I root for when watching what should be a good couple of games? Orlando and Cleveland losing obviously helps us climb the ladder in the East, which is more immediately useful to our playoff chances, but that would require cheering for the Lakers, which I don't know if I can stomach. I'm not mean-spirited enough to root for a rash of injuries or for the earth to swallow the Staples Center whole, either. So what's the best stance for a dedicated Celtics fan to take? I'm leaning toward rooting for Orlando and then hoping the Cavs lose to the La...<hurp> the Lak...<HHUURRRPP>...the other team.
