Team(s) you're rooting for other than the Celtics

[misterx2day]

If the Celtics end up losing at some point in the playoffs, who do you want to see win the Finals? My first pick is OKC, they're exciting and hopefully they can give LA a run for their money. I love Durant, Green, and Westbrook as individual players too.

My more reasonable pick is Denver; people tend to think they are bunch of thugs, but man are they fun to watch when they are on top of their game. Hopefully George Karl can get back on the sidelines as soon as possible, and they are going to need Kenyon Martin to be healthy too. But I love Melo's game, and J.R. Smith is one heck of a scorer. I'll be rooting for the Nugs when I see them play.

spurs....always been a fan and respect them

[Mr October]

Hmmm, I guess i don't want to see most of the tops teams win it. 

I'm kinda digging Atlanta, Oklahoma, Phoenix or San Antonio. None of those teams will probably even make the conf finals though. :-/

I'll be rooting for whomever plays the Cavs.  I can't stand Lebron James that much.  I might (MIGHT) even hate him more than the Lakers.  I hope he never wins anything important.

I have a lot of respect for the Spurs, and wish them well.

OKC is exciting to watch, and I'm pretty impressed with how quickly they built a team from near-scratch with young players.

I'm disappointed that LB would get the credit if Charlotte wins anything, and that Gerald Wallace will go under the radar yet again.

East?  Hard to root for anyone in the east besides the C's.  Sorry.

[Donoghus]

In the West: OKC & Portland

In the East:  Milwaukee (if they're not playing us), and...gulp....Chicago if they make it.  (Hey, I live here now.  Can't help but show interest in the local team)

[barefacedmonk]

1. Portland
2. Any team playing against LA/Cleveland/Atlanta.

[fairweatherfan]

OKC, Phoenix, and Denver.  I like Dallas too but I'm not quite ready to root for Jason Kidd yet.

In the east probably Atlanta or Milwaukee if they aren't playing us.  Wouldn't mind seeing Charlotte do some damage either.

Denver definitely. I'm a big Melo fan (when is head is 100% in the game, he can score anywhere - its unbelievable.)

Any team in the West other than LA, of course.  In the East, if we don't win, I hope Cleveland does.  Sorry, guys, I don't mind Lebron, hyped or not.

Wow, that's what I call a surprise!

I would hate to see Cleveland win the championship though. If the C's fail, I'd rather see a team like Denver or Orlando win it all.

[Witch-King]

The Chicago Bulls (after this game is over and if they make the playoffs).

 Denver, Dallas and Portland even though they probably don't have a realistic chance of winning this season. Basically almost any team besides the Cavs and Lakers, though I would much prefer it if the Celtics won it all, obviously...

[slamtheking]

anyone playing the Lakers and Cavs

[guava_wrench]

2. Any team playing against LA/Cleveland/Atlanta.

Add any team playing Orlando. Assuming we are still in the playoffs.

If we are eliminated, then I just want LA to lose. I don't really care about anything else.

Perhaps I could root for Phx.

[PosImpos]

Really, anybody other than the Lakers or the Cavs.

The Avengers baby...I'm all about the Avengers.

My ideal non-Celtics Finals matchup:

Magic vs. Spurs

[GreenFaith1819]

Out West, I like Portland and San Antonio.

East, I'll take Charlotte.
