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.)
Wow. In the league now, or ever??

Either way I disagree very strongly, but interested to hear the defence.
'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)

Yeah, I'd rank Harden, Davis and Giannis over Westbrook in terms of who is "best".

I'd also rate Embiid and maybe Paul George ahead of Westbrick

No Maine Red Claws option? It's an NBA team. It's NBA G-league, but still.. I can't watch the real games here in Brazil, but I watch the Timelord highlights every chance I get

I think Westbrook is currently the best player in the NBA to not win a ring (more so than Giannis, Unibrow, Harden, Embiid and PG.)

His numbers have been incredible, he never misses games and this season, he's resembling more of a team player rather than an individual.

Just my 2 cents.

I don’t watch as much non-Celtics related games as I used to. I will watch portions of those non-Celtics games when they’re on national TV. I think the answer would have been easier if the question was who you don’t tune-in to watch. I refuse to watch Golden State because they acted like a bunch of babies after winning 73 games, losing in the Finals and then going after Durant. They basically took the competitive nature out of the sport. I also will not watch Houston, as I can’t stand the non-stop isolation offense of James Harden. I will happily watch any other team.

There are a bunch of teams out west I enjoy watching, whether it's a full game or just highlights.

Nuggets, Blazers, Kings, Mavs.

Luka and Jokic are always worth watching imo.

I watch the best of the national games. I like watching good basketball more than I like watching non-Boston teams or any one particular player, so I have no favorite team or player to watch other than the Celtics and their current players.

And the reason I say current players is because I don't really stay attached to ex-Celtic players, so an ex-Celtic playing wouldn't make me watch the game if it was going to be between two teams that don't exactly play great basketball. Watching a game just to watch an individual player isn't something I do.

- the Bucks because of Giannis (not consistently, but I might watch a game here and there)


non-NBA teams
- Rethymno Cretan Kings (my home town team)

I almost never miss a game. Unfortunately we suck this year, but oh well. 8)

You forgot to include the Seattle Super Sonics in your list!

 :(

More seriously, I actually watch quite a few teams whenever I can.   'Started following the hapless Kings some years back when they drafted Thomas and they've been "entertaining" to follow ever since.   I also follow the Spurs pretty closely for some time now.   Both Denver and Dallas are pretty interesting teams to watch right now.

I travel and always try to catch the local team wherever I am.   I'm just an NBA nerd.

  • Be the posts you wish to see in the world.
Brooklyn, Denver, Golden State, Milwaukee, Sacramento. An all-time great team, and young, fun up-and-coming teams.

missing the option of None

hate the current NBA product for many of the same reasons SCeltic34 mentioned.  bring back 80's basketball pre-Bad Boys era.

only watch the C's because I'm a diehard C's fan.
