What's your "root for" list?

[bfrombleacher]

If two teams go head to head, who would you support first?

Celtics
obviously   EIGHTEEN! I don't even care if you think we're not winning it this year. LET'S GO CELTICS!

Grizzlies
My brother likes them. They're pretty cool. Nice young talent.

Spurs
You gotta respect that organization. And I kind of like Pop. A Spurs, Celtic final would be sick.

Pacers
I like their potential, like how they're built.

Trailblazers
Good organization, good players, tough luck. How does one even have that bad of luck? The Blazers and us, man, just unlucky as hell.

Raptors
Gotta root for our Atlantic Division brethren. Plus I like underdogs. Their fans are hella loyal that's all I can say.



Honestly, these teams are pretty interchangeable...

Rockets, Jazz, Warriors, Bucks
They're okay. They have some intriguing young guns that make them likable. Plus, I really love rooting for the underdog.

Kings
Same reasons as the Jazz and Rockets but their organization has just been making one bad move after the other so they lose points there.

Nuggets, 6ers, Timberwolves
Underdogs (ish) and, again, like how they're built.

Hawks
Good players, terribly built team. Ugh. Again, the underdog reason.

Cavs, Pistons, Hornets
Way to royally screw over a perfectly fine franchise, bros. Although, again, being underdogs I have a soft spot for them.

Suns
I respect Nash and Grant Hill. Also their medical staff is amazing.

Bobcats, Wizards
Are they still in the league? I only root for them because they're (for the millionth time) underdogs.

Mavericks
Jason Kidd is playing at 38. Nuff said. Plus they're loyal to their players.

...up til the Mavs. Middle of my "root for" list.




Nets
Don't care for Deron. Don't care for them, just don't.

Clippers
An LA team but whatever.

Magic, Thunder
Guess they are a conference foe. Don't feel too strongly about them at all. As for OKC, Russell Westbrooke is a ****.

Knicks
Linsanity. Gained some love from me there. But they're the Knicks. Can't love an NY team. Boo.

Bulls
Ugh. Rose fans. Always love their silence when a loss shuts them up.

Heat
Fake coughing, giving the finger to Cleveland, being arrogant ****s.

Lakers
Nothing like a good LA loss except a BOS win.
What can I say?...apart from...beat LA, beat LA

I root for LA - to lose. Even BOTH LA's to that point..the chippiness that Blake was doing on Monday night soured me a bit towards him.

To his defense, though - with the amount of physical punishment that opponents give him night in and out, I guess I'd be chippy, too.

That list of teams from bf pretty much sums up my thoughts as well.

Celtics.

Anyone playing the Lakers and/or Miami.

I like the Wolves (dang, Ricky), the Sixers (team ball), Spurs and OKC (KD, KP!)

[Celtics18]

Of course I like the Celtics.

After that, I can kind of root for the Nuggets, the Blazers, the Sixers, and the Spurs.

 I can imagine there might come a time this post season where I become a Bulls fan (hopefully, not, though, because that will most likely mean that the Cs are out of it.)

[Redz]

Obviously the Celtics.

I always have a soft spot for the Warriors through the years.  Run TMC    The Baron Davis squad that had the great first round series vs the Mavs.

I really enjoyed the Kings with Vlade, CWebb, Peja etc...
