I understand the whole notion of rooting for laundry vs rooting for the Celtics.

So let's say last week a mega deal is announced and the Lakers have been traded for the Celts straight up.

Who do you want to win the finals?

See? Not so easy is it?  To me it's a simple black and white, good vs evil question, but I'm curious what people will say.

I don't think I've ever eaten a turnip so this one is actually hard for me to relate to

The Celtics.  Took me about 1.5 seconds to decide.
Celtics fan for life.

First, this forum would go up in flames. There would probably be riots in the streets. Eventually there is a big risk, that Civil War II would break out, and the country would be divided east - west. After a while, Stern would have to negotiate a Truth-agreement (named after The Truth), and then people would start talking about the new era... or the death of the NBA. And then I would start thinking about who to root for.



Actually it would be the Celtics, but I would have died a little.

I root for a new team (Not the Lakers) until all of the Lakers turned Celtics have left the team.

No player is bigger than the Boston Celtics.
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.
