I for one would. We won't be contending, so why not? I would like that team much better than Miami, OKC, or even the Spurs. Would love to see KG and Pierce get another ring or two.

I bleed green, and Paul Pierce is the purest definition of that alongside KG.

The Clippers better start getting ready to be overcrowded by some more Boston fans, because WE COMING!

No -- they are still the Clippers. I will watch them though.

Edit: Ah, maybe I would. They would be a smashing team and play some beautiful stuff together. But man, I really hate the Clippers. All those years of purposely trying not to win games. Putting losers on the floor. I detest them for that. I really hate seeing things go well for them now. The NBA gives way too many chances to woefully run teams like this.

This might be the first time I ever root for another team.

Sure, I'd root for them out west. I definitely form favorites for my league pass viewing every year.

Yep, especially if it's Doc, KG AND Pierce there.

I'd love that to happen.

Celtics go through the necessary process of all-out rebuild while we get Celtics-West to cheer to victory.

Another interesting thing is we'd get to see Paul playing with Pierce and Garnett under Doc, which almost kinda sorta came to fruition two years ago when Danny almost traded Rondo for Paul.

Absolutely not!  I'm a Celtics fan.

I won't hold anything against KG or Pierce, who aren't the driving forces behind this nonsense, but I won't be rooting for Doc and I certainly won't be rooting for Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, or Donald Sterling.

I'll treat KG and Pierce how I currently treat Youk as a Yankee.  I hope he collects his money and spends the season on the DL, in no way negatively affecting the team I root for (Red Sox, Celtics).

I'll catch quite a few Clipper games if this happens. I'd love to see Pierce and KG get another ring.

I will cheer for them somewhat because any Clippers success tends to annoy the Lakers.

Nope.  This would be the first time I rooted against a Western team that wasn't the Lakers.

Oh, and if it were just KG and Pierce, I couldn't be happier for them.  The Doc shenanigans are the spoiler.

Absolutely not.

You wouldn't have found a bigger Doc fan than me but I've seriously turned since this all has come out.

i'll root for them when the playoffs come. i'm assuming the C's won't make it in the top 8 in the east.

I want KG and PP to get one more ring.  It would be great if they built a team to keep Miami away from anymore rings!!!
