Who is your 2nd preferred NBA champion for 2016-2017?

[trickybilly]

I'd love to see Russ do it...

[alldaboston]

I'd love to see Kawhi get another ring.

[The One]

I voted Spurs because of Kawhi.

[Roy H.]

Anyone other than the Lakers and Warriors.

I wouldn't mind seeing Lebron getting another ring. I'd like Pierce to go out on top if he was a rotation player.

[Eja117]

I like to see suffering fanbases win.  Like the T Wolves, Magic, Hornets.

I picked OKC, because that would be hilarious

[jpotter33]

I'd like to see San Antonio, Portland, or Indiana win it, outside us, of course.

I *highly* want to see Golden State, Cleveland, and both of the Los Angeles teams fail, though that'd suck for PP.

I also am kind of hoping Philly falls, because I don't think their years of terrible basketball should be rewarded, along with people already overrating what they're going to be.

The raptors would be pretty cool. Really anyone besides the cavs or warriors would mean we had multiple rounds of great playoff basketball

[Csfan1984]

Grizzlies would be cool. They had a few decent teams but would be way out of no where to pull it out.

[BornReady]

OKC to see KD's face when he's old team beats GSW

but all seriousness aside OKC isnt going to win

[Moranis]

Living outside of Cleveland, I voted for the Cavs in this poll, but the Thunder would be the team after that and OKC is not going to beat Golden State in a 7 game series, but I do actually think OKC would pose some significant matchup problems for Golden State.  Especially if Oladipo continues to develop as an offensive player.  It would be interesting to see GS try to contain those two strong athletic take it to the hole type players.  Plus Roberson, Grant, and Adams are a great defensive combination on the wings and down low. 

[arctic 3.0]

Which ever team is the underdog

[straightouttabahstun]

Us (duh) or Toronto in the East. Probably OKC in the West. Seeing Westbrook destroy the league including KD would be hysterical to watch.

[Denis998]

Why is it assumed that GSW is everyone's favorite to win it all. Me personally, I want them to lose every single game they play. I absolutely cannot stand that team and all that they stand for.

That being said, from the realistic contenders, Boston excluded, #1 would be Cavs and #2 would be spurs.

[Who]

Atlanta -- I like Dwight Howard. Millsap too. I like their team orientated play.

I'm starting to like Atlanta a little bit too.
