After the Blazers are eliminated, I have to figure out a new team to root for. I know some of you don't care, but I always have a pecking order. Here's mine. I will always root for the higher team on this list.

1. Grizzlies
2. Hawks
3. Mavericks
4. Celtics
5. Bulls
6. Lakers
7. Thunder
8. Heat

Do you have a list? Share with the group.
 
mine is eerily similar...

1: grizz
2: hawks
3: everyone else except...
die: heat/okc/lakers
 
1. Bulls
2. Hawks
3. Sorta the grizz
Screw everyone else.
 
1. Grizzlies
2. Hawks
3. Celtics
4. Bulls
5. Lakers
6. Mavs
7. Thunder
8. Heat
 
1. Grizzlies
2. Heat (only to spite Kobe and Laker fans)

I'd rather get raped by a horny gorilla than cheer for the L*kers or Thunder.

grizz, hawks, bulls, fuck the rest.
 
1. Dallas, 2. Memphis, 3. Chicago

I hate the Hawks and would love to see Dallas vs. Chicago for the finals. The reason why I root for Dallas now is I want our first round loss to be meaningful. Meaning... Well it taste much better knowing the team that beat us in the first round made it to the finals.

That makes it worse Mags, because it makes me think that if Dallas can make it to the Finals, WE could have made it to the Finals.... :(
 
At this point I just root for tragedy. Taking joy in other team's pain is about the only way I'm going to enjoy the rest of the playoffs. I'd love to see another team have a 4th quarter meltdown in game 7 or something.

Not for me... We could have easily said that we could have reached the finals and just lost to the champs. Sits much better than losing to, say NOH, then them losing in the second round to the Mavs or Lakers.

Why? Dallas is way better than us. Led for most of the series.
 
I remember the old joke..

The Lakers are my 2nd favorite team.

In backwards order:

#2: The Lakers
#1: Everyone else.

Actually, I just don't care who wins what now. Portland is out. Bring on the lock-out!!
 
In light of PapaG's thread. I'd like to adjust my list. It would be too painful to see the Thunder win it all so....

1. Grizzlies
2. Mavericks
3. Bulls
4. Heat
5. Thunder

My thread was solely based on my own potential pleasure as a viewer. While I don't really want Miami to make the Finals, I'd enjoy watching them play Dallas/Memphis/OKC over Chicago. Plus, once the Finals hit, I've never really cared who won, outside of the Lakers, who are easy to root against for me as a Blazer fan.
 
Now that the Lakers are out anybody can win and I'm fine with it.
 
Once the Blazers are eliminated the season is over as far as I'm concern.

I do though like the team that beat us to do well as others have mention.

Actually I would like to see Zach do well so I guess if I had to pick a team it would be Memphis.
 
Check it.

Since the 90-91 season, this year will be only the second time when MJ, Duncan, Shaq, or Kobe will not be playing in the NBA finals.

Whoa.

Last time was in 94 when the Rockets beat the Knicks.
 
Anyone have a working stream for the memphis game? Atdhe is being really bad
 
Thank you sir. Stupid OKC is going insane tho.
