I never thought a situation would arise when I would root for the Lakers. I would root for the Lakers over the Heat. LeBron is my new least favorite athlete. Trumps Kobe by quite a bit now. I hate that guy. A ton. Pussy ass coward.
 
That's like asking who you wanted to see win the Iran/Iraq War or the Eastern Front in WWII. A pox on both their houses.

My vote is "none of the above". I look forward to the Blazers kicking the crap out of both of them.
 
I like Wade a lot, don't care about Bosh, and hate LeBron. Even with Wade being one of my favorite players to watch, I think I'll take the Blakers.
 
I cannot 'root' for the Flakers. No matter what. Period. I can't stand LeBron, and the Three Amigas joining forces out of fear of competition is pathetic, and I hope they lose every game -- except when they play the Flakers. But I seriously doubt I'll watch. The best possible outcome is they put each others best players in the infirmary.
 
Players on Heat I hate:
LeBron James
Jamaal Magloire

Players on Lakers I hate:
Kobe Bryant
Lamar Odom
Pau Gasol
Andrew Bynum
Derek Fisher
Sasha Vujacic



Not even a contest.
 
Fuck the Lakers. Fuck the Heat. Fuck Steve Blake, too.
 
I don't watch NBA games that the Blazers aren't in, and would never root for another NBA team.
 
I would never cheer for the Lakers. But I marked the wrong one. I thought it was which would I not root for. I reread it later and realized I voted for the wrong team.
 
Which are you going to cut off, your balls or your cock?

Well that says a lot about your understanding of the NBA.
 
Neither.

The whole fact some folks would actually root for LA because they are a west coast team is disturbing. What does what coast they are from have to do with anything?

Enemy=Enemy.

I know right? Where is the option of I would disembowel myself before rooting for either one? Silly poll with no FUCK BOTH OF THEM option.
 
I'm really looking forward to watching the Heat play. Yeah, LeBron was a total dick in how he handled his departure, but whatever. I'm not a Cleveland fan. Why should I care?

LeBron is the most fun player in basketball to watch. His combination of size, speed and skill is just so amazing. I'll probably catch several Heat games this year just to see how the experiment plays out.

The interesting thing to me is in seeing how this plays out in the long-term. Of the big three, it seems to me that Wade is the one who fits least. I see this team winning a championship or two, them underperforming for a season, and Wade gets shipped out for some very nice pieces that fit better. Which will be ironic, given that it was originally "his team."

Anyway, I don't see how as a Blazer fan I should really resent the Heat. The Lakers deprived my guys of a championship. Shaq got away with countless fouls on his way to three rings. I hate that team. What have the Heat, or LeBron/Wade/Bosh, ever really done to earn my hatred?

Bosh/Wade/James decided to work together to be far better than any one could be on their own. That level of cooperation isn't terribly common in America, so I guess it's easy to vilify. But the NBA is a team game, and they clearly are going into this to try to create the most utterly dominant team ever. I don't know that they'll succeed, but I don't dislike them for trying.
 
I'd actually like to see fans boycott their games. It would be so cool to see them play in half empty arenas. But that's not going to happen. Between the front-runner fans (like LeBron himself), the fans who will love to hate them, and the fans who want to see allstars playing basketball, they will pack the house.

Ya, I would like to see them play and see how they do. The only reason I may disklike the teaming up in the future is if they beat the Blazers for the title and we would have finally won a title if not for those three teaming up. OTOH I hate the Lakers!

But that doesn't keep you from having strong opinions about other players throughout the league.

Exactly how I feel. Also with what mgb said... until they beat the Blazers in the Finals, I have no reason to root against them.

Why should it?

I see them all play repeatedly, and all of them are playing against the same team (The Blazers).

An ideal arrangement for unbiased, even comparison of talents and abilities in a nearly identical environment.

Most likely the reason I'm always right.

So watching a player between 2-4 times a year is enough of a sample size to judge?

Then again, your the same guy who think Sergio, Khryapa and Ha are the greatest players to wear a Blazers jersey.

Enough said.
