Your Most Hated Teams

[blue9]

The MIN thread made me think of this. There are a number of teams I've hated, and will always hate. I don't think I'll ever NOT hate these teams:

PHX - Hated Dan Majerle. Later I hated Amare & D'Antoni.

MIN - Hated KG, Saunders, and the whole organization. Such a stupid team.

NJN - Hated Kidd/Jefferson/Martin. Still hate them in BKN.

OKC - They shouldn't exist. I hate them to their core. Durant is overrated.

Back during the Drexler days I hated the Bulls and the Jazz. Those two teams and PHX were my most despised teams. But after that era I came to appreciate what Jordan/Pippen did, and really came to respect Jerry Sloan. I suppose if one of the teams mentioned above were to get a coach on the level of Sloan/Pops, and run with him for decades, that might erase some of the hate I have for those teams...but I don't see it happening any time soon.

So, aside from the Lakers, what team(s) do you have an irreconcilable hatred for?

 

[Natebishop3]

Rockets
Lakers
Wolves
Thunder
Clippers

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

I hate every Western team. I always root for us and whatever eastern team (Besides Indiana and Chicago) is playing a western team.

 

[illmatic99]

It's not really irreconcilable, but I seem to really enjoy watching HOU fail. I hate Harden and Beverley, and watching Morey trip over himself with every move is amusing to me.

Yeah, that's more like schadenfreude. I'm talking about pure vitriol.

 

[PDXFonz]

Rockets
Lakers
Thunder

Borderline: Nuggets - but they aren't worth the energy to hate.

Goes without saying. It's even in the blue9's question (ASIDE FROM LAKERS)...

How can you hate Cleveland? That city has had to put up with so much shit. I hope they win a championship next year....get it out of the way before the blazers are at their peak.

 

[Minstrel]

I am free from hate when it comes to other teams and there are some I actively like, at various times.

The Lakers' fanbase though...

 

[Rastapopoulos]

It waxes and wanes. I didn't hate the Vlade/Threatt Lakers, but loathed the Phil Jackson Lakers. Right now I really seriously dislike the Rockets and OKC, and to a lesser extent the Clippers (who were my second fave team when they had Bo "not Travis" Outlaw) and Golden State (am I alone in this? I don't care. Still, Mark Jackson was a major cause of my hatred and I like Kerr, so that might change). I dislike that the Suns seem to pwn us, but the actual team can't rouse much hatred. Now Kobe's just a cranky old man I can't even hate him like I used to. I kind of... identify with him: raging against the dying of the light, surrounded by imbeciles...

Oh yeah, for some reason I don't like the Pacers. Which is odd, because they're a small market team who've done it the right way, drafting cautiously, developing their players. And I really like Hibbert. But de gustibus non est disputandum.

 

[Kaydow]

Lakers from early 2000s, Shaq/Kobe/Phil . . . easily my most hated.

Followed by Malone/Stockton/Sloan (dirty) Jazz teams

 

[Minstrel]

...and Golden State (am I alone in this? I don't care. Still, Mark Jackson was a major cause of my hatred and I like Kerr, so that might change)

Golden State is one of the teams I currently actively like outside of Portland. I like Steph Curry, I like the style of team they've built (lots of passing with Curry, Iguodala and Bogut) and I like that they're a perennially downtrodden team (in my lifetime) that is finally relevant.

LeBron now plays for the Cavaliers. Fuck Cleveland.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I buy obscure, hipster style jerseys. I will never buy the following teams because I hate them:

L*kers
OKC Thunder
Seattle Supersonics
Golden State Warriors

 

[rasheedfan2005]

in order of most hate to least

L*kers
houston
okc
clips
min
Golden state
phx

Dont care about east because the all suck.

 

[Minstrel]

I'm a little surprised to see Golden State come up for multiple people. I would have assumed that they had been inept for so long, they hadn't really ripped the heart out of or angered anyone (except the Mavericks in 2006-07). Where does the hatred for that franchise come from?

People are just getting prepared for when Lillard pulls a lebron and goes home.

I know a lot of people from the Bay Area and they talk shit alot. Also, the Chris "All Glocks Down" Mills incident a few years back.

It's because everybody loves them now. Also for me, Stephen Curry really rubs me the wrong way. Also David Lee. Nothing against Thompson or Green. Bogut's a bit of a dick, though.

Lakers

[crandc]

Lakers will always top the list. I don't care who plays for them, coaches them, owns them. I don't care if they win 60 games or 5. I hate the Lakers.

Currently Houston, they behaved like punks. Not a long time Houston hater, though.
Golden State, because I live here. And they annoy me.
Miami because they had that entitled aura, the 1%ers of the NBA (well, they are all 1%ers but you know what I mean).
OKC.

Kinda like Sacramento, their fans are so loyal, had a few good years but keep getting screwed and still show up.
I liked the Nets when Jason Collins was on the team, but could they not have given him just ONE minute in post season? I am pissed at them leaving Newark; I was born in Newark.

I liked golden state at that time. My hatred for them didnt start till last season tbh. While the purple and piss has 2 decades of pent up rage in my heart.

 

[Hobbesarable]

So, aside from the Lakers, what team(s) do you have an irreconcilable hatred for?

L*kers.

I expect every other team to give me some good entertainment while our Blazers kick their ass!

It was a warning for HCP.
