Im rooting for the Nuggets I want Jokic to win another ring

Not the Lakers.

In daily life a Pacers fan, but rooting for the Spurs these play offs. I have always had a soft spot for that franchise building it all the up from my earliest moments of NBA fandom, me liking/respecting well ran franchises (even if I am not a fan of them). Pop is one of my favourite HC’s in league history (and to unbiased me the GOAT) and Duncan has always been high on my favourite player lists.

Now they have my namesake Wemby, who I enjoy as player and person (for how he seems to be at least).

Spurs or Nuggets 

Wolves back AWOOOOOOO!

I’m rooting for the nuggets or wolves in the west, celtics in the east. Spurs are fun too.

what the celtics did winning 55 games mostly without tatum is amazing, i expected them to be tanking with us. i also want to see tatum succeed post achilles

I mean, my team isn’t a bottom 10 team and can still squeeze into the playoffs like last year but fuckin’ hell…a repeat of that Cavs series feels very much so on the table lol

Anyways aside from that, I’d like Denver to do it. Jokic is generational and I think that 2nd ring would go a long way in cementing his status as an all time legend for real.

Pistons easily

Wolves and Cavs

Would love to see Rudy or Don win one

Of the teams with realistic contention chances, I am rooting for the Nuggets because I want Jokic to get as many accolades as possible. I believe he is a top 5 talent of all time and I want him to have the championships that ensure he gets the respect he deserves in the future.

I always root for the Warriors to an extent because Steph Curry is the most fun player to watch of all time. I would love to see them get into the playoffs at least and make a fun series (to keep expectations realistic).

The Spurs have been a great story and I would not mind seeing them make it far. Wemby has quickly become one of my favorite players in the league and him making a deep playoff run or even winning a championship so early in his career would be just incredible to watch.

In the east, I am probably rooting for either the Cavs because I would love to see Harden win a championship at last or the Celtics because there is really nothing I love more than elite coaching and GMing, plus the way they have handled this season has been just so ridiculously good.

OKC and Hornets

To keep the decade’s trend, i’m rooting for any team that hasn’t won this decade. Spurs and pistons final isn’t impossible.

I’m rooting for whoever plays the Celtics

Mind: Hornets. Them winning would be pure chaos.

Heart: Spurs. They are just so fun to watch.

Soul: Anyone and Everyone that isn’t Lakers /OKC.

I would love to see the Hornets bring utter chaos to the top seeds over in the East

I need to see a playoff series between the Pistons and Hornets haha

Hate watching

Pistons, Knicks are enemy 1 and 2. Thunder 3rd.

Lakers, Magic 4th and 5th.

Rockets 6th

Goldenstate and clippers 7th and 8th.

The other 12 i am mostly ambivalent about.

I am sure I will get favorites as it goes along.

Hornets and Timberwolves.

I mean, I always root for them anyway (unless they’re playing the Jazz), but definitely continuing in the playoffs. 

Would be nice to see Ant take the Wolves to a championship

Pistons! I want an eastern conference champion that isn’t the Celtics

Rooting for the Spurs, actively rooting against OKC

Hornets, they’re fun to watch

I always like cheering for underdog teams. I hope the Hornets win the title

In the east… I’m rooting for Charlotte and Detroit (yes, even if they play each other)

I want Charlotte to get out of the playins and have a great tense series against Detroit. I think I want New York to get out of the East, but I’d be happy with Cleveland or Detroit. I don’t want San Antonio to win it all because I think they’ll have a ton of chances in the future. Denver have basically become my secondary team, so I’d like for them to get one more title, but if Minnesota beats them in the first round I’d love to see a Cinderella run from them.

Jrue taking the Blazers deep would be hilarious.

Generally I’ll always cheer for the underdog in a series

Nuggets or Charlotte.

Joker for the class, LaMelo for the lolz.

Bulls fan here. Gonna root for Wemby and the Spurs but Ill be happy if anyone but Boston takes it.

Lakers because I love Bron

Pistons

Pistons and Hornets. T wolves or Spurs if from the west.

The real answer is nobody. I don’t give a shit if the Pacers aren’t in it.

But if I had to choose its Spurs or Nuggets this year.

Knicks. I’d like Brunson to win one.

honeslty anyone but the Nuggets and it’s a fun season

I’m rooting for the Timberwolves because they’re a bit of an underdog and I like Ant, and I also like the Hornets in the East because that would be awesome. And if those are all gone gone, whichever of the Nuggets or Spurs is still standing.

Cavs. Wolves would be alright too.

i just want thunder to lose, don’t care who wins 

Pistons, Spurs, Timberwolves, Hornets. Not the Lakers or Boston. Not Rockets, LAC, or Suns. Perhaps I could root for the Knicks a little.

Everyone is rooting for the Spurs

as a neutral fan, whoever I find in the first round to be playing the most entertaining and dramatic playoff basketball will be the team I will be rooting for the rest of playoffs

but outside of that I am rooting for Celtics and Pistons mostly

Spurs for sure

I think it’ll be either Detroit or Boston out of the east, but I’d rather see Charlotte or New York.

I think it’ll be either OKC or San Antonio in the west. I’d be happy with San Antonio, Denver, or Minnesota. As long as the Blazers make the playoffs, that’s what matters most to me out west.

Anyone but OKC. I detest SGA.

Even as a non neutral fan, I’m rooting hard for the Spurs and Nuggets. Would love to see Jokic secure his legacy among the greats, or Wemby and co emerge as yet another viable contender in the West.

Wemby and the Spurs probably

Im rooting for Rockets, Twolves, OKC, Pistons, or Spurs.

Actually, I’m ngl, I’m just rooting for great basketball lol, I don’t even care who wins, I just like watching and playing ball.

I’m rooting for melo and the hornets. I really enjoy melos playstyle

I’ll root for whoever’s left in the Midwest in the east, the clippers because of garland, and if nothing else who ever the underdog is

If my team doesn’t win I’ll be okay seeing the spurs or nuggets win. Don’t really have a reason to beef with them and I like most of the players on the teams

Spurs.

Knicks in the East. Rockets in the West.

I’m rooting against the Rockets, Lakers, Warriors and Clippers. Other than that, I don’t mind anyone winning. Although I kind of don’t want any team that hasn’t won before to win so they don’t leave the Jazz behind.

(sonics fan)

Spurs for sure as my top team. Wemby is the best and most fun player to watch in the league. I like the timberwolves too. In the East, I like the Knicks and Pistons, I like the way the play. I dont get to watch a lot of east games because most of them happen while im still working.

There for Spurs and Lakers

Besides the nuggets, I just want to watch a Hornets playoff series. I’ve been standings watching more for them than I have for the nuggets lol

Once the Heat are out, the Hawks, Pistons, Nuggets in that order, no interest in the other teams succeeding

Cavs or Raptors

I think of all the contenders I wanna see Jokic win the most, add a couple more trophies to the cabinet. Outside of that, I wouldn’t hate it if the Knicks won, keep the streak of new champions every year going. But overall there’s no contender I’d be upset to see win this year.

I have a horse in this race of course, but assuming the Celtics don’t win (solid odds) I’d love to see the Pistons make the Finals. Loved watching them last year and this year.

Out West I’d be cool with anyone really. Spurs and Nuggets are really fun to watch and as much hate as they get - I don’t hate the Thunder as much as others. But they’re not my first choice lol

T Wolves are fun, I like NYK, and Detroit would be great too.

Not opposed to Boston, Denver, and San Antonio as well

Raptors. Ingram and Barnes are amazing to behold. Realistically I don’t see them winning a round, but it would be nice.

I’m a Nets fan but gotta root for the Knicks. Outside the Knicks, it’s the Spurs

I want Jokic to cement himself as a top 20 player all time before Wemby wins the next 10 championships

Da spurs

Sixers, Spurs - in that order.

Suns and hornets

As a fan of an East coast team I always like to pick a West coast team too.

My pick is Spurs. Hope Wolves do well also but I don’t see them going as far.

I’m obviously a Nuggets fan but if we don’t win I’d like to see the Pistons go all the way tbh.

As a pacers fan probably spurs and celtics

rooting for any and all playin teams lol

i just want the knicks and okc to lose

Uhhh no one

Denver/Detroit

Pistons didn’t rest their guys yesterday despite having nothing to really play for. I want them to win just for that.

Mavs fan rooting for Cade Cunningham

Denver / Detroit / Boston

Denver, San Antonio, Charlotte, Detroit

There also was a part of me that wanted the Lakers to win because it would make the entire Mavs org go into such hilarious damage control.

Luka for me. But honestly anyone not OKC lol

No one. Once the Bucks are out of it I don’t care who wins

I cannot root against an old man LeBron.  Also, Tatum coming back from that injury makes that a hard team to not appreciate.  Jokic also rocks.  There are a lot of fun teams.  

Lakers aren’t bottom 10 record wise but their current roster says otherwise. Once the lakers are out I want the Nuggets to beat OKC, Spurs and then the Celtics. Only time I don’t root for Joker is when he’s against my Lakers.

Rooting for Detroit If Thunder get eliminated.

As a Jazz fan I am super excited to see all these teams who got stud players from tanking and then watch as the entire league blames us for the tanking problem… again

I’m neutral in the west, so I’ll be rooting for Minnesota, but I’ll be happy if Denver wins the west too

Either one would be a fun series against the Knicks

I want veteran (6 seasons or more) non-champion All-Star/All-NBA level players to win. Brunson/KAT, PG/Embiid, Mitchell/Harden, Ant/Gobert, or Booker would be fun outcomes to me.

Purely for peak off-season drama, I’d be open to Kawhi having a Dirk-like run to a championship.

How do you not root for Wemby. The dude is all charisma and going to be an all time great if he stays healthy

Obviously I want my Spurs to win it all, but I would really like to see the Hornets make a deep playoffs run.

In order: Pistons, pain and suffering for the fans of the New York Knicks and Boston Celtics, Wolves, Spurs 

As a Mavs fan, my picks are Spurs in West (always have a huge respect on that team, really enjoy rivalry back then) and Pistons in East (my first NBA jersey I receive as a gift back then when I was a lid was RIP Hamilton jersey)

I hope they all lose

I guess the cavs lol

I’m really hoping the Suns resume playing like they were before the Brooks injury and make some noise against SA/OKC depending on play-in results. Otherwise, I’ll be going for the Nuggets.

I’m a neutral and only root for teams without championships

East: Hawks (only because they don’t have a championship as the Atlanta Hawks), Magic, Hornets

West: Timberwolves, Suns, Clippers. (However, I’ll add Warriors because as a younger brother myself [I’m a middle of 3 boys] I would like to see Seth get a championship. However, I fear the Thunder will go to the Finals again. If not them, the Spurs.

All of my picks would involve first round upsets and I don’t think it’ll happen. Except maybe the Warriors.

Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion, but if my team isn’t playing I just watch the games. I don’t have to root for some other team, I can just watch good hoops.

Not even a bottom 10 team but I’ve got to love root for the spurs. Their culture and style of play with a literal alien leading them is awesome

Pistons for sure, I just feel like the NBA is great when the Pistons are competitive.

spurs, knicks (for research purposes and see what they do with the team), and celtics 💯

of the teams that actually have a chance i would prefer if okc or boston won. would like the cavs, rockets, 76ers, lakers (lol) to do something but they have no chance

not a bottom 10 team but since the lakers’ post season expectations are basically dead, I’m rooting for the Knicks and the hornets in the east. rooting against the spurs, the nuggets, the thunder… matter fact I’m rooting against the entire western conference I find them all kind of insufferable.

Someone from the East to win overall except Pistons (fine with ecf since Bickerstaff deserves it), Knicks, or Hornets. No team that willingly employs Miles Bridges deserves support. 

In the east, Knicks

As a kings fan I won’t be rooting for anyone. Hopefully Iran hits us with a missile and we can all be as miserable as I’ve been my whole life

Whoever is playing my fav team’s rivals! lol.

Nugs. Joker deserves his spot among the all timers

Nuggets and Pistons. But there are several teams that I’d be ok with winning. So just good basketball in general.

Spurs or Nuggets out west. But would love to see the Celtics win it all with Tatum’s return from injury
