What NBA team should I follow, after the grizzlies and I parted ways.

I bet What wishes he hadn't created this thread, lol!

 

What a troll

 

This is What happens when you're a bandwagon fan

 

hahhahaha

 

Lol at the list of possible new teams

 

Pretty funny post in retrospective. ATL, CLE, GSW, MEM, LAC, and WAS are 6/8 teams still alive. Houston and Chicago are the only teams not included.

 

What??

Whaaaaat????

 

according to another thread he can't pick Lebron's team.

 

Well..I don't find it this thread funny at all. It sure looks funny now but it only shows how things change in just two years. All the things posted in the original posts ringed true at the time to most NBA fans.

And though I don't like people changing teams sometimes it's understandable to stop rooting for your team for a time out of principle and as a protest. You can't change the owner. Imagine if you were all Kings fans now and the butt of every other NBA fan and you saw your owner trade Cousins.

 

No, it's not understandable. You root for your team through thick and thin. You may protest by not supporting them financially (e.g. going to games), but you never give up on your team.

 

Mods,

Can we make this thread a sticky?

 

The reason it is funny for a lot of us is because the OP talks massive trash about the Rockets and kicks them whenever he's down.

It's important for people to realize that he's a bandwagon fan and thus by rules of international fandom is not allowed to trash talk loyal fans.

 

I think some folks in the GARM need to read your post

 

Hope he went to the T-Wolves because he's 'such a big Kevin Love fan'. Probably jumped straight on the Cavs Wagon.

 

I have no idea who is the original poster. I thought people found funny what he said in the first post about the teams- which all turned out to be wrong. BUT at the time when he posted it that was the feelings of most NBA fans about these teams. It shows that things can quickly change in the NBA.

Yes you do in some cases when it goes against your principles. 3 years now I refuse to support my own greek team, the one I grew up since I was a child supporting it, because the new owner is a hooligan thug drug addict. I have stopped watching alltogether because he brings shame to me having to support this *******. I am not going to support another team but I just refuse to watch or even call myself a fan of this team until he goes. It pains me because I did support my club even when we were rock bottom and had to defend it to all my family and friends, but NOW it is against my principles.
If I grew up being a Clippers fan I would refuse to support the Clippers until Sterling sold. The NBA was lucky that they could throw him out.

Sports and teams and clubs give us an identity but this identity and solidarity you feel with fellow fans isn't above the identity I have as a person,and the principles I have from my family, to demand dignity and good sportmanship.
I'm sorry but fans can make a choice and the choice can be to leave. We are not blind sheep to follow every thug and scumbag owner just because they were rich and got the chance to buy with dirty money our beloved team.
When they go , we will happilly go back and support it again because it is in our heart.

 

What people are finding funny is that he made this huge deal about officially jumping ship, and now when things are going well is suddenly beating his chest again, pretending this never happened.

You guys are funny for picking on what. Our own fan base has plenty of fans just like him flooding the GARM at any hint of rockets' "failure" so they can beat their chest and claim they are so much more enlightened than the "sheep" (i.e. what some of you just described as "real" fans) fans.

That's all fine to most of you.

But when a fan of another team does the same thing it's hilariously dumb. At least he actually stuck by his team even after this dumb thread and likes them unlike a lot of our "fans" who care more about being right about how much the team sucks than actually rooting for the team.
