    I don't want any other team in the West to do well. But, I've always been ok with rooting for a team in the East (so long as they're not playing the Rockets). That team changes every couple years.

    If you are rooting for / supporting / like any team in the East, who is it?

    This year, for me, it's Toronto. They haven't done anything in forever and they are due. They are good and they are versatile.

    As my Rockets fandom has grown over the years, I find it hard to root for any other teams. Love basketball, but I watch games as they relate to the Houston Rockets now.

    No real time to root for other teams but I watch other teams' games as an interest in the NBA.

    I'm the same. I picked Toronto but that's not to say that I'm watching Raptors games or even checking their box scores. They're just the team that I like in the East.

    The last 2 years I think Philly was the team I wanted to see do well. But now that has shifted.

    Don't really care, but I suppose I dislike Toronto the least. Those fans deserve some success. Also I think it's hilarious what Kawhi did to the Spurs last year, so I want him to do well to aid in the Spurs fans' misery.

    Obviously for Miami, although I don't like the team.

    Except for the obvious, I root for Charlotte and Brooklyn. I am amazed at Kemba and I like Brooklyn's style of play.

    I root against Chicago Boston and Philly. Especially against Boston. Mainly because their fanbases, and Embiid are disgusting. Though because Chicago now has to suffer with Jabari I kinda feel sorry for them.

    Toronto is meh. I think their fanbase is kinda cute with all the bipolar behaviours, but they can get annoying.

    Thoroughly enjoy watching good basketball being played no matter who it is. Especially watching young teams that work to develop and improve on a yearly basis to become a good team.

    None.

    They can all suck to the max.

    I grew up in Boston and I am in Boston and cant even get myself to like Celtics.

    I remember watching the Celtics as a kid just to laugh at Abdelnaby.

    I’m hoping the hawks go all the way this year, as long as the rockets aren’t in the finals. Only because I once met Dwayne Dedmon before anyone knew who he was when he played for Orlando and he was pretty cool.

    I like watching Toronto play and hope Kawhi re-signs there

    I also like watching Philly

    I really hope that the Knicks can become good again...I hope KD goes there...no place compares to MSG when the Knicks are good

    I watch a lot of Oladipo’s highlights, but I don’t watch Pacers games

    Surprised, thought I'd see more Boston love.

    Did people vote for who they'd like to see win the East...or for who they thought actually would win? In either case, would still think Boston would get more votes (even though I voted for Toronto too).
