Rockets fans - which team do you root for in the playoffs 2024?

nuggets and clippers

 

Clippers, I usually (casually) root for the team with the least prior success and the longest since their last championship. So that's Clippers or Twolves which I'd be fine with either.

 

You can edit the poll title and fix it bro.

 

I support Nuggets, mainly because of Murray being Canadian. Jokic is also a super fun player to watch, so that makes it easier for me to root for them.

I would also like to support Shai, too bad he is playing for OKC. **** OKC.

 

Probably the Celtics. I'm definitely not pulling for any Western Conference teams. And I absolutely want the older squads like the Lakers, Clippers, and Suns to get eliminated as soon as possible. Well, I guess I do want the Clippers to beat the Mavs and THEN get knocked out. We need those teams to fade into obscurity so the West isn't as stacked going forward as it was this season.

 

not even a question for me…fck all them other teams although I do like Ant so I’m also pulling for the Wolves just a little bit as well…would also be rooting for the Pelicans if Zion was playing, but since he’s not, there’s no point

 

Why wouldn’t I? I like the Pelicans in general, especially when they have their best player on the court.

 

Root is probably too strong a word.

I know everyone likes the Nuggets due to similarities and Uncle Jeff on the team but I would generally want to see a younger superstar win a title....

Shai, Tatum, ....even Luka, Edwards ....

I know the odds are in favor of more seasoned star players but that is why we watch the games.

Find our niche interest and fetish within the NBA Playoffs.......

 

I just want the Nuggets, Thunder or T-Wolves to emerge from the West and the Sixers to not win the East.

OKC would be my #1 pick because Shai, J-Dub and Chet and three of my favorite players in the NBA but obviously they are too green and too small.

 

Not rooting for anyone....DGAF, Rockets til' I die. Shoulda been a NONE option.

But Nuggets beating Fakers, I'm all up for that.

 

I just enjoy the games at this point. As much as I miss the Rockets in the playoffs, I don't enjoy the stress that comes along with it. I'm not rooting for any team.

 

harden

 

pretty much lakers and mavs

 

I'm the same. I root for good games. I take no satisfaction in some team not named Rockets blowing out another team.

The one slight hedge would be towards the older teams. I don't like to see the younger teams we'll be competing with succeed. I don't care how far the Clips/Suns/Lakers/Warriors go. If they aren't done this year they will be soon.

 

I root for the Rockets and only the Rockets. There is no joy to be had in another team winning.

 

Oddly enough I find myself rooting for the Knicks. I like tough underdogs.
