Want is too strong of a word for me. I'd rather go with who I would tolerate winning. Of all the teams, I could tolerate Washington most. Sadly the 4 teams I could probably tolerate the least are the only 4 I think have a real shot to win. Spurs Thunder Heat Clippers
That's not true. It would only be true if every team in the league was equally talented. A team of 5 lebrons would beat a lot of other teams despite not making the extra pass, setting the hard screen, running the efficient play, playing team d, etc, simply on the virtue of their superior talent. There's something to be said about a lesser talented team beating a team with more talent by playing more efficiently and more together.
The Spurs are that 50 year old dude at the rec every day with the automatic set shot. Like a machine.
1. Portland (despite our heartbreaking loss, I like this team) 2. Washington (really like them too) 3. LA Clippers (I really like both Griffin and Paul, despite the flopping) 4. Oklahoma (would be cool to see Durant get a ring; he deserves it) 5. Indiana (meh... I don't see it happening) 6. Brooklyn (would not like it, but better than the alternatives) 7. San Antonio (impressive season) 8. Miami (I acknowledge his greatness, but I still think Lebron is a douche... Wade too)
Miami losing at any step of this changes the landscape of the NBA. No big shot from ray allen last year and this year would be totally different. I wanna see them lose so it will shake things up.
