    what happens if there is some kid right now that is growing up in dallas and is a huge dallas fan. in the years to come he develops one of the best bball games known to date.

    he gets drafted by the rockets and leads them to championships. would you hate him because he was born and grew up in dallas?

    LOL. Good for you, moe. But anyone who hates any human being equal to or more than he hates Karl Malone is irrational in my book.

    **** the Mavs. **** them.

    I will never root for any other Texas team besides the Rockets. I rather Miami win (even though I despise that team as well) then ever root for the Mavs. I like Dirk, I like Kidd, but I don't want their ****ing city to have an NBA championship. I rather their piece of **** douche fans keep singing the tune to us Rockets fan, "Well at least we have some Superbowls". Who gives a **** about superbowls if you are a die-hard Rockets fan. I know I don't.

    **** Dallas!

    I agree with every single one. And last night's comeback was something to behold, whether you hate the Mavs or not.

    As for me, I only hate two NBA teams and I don't really "hate" either of them: The Jazz and The Heat. The Jazz because of history, though it doesn't really count anymore since everyone I hated there (esp. Sloan) is gone. The Heat because they gamed the system and Lebron and Bosh took what they believed to be the easy route to a championship. It would be fun for me if they were proven wrong and outworked by a team that played it straight.

    Also, I know it's not a popular opinion around these parts but I freaking love Mark Cuban.

    i dont understand how any rockets fan can hate the heat more than the mavs or jazz. i just cant understand. you have no other reason to hate the heat other than to be a hater.

    at least there is good reason to hate the mavs

    you mavs supporters sicken me

    Not trying to pick a fight (you know I love me some moes) but this sort of thing is downright baffling to me. Hating Dirk is like hating Duncan or Yao to me. All he ever did wrong was to work his ass off and get better each year. He's the NBA player I have most steadily coveted, not just because he's great and can shoot from anywhere on the floor but because he just seems like a good guy.

    I'd like to see Dirk and Kidd win a championship before the "Big Three".

    Really? The same conclusion seems to always come out from Heat "hater-haters". I think the reasons most dislike the Heat has already been discussed.
    Also I didn't read anywhere on the BBS or take that from the Batman Jones post above yours in which he discusses the Heat and Jazz, that anyone hates the Heat more than the Jazz. We have way more of a bitter history with the Jazz than the Mavs. As for the Heat, I'm pretty sure most on here have their reasons for hating them and it's not just because "they want to be haters and haters gon hate".

    The way it should ALWAYS be, no matter the circumstances:

    Mavericks: 0 championships

    Jazz: 0 championships

    Anybody who says, "I can't believe people don't hate ______ team more than _____ team is pure hatred with no good reason. That's fine. That's just sports fanhood. You have to passionately love a team and hate some other teams to really experience being a rabid fan.

    I hate the Lakers, for example, probably more than you hate the Mavs. I don't pretend that my hate is all that rational.

    Not really.

    You think Lebron and Wade didn't work as hard? Every one of those guys worked their tails off to get to where they are today.

    Also I will never ever root for the Dallas Mavericks.
