    Jazz vs. Lakers. Jerry Sloan, Boozer, AK47 and Deron Williams vs. PJ, Kobe, Pau, LO and Fisher.

    Spurs vs. Hornets. Manu, TD, TP and Bruce Bowen vs. Chris Paul, David West and Peja.

    What two teams do you WANT to win. As Rockets fans, pretty much all four teams are very unpopular. I was talking to a couple of people today who both wanted the Lakers to win, and it made me recoil. But then again, they are playing the Jazz. It's a "no win" for me.

    I know this will be hard for some of you but please give it a try. If it helps, think of which you teams you dislike the most and choose their opponent.

    One last thing, please DO NOT peek at the poll results before voting. Make your choice with a clear mind and don't let earlier voters influence you.

    I root for Spurs: texas team and I hate Paul and West for Paul's comments about Alston.

    Lakers: I have Jazz.

    The Jazz suck and I'm sick of seeing San Antonio and their flopping-type of basketball. The (newly) crowned MVP vs. the up-and-comers for me, please.

    Spurs and Lakers. I hate the Spazz and won't root for them no matter what. I don't like the Spurs much either, but I prefer them to the arrogant, self-entitled Hornets (not to mention the fact that I don't want Bonzi & MJ to advance any further).

    I picked the hornets and lakers. I hate all 4 teams, but come on. Any Rocket fan who picks the j*zz should be banned from this site. And the spurs already have 4 championships, it's time for their dynasty to end.

    I must admit, it would be kind of fun for the league (and for 80's NBA fans like myself) to see the fakers and smelltics in the Finals. Can you imagine? The more things change, the more they stay the same.

    Anyone but the spurs or j*zz.

    Pretty much how I feel. Hornets are punks, but I have no desire to see more championships for the Spurs, or the Jazz get anywhere near one.

    I will never root for the Jazz, except to lose. I like the Spurs, but the Hornets would be a fresh change.

    I hate the Jazz, and I hate the Lakers. That just makes for mad confusion.

    I respect the Spurs, and am starting to dislike New Orleans, so that one is a little easier to pick.

    Spurs and Lakers.

    Lakers so they can kill the Jazz and because I respect Kobe's game so much I want to see him get some rings without Snaq.

    Spurs because I like the team and think Popovich is the best coach in the league. Also, the more I see of Chris Paul and the way he conducts himself on the court and in some of his interviews the more I think he is the second coming of Mr. Cheapshot himself, Isiah Thomas. I would only watch Hornet games if I could be assured someone was going to punch Chris Paul in the face.

    Spurs and Lakers. Actually, I want Spurs to win it all so I can go celebrate since I have family in San Antonio.
