Magic for me although they are probably headed out. I probably won't be watching much more playoffs if the Rockets lose and Magic get knocked out because I hate the remaining teams. Can't stand Celtics, Nuggets and Lakers for their dirtyness and wannabe Thug Gansta types (sorry I can't root for a player that throws a cheap punch then back peddles away from Nate Robinson) and Cleveland I just can't stand because of the media love... makes me dislike any team when they are way over hyped.
I hope the Nuggets win if we get beat by the Lakers. I am alwasy one to go for the underdog, plus Billups deserves more recognision as the best point guard in the league behind Chris Paul.
I'll root for the Nuggets. Not a big fan of Lebron. Whenever ESPN hangs on somebodies junk and fawns over them endlessly, I tend to go the other direction. Nothing against Lebron, I just don't want to see what ESPN is going to be like if the Cavs win.
I'd like to see Denver vs. Orlando, just to piss off the NBA executives who are praying for LeBron vs. Kobe.
ill be rooting for the nugs .... i do not want LA to win it, and id prefer cleveland not win it all either. i am not ready for the reign of king james.
I know this is the logic for a lot of fan's rooting for the nuggets, but seriously Billups leads a group of thugs and crybabies. How in the world would anyone root for them? Then George Karl's about as personable as a bridge troll.
If the Nuggets beats the Lakers, that will only diminish the Rockets in the public eye. I'm not down with that. I want the Lakers to get to the Finals, and I want to see Kobe vs LeBron. Two of the most exciting players of this generation in an NBA Championship Series -- how can anyone not want to see that? And in the end, I hope LeBron and the Cavs win it.
Ditto, go Magic. If they lose, sure I'll hop on the Cavs bandwagon though probably won't watch too much.
I respect Lebron as a player and he is an unbelievable talent but I can't stand all his nuthuggers that have no knowledge of basketball and boast about him. I don't know who to root for but I guess I'll pull for the Nuggets even though I'm not a huge fan.
I wanna see Boston vs Denver. If it does come down to Cleveland-LA, I will laugh my ass off when LeBron gets more calls than LA.
I'm done with the playoffs once the Rockets are out. Even if I'm neutral about all teams that don't feature Lebron/Kobe, there's no team I really care about. Should our season end in a few hours, I'm immediately switching to off-season mode.
