    none. but if I had to choose.. it would be the Thunder cause they haven't been around enough to hate yet.

    Los Angeles Lakers - they have enough rings
    Dallas Mavericks - seriously? No way I root for the Mavs. Would prefer they don't get the rock.
    Utah Jazz - Don't really hate anyone except okur, sloan, maybe boozer. Karl Malone era is a different story.
    Phoenix Suns - Used to like Amare.. now think he's a d******d.
    Denver Nuggets - don't really hate them.. don't really like em either.
    Portland Trailblazers - see above. but like what they are doing this year with the injuries.
    San Antonio Spurs - see Dallas. Can't give them another ring over what they have on us already.
    Oklahoma Thunder - my pick. pretty exciting team to watch.

    What about Cleveland? If they win a championship, Lebron will have less reasons to join the doo doo knicks.

    I also like Denver too.

    Why would anyone vote for Portland? After last season's battle against them, I dislike them.

    And I have a strong feeling that giving the Thunders a couple of years to develop, we will HATE them.

    Yep Cleveland in the East over the Suns. This way Amare and Lebron stay with them and Bosh comes with us. Also Cle over the Hawks in the conf.finals and it would be perfect for us. Joe Johnson would re up and all of New York's option except Boozer would be off the market!

    With all the injuries Portland has had this year, arguably worse than any injuries the rockets have endured this year, there's no question we should support the blazers.

    the POR series wasn't that heated, really. i dislike joel pryz, and thats about it.

    our teams are pretty similar in that neither of us can catch a break injury-wise, and their fans are some of the classiest in the league.

    You know you're a Rockets fan when the team you support in the playoffs in all likelihood won't get out of the first round...

    So I guess I'm a Rocket's fan! Go Thunder.

    I'd kind of like to see Phoenix do well because Nash is so good and they're just fun to watch. I also would kind of like the Mavs to beat the Fakers because they're the team that has the best chance to knock them off and I like Haywood and Butler from their Washington days. A lot of guys on this squad deserve to do well though I'm not particularly a Kidd fan.

    I am Cheering for the Mavs. Cause IMHO, I feel that the Mavs are the only team that could defeat the lakers. I know portland is the official 'lakers killers' but i don't think they could get past the first round. Anyway I guess I am picking the lesser of 2 evils. :)

    dirk will get eaten alive by LA frontcourt dallas suck balls

    dirk is softer than charmin tissue, Denver has the best chance if Karl comes back to rally the troops and all order will be restored..

    My vote goes to OKC because they deserve to be in the playoffs the most, arguably after the blazers. They've accomplished the most with the least. They don't have powerhouse rosters like the lakers, spurs, mavs, suns, and nuggets. The Thunder are fun to watch, they play together, and hell, Durant is from Texas!

    I'm definitely rooting for the Spurs now. After that I'll take the Dirk and the Mavs, then Steve Nash and the Suns. I'd like to see Dirk and Nash win a title one day.
