    I don't want the Warriors to get their ball$ sucked by the media anymore than they already have and I can't stand Cuban so they both need to go down and get dropped by the Heat which is who I'm pulling for.

    This warriors team is a shell of what harden faced, if this was the kd warriors luke would lose in 4-5 and would be drawing completely dead. Curry is worse now, klay is way worse, green is little worse, and it’s wiggins instead of KD, plus no iggy on defense

    It's true that this is a watered down version of the behemoth that Harden faced but it's not like Luka has a 17/18 Rockets roster either. He and the Mavericks had to wait until a Game 7 for Dinwiddie to show up.

    Of course not, the 2018 rockets are one of the top 4-5 teams of the last decade. But the gap between this warriors team and the peak KD warriors is massive

    I'm very surprised of the results. Houston Rockets fans willing to allow another Texas team to possibly even up the score in NBA titles? It's already bad enough Dallas fans discredit us because our titles were so long ago, but to have them even it up AND have more recent titles. I'll never hear the end of it. I already can't take the Dirk>>Hakeem arguments just because he did it "alone" like hakeem but against the best player in the league (lebron). I'm highly disappointed in clutchfans. Shame on ya'll hahahaha

    Eastern Conference sweep. Each game by at least double digits.
    I don't even care which team from the East or which team from the West.

    Mavs, easily. The fun and novelty of the Warriors has worn off. Dallas has an awesome defense and Luka is fun to watch.

    The Rockets are hardly an NBA team right now so I have no issue with wanting the Mavs to win an NBA game.

    Luka won my heart against Phoenix. I think I’ll always respect the Mavs for his career as long as he isn’t playing us

    Besides I’m Texas born & raised. Bring this **** home Luka

    Lol half of Texas are people from California or Mexico or India or Asia
    Root for whomever you want , but keep the rockets up at the top

    also the dumb Texans were made because the city of Houston and the owners didn’t get along. It took Former rockets GM Steve Patterson and McNair to get the nfl to invest in Houston again

    also the oilers were always the pure NFL team
    Warren Moon wasn’t the greatest guy but didn’t get cheap hoes from massage ads on Instagram

    and the cowboys were in the league when Houston had no team after the oilers left
    Can’t blame fans, they were the only show in the state

    People cheering for one team is not the same as cheering for their fanbase
    Plus people are tired of the warriors and rockets fans hate the Celtics
    I remember what happened to Ralph

    I’m rooting for Miami

    Miami is the only way to go at this point for myself. I wouldn't root for Boston either because of the 80s. Yep it goes back that far hahaha. Sports grudges last forever!

    it's interesting, for me the rockets are always #1 and i root for what's best for the rockets in any and all situations. However, the #2-30 always change. I NEVER in my life thought i'd hate a team more then the stockton/malone jazz, yet i hate the warriors more. They are everything i hated about those jazz teams and more. I rooted like crazy for miami to beat dallas in 06 (even though watching that series you could tell it was fixed), and yet i rooted like crazy for dallas to beat miami in 2011.

    I don't see the Mavs as a rival team at all. We've barely played them in the playoffs since they had freaking Michael Findley and the time we did we smashed them with the Dwight Smoove pick and roll.

    I hate the LAKERS, Warriors, Jazz, Clippers(kinda). Mavs are aight. Luka alone would erase any old hate I may have had. I honestly couldn't care less about regional rivalries like so what if they're in the same state?

    Mavs won in 2011 and it didn’t affect me one bit

    I hate the warriors. Andrew bogut already exposed their alleged “dynasty”
