    I hope an Eastern team wins. Especially Philly, I've got some ties back in the City of BL.

    Root for the Mavs. Cuban not such a bad guy. If you were the owner of the Rocks, how would you act?
    Besides, there is a team that can actually run a fast break, and Novitski was the best thing to happen to B-Ball before a man named Ming.

    46 points, baby!

    ---But afterward, the talk was all about Nowitzki.

    "I told him at the end of regulation that he will eventually be one of the best all-around players to ever play the game,'' Dallas coach Don Nelson said. "He will eventually be able to do the things that Larry Bird did. That's my vision of him.''---

    God what is this, the apocalypse?

    Go away, Jazz fans. Or at least repent.

    Anyone but the Jazz, Spers, Lakers and Mavs. In that order.

    I hated Sac last year, but I hope they win it this year. Probably dont hate em as much because we did beat them twice this year.

    Spurs, I want them to tear the suns apart. Though, it is not happening so far. :(

    I think my first choice would have to be Detroit. I want them to win, because they gain no media and very little popular attention outsided their market. I like that in a team, and the Rockets faced that to a certain degree back in the 90's.

    If not the Pistons, then anyone other than the Lakers, Suns and Jazz.

    I would love for Stockton to retire with a big fat goose egg in the championship category.

    I kind of don't want Dallas to win either, but it wouldn't totally break my heart if they did.

    I wouldn't be constantly doing things on purpose to draw attention to me. Nor would I constantly b**** and whine. Your team loses because they are softer than tissue, not because of the refs.

    :rolleyes:

    Someone please slap me. Why do I seem to agree with kidrock on quite a few things nowadays?

    The Mavs are about as soft as they come. Absolutely no interior defense or offense for that matter. They have loads of talent they could have traded during the trading deadline, but yet refused to bring in a post banger.

    I enjoy watching Mcgrady play so it'd be cool for the Magic to play a few more series, but I want an eastern conference team to win it all and they probably dont have the size to compete with a western conference team. But Indiana is pretty fun to watch and that may be the team with the best shot to beat a western conference team so - Go Pacers!

    This simple:

    Rockets
    And anyone playing the Lakers

    But I would LOVE seeing an all-Texas western conference final.

    P.S. Answer this for me: Why all the hostility towards the Spurs, one of the winningest franchises in basketball? I have some friends that bleed silver and black and they are fun to talk with, so why all the hostility?

    PS-I have been to SA before and in my opinion it is not a dump.

    I'm rooting for Phoenix. I love the underdog. Plus, they beat the SPURS baby!!! Maybe it's the water in San Antonio or something, but the Spurs will always be soft and fold in the clutch.

    I agree 100% with this post. HATE THE JAZZ and the LAKERS... maybe the Spurs, too, after I saw them beat us at home... but I hate the JAZZ more. I respect the Suns, though.
