It really is true. I don't hate a single team that is East of Houston the way I hate the ones West of us.
Quite a few: 4. Phoenix - trash team thinking they are something, Amare think his 19 PPG on a flopping team is something. 3. Memphis - see Phoenix, but with one of the whiniest players in the league in Gasol. 2. Jazz - no explainations needed, but I'll take pleasure in the fact that they won't be anywhere near us at least for the next few years 1. Lakers - is there a single team with more whiners (even after they get all the calls), a coatail riding coach AND the stupidest fans any where???!!! Try say something other than the "Lakers aren't the greatest team" and give them a detailed analysis on LG and you'll be bashed, told you are an idiot and subsequently banned so you cannot make another argument, so it makes it look as if you were silenced by their moronic arguments and can't make a comeback.
Jazz, that or any other team Karl Malone is on or will ever be on. Plus i hate Carlos Boozer, but i like Jerry Sloan he's a good coach.
I have historically hated the Lakers most followed by the Sonics. But I hate teams that are given calls like the Bulls of the late 90's (second three-peat not the first).
The Lakers. Can't stand Kobe Bryant. Also hate any team with Karl Malone. Hope he stays on Lakers so I can hate them more, just putting Rudy T over in LA is hard to root against Rudy.
Most of my hate resulted from dispicable tactics in high stakes games. I used to hate the Jazz with Karla and the Gangsta. I used to hate the Sonix and George Carl's illegal Zone. I used to hate Hanzlik. Somehow I still respect Shaq even though his only 'skill' is the bullrush ( I guess because he's from Texas) I don't hate Cuban because I'd be just like him if I had 2 billion dollars. The Spurs? Man thay are a great organization, I respect the hell out of them. Phoenix? We have owned Phoenix ever since the kiss of death. So at present, I only hate the Lakers and that will probably turn to pity as soon as I see Rudy's hound dog look after they lose a bunch of games and the glitteratti turn on him instead of KobMe. But I look forward to developing some new hate when the Rox advance to some games that really mean something.
