    i want the pacers and the j*zz to make it to the finals and then for the pacers to sweep them. I want to hit the Comi$$ar where it hurts, lowest rated final and no "stars".
    It's personal now.

    it will probably be Spurs/lakers v Chicago though.

    Spurs, Spurs, Spurs. They are an embodiment of what a real organization should be like, for all sports. From management to coach Pop to their superstar, Tim Duncan. Hope they go all the way, but I've been disappointed before. So I won't expect.

    I'm surprised no one wants the Pacers to win. They have a team full of likable, overachieving guys. Took their team all the way to the third seed. I'm rooting for them to win it all.

    Hawks! Let's hope T-Mac can take them to the promise land.

    Despite me hoping all year NY wouldnt get to the playoffs, now that they are there i want them to beat the pants off of the Heat. And then lose in 4 games in the 2nd round :)

    Definitely cheering for the Indiana Pacers and the Memphis Grizzlies. Both squads are built as a team rather than a revolving door structure built around multiple stars. They play gritty defense, are having their best years in a decade, and have not yet won a championship.

    The Heat. It's about time the best player in the league the past few seasons got a ring.

    Though I never lived in Houston, I root for Houston teams first, Texas teams second. I don't consider Dallas a part of Texas, so that leaves the Spurs. Like Outlier said, class organization, plus they're not dirty and we've beat them during Championship runs that counted...so no hate.

    Small market teams winning it all also angers Stern, another plus for the spurs.

    I'm tired of hearing about the same teams over and over again. So my vote goes to the Grizz or Pacers. Go no-name teams!

    And Westbrook is going to show the world how truly overrated he is as a point guard when the Thunder get knocked out in the second round by the Lakers/Nuggets.

    With Rose(& the Bulls) likely done, I just lost interest. So go Spurs...or whatever.

    I dislike many West teams...

    I'm probably going to be rooting for the Clippers.

    Pacers in the east.

    Noooo. Don't root for the Floppers. :(

    Other than the Grizzlies, I like the Spurs. Nobody in the East, really. Maybe the Magic.

    Don't really care. I'll take anybody but Utah, Dallas, LA Fakers or Miami.
