lifelong mavs fan who generally hates the spurs, but if they end up playing the heat in the finals i will be 100% behind them. i dislike the spurs because they are rivals. i dislike the heat because they are bit&^$es.

Mavs fan. Rooting for the spurs and Duncan all the way.

Bond, the owner lied to people's faces. He was caught red handed with e-mails saying he was trying to move the team to OKC. He got called out on it and said his #1 priority was keeping the team in Seattle. The plan the entire time was to move the team to OKC.

I have seriously mixed emotions this year. I will root for anyone but Miami. I would root for the Thunder, but my best friend in high school was a Sonics fan and the way the owner handled the move (as mentioned above) was despicable. So I hesitate there. I can't stand the Celtics (outside of Ray Allen, due to the whole friend being a Sonics fan thing), so they are definitely out. Used to cheer for the Pacers when Reggie Miller played there, but they've seemed rather thuggish so far. And I couldn't probably name a player on the Sixers right now (simply because I've stopped following the league as much).

I guess that just leaves me where I started - anyone but Miami. Even the Spurs.

Mavs fan rooting for OKC to win the title or hell even Miami over San Mex. With that said, I would gladly root for the Rockets if they make it to the Finals in the coming years. Rooted for them as a kid during the mid to late 1990's.

Once dirk retires in a few years, you will be free to jump on the durant bandwagon!

To be fair I was like 6 or 7 when the Rockets were winning those titles and it that age it's pretty natural to be a bandwagoner. Suck or not... I'll always be loyal to the Mavs unless Cuban turns into Jerry Jones. I have no second favorite team. Just teams I want to see fail more than the others.

I'm a rockets fan and hell will freeze over before I root for Dallas or SA

Although I haven't always seen eye to eye with you token I will applaud you on the fact that you're a true fan like myself. No true fan EVER roots for a rival.

damn right, man. I don't root for any team that's not the rockets. I live and die by them. Hell, last year, i skipped work for 2 days so i could see them play in NYC, NJ and Philly in a 4 day stretch

Red ass sir

If Boston makes it to the Eastern finals, I will root another work stoppage before the Finals begin.

BTW Houston isn't our rival (Dallas)... at this point they're are more or less a mere whipping boy.

Didn't you grow up a rockets fan? You have no say in this

I said I rooted for the Rockets when they made it to the Finals in 1994 and 1995 and then again when they played the Jazz in the WCF (hate Karl Malone). Rooting for them doesnt make me a fan. Especially since I was all of 5 years old in 1994. Kids are bandwagons fans. I've been a huge Mavs homer since the late 90's and grew up in the area.

Like I've said I'm just rooting for the lesser of two evils at this points. The Spurs are a much greater evil than OKC or Miami if you're a Mavs fan. With 2011 the 2006 series has been forgotten.

Last year was the first year this Spurs fan rooted all out for Dallas. What Dirk did last year was in my opinion the single greatest sports feat (taken together) in basketball, ever.

I was also rooting for them against the Thunder- I think they finally wore down mentally after two unbelievably wrenching losses.

Jordan's one game playing with the flu and a 102 degree fever eclipses anything dirk did last year

I love Dirk and while he was clutch down the stretch he still shot 6 of 19 in that game with only 21 points. Jordan shot almost 50 percent, had 38 points, and was much sicker. It's not even close.

hatred is just an external expression of the internal jealousy you feel

What a cute thread patag

I've adjusted my opinion. I just can't root for the Spurs. I tried and its not working. I hate OKC and I hate Miami, but it does not overcome the vast hatred I have for the Spurs.

you people are pathetic

I'm more or less rooting for Shane Battier
