This is you right now, lol.

Seven years of being trash and we still live in your heads. THAT'S why the Clippers will never be able to take LA.

Ha, its true. I prefer the Lakers being good, however. Its more fun that way, if we do happen to some how beat them. I was actually really looking forward to them growing some new stars and developing a young team, before Lebron happened. I'll never root for the Lakers, but love to root against them.

I have so missed getting to play the heel.

I'm watching some games to see who I want to win. I just watched the Pacers and Heat and now I'm watching Clippers/OKC. No favorites yet but I still have time. I like Lebron but cheering for the Lakers feels like cheering for the bad guys plus I never cheer for the best team unless it's my team  

Is the shot clock resetting to 14 instead of 24 a new thing? It's been throwing me off a little bit

Clippers are resting all their best guys. It makes sense but I'm counting it against them when it comes to my support. I want to see the best guys!

[Pooker]

Shot clock has been resetting to 14 for a few years now. Bit of a change, but speeds up the game some.

Guess it depends on what kind of basketball you like to watch. Team ball? Defense? Hero Ball? Kawhi do it all?

The Mavericks are the best choice, obviously!

[KJE]

Why not go north? Raptors are the best and you'll look smart picking them now once they win it all.

[Your Mom]

I cheered for the Raptors last year. Even though I like them a lot I feel like I should spread the love around. Mavs might be a good one. Luka is really fun to watch plus I like cheering for an underdog

[Maxx]

@Your Mom here’s a helpful flowchart 

[Pooker]

According to that flowchart, I should be rooting for the Clippers or the Mavs.

[GhostMachine]

None of the final answers really come close to me, but the chart would point me closest to the Memphis Grizzlies......

I do not go anywhere without a mask any more.

The Mavs aren't really underdogs, though!

Denver, Toronto, Miami and Portland are who I'm all in for. All have super likable stars (Jokic, Spicy P, Butler and Bam, Dame) and all are legitimate underdogs who aren't given much of a chance of winning the whole thing. 

[GhostMachine]

My stepson is a Trailblazers fan, so i hope they do well. (Not sure when he switched allegiances, but he used to be a Hornets fan....)

[Pooker]

Jimmy Butler is likeable?

Toronto are the defending champions, they have won the second most games this year, and are 2 seed. In what world are they underdogs?

But yet Dallas, a 7 seed in the West isn’t an underdog?

Jimmy Buckets has always been likeable.

 

[Chris2K]

Supporting the Bucks for a couple of months is fine for me I guess (although I substituted Mortal Kombat for Street Fighter in the "what game have you been playing" question). It's near Minnesota if nothing else.

Well, that's everyone on EWB rooting against the Trailblazers now

Likeable seems like a stretch but he definitely has personality.

Giannis is winning the East.

... Yes?

I agree he is the favourite, but if there is any coach that can stop him (and has the team to stop him) I believe it's Nick Nurse.
