Who are you rooting for now? - Dallas-Mavs.com Forums

StackAttack · 05-04-2007, 08:05 AM

The other two teams from Texas? The fun-to-watch Suns? The Warriors (face it, you'd feel a ton better about losing to them if they upset every other team as well)? Or a team from the East?

The Bulls for me.

jthig32 · 05-04-2007, 08:07 AM

Why would I feel a ton better if the Warriors continued to win? I don't get that.

I have zero rooting interests now, other than I hope neither the Spurs or the Suns win, which is pretty futile.

Lor20 · 05-04-2007, 08:08 AM

im kinda hoping for the bulls, but not really rooting for anyone

TXS · 05-04-2007, 08:08 AM

Might have to pick a team in the east to pull for. I can't stand watching any of the remaining teams in the west win it.

Dirkadirkastan · 05-04-2007, 08:23 AM

A good friend of mine is from Detroit... *shrug*

Big Boy Laroux · 05-04-2007, 08:24 AM

i wish the warrior players weren't a bunch of jackasses. because truthfully, i would be pulling for them. they are fun to watch (like the mavs of old). but good lord, i want to punch baron davis every time i see him - especially after that crap with croshere last night.

My dad's a huge Chicago fan... he grew up there. Go Bulls.

Matt Barnes too. Commits a flagrant foul against our freaking rookie of all people with a 20 point lead and two minutes away from their first playoff win in over a decade.

I wish complete and utter failure on that team.

Dtownsfinest · 05-04-2007, 08:41 AM

Huge Finley fan so I hope he gets his ring. Him or Nash. Doesn't matter to me. Its going to hard for me to be able to watch basketball. Something inside me hopes that the Warriors were just so damn good that they make it to the WCF or even better the Finals. But sadly, they may not win another game because Utah and Houston actually play defense and don't let teams with 40 wins dictate the speed of the game.

Stylistic · 05-04-2007, 08:45 AM

D. I wont watch.

shaw-xx · 05-04-2007, 08:46 AM

Who cares... OK, not the Suns and Rox...

Dirkadirkastan · 05-04-2007, 08:51 AM

Those Warts bitches will be eliminated at home. In Game 4. Mark my words.

sike · 05-04-2007, 08:54 AM

one team: the dallas cowboys

left texas · 05-04-2007, 08:58 AM

I don't believe I will watch another game until next year. It is like the life has been sucked right out of me, riding a tidal wave of enthusiasm for 82 games, and now this. Makes me wish I could just be a bandwagoneer, but alas I just can't. Well, now I will have yard work and golf to help ease the pain, and just a few months till football; then you know it will be back to basketball for another season.

Henry_VIII · 05-04-2007, 09:00 AM

I'm rooting for SA now

Mavfreak · 05-04-2007, 09:03 AM

I believe the Spurs will win it all. With the Mavs out of the picture, I'm really not cheering for any team, yet. As the playoffs continue I'll probably get excited about one of the western teams. The Suns are fun to watch. The next round will be very entertaining. I am going to enjoy the rest of this post season and I'll be sad when it ends. The Mavs need a point guard who can run the offense. Terry is a good player, but he does not make things happen on the court. He has no deception, or misdirection to his play like Nash, Kid, Magic, etc. Dirk had a mediocre series, but he is not responsible for the losses. Avery could not find the right mixture, the shots would not drop, the officiating was sloppy, the players did a lot of standing around, and they were simply out hustled by their opponents. Mark Cuban needs to give more control to the coaching staff, and not be so pouty when the team loses. I like Cuban, but it's still hard for me to forgive him for losing Nash, Nellie, Bell, and many other talented guys . The league is filled with great players rejected by the Mavs. Mr. Cuban needs to recognize quality, put a team together, and stick with it long enough to win a trophy. He lets the fickle fans, and the media dictate the value of his players. Maybe next year.....

Wurzburg · 05-04-2007, 09:09 AM

I would like GS to win because that means Dallas losing is less dramatic and that they are not really an 8th seed

Mavfreak · 05-04-2007, 09:27 AM

If the Warriors continue playing at the highest level they could win it all. I believe the Spurs, or the Suns will prevail.

EricaLubarsky · 05-04-2007, 09:31 AM

spurs, utah to beat rockets, and still hoping the mavs can go all the way

Spurs would sweep the Warriors blindfolded. The Spurs can actually execute a well thought out game plan, and it doesn't take a complicated plan to beat out this team.

Do you also ask the bereaved spouse at a funeral who they're planning to marry next?

It's too soon.

Bathouse Bear · 05-04-2007, 10:02 AM

Suns or Detroit.

I would be sick to my stomach if the Spurs won it all.

I would probably like the Pistons to win it the most.

mary · 05-04-2007, 10:05 AM

Even though Toronto is about to be eliminated, I'd pull for them.

I wouldn't mind if the Bulls won.

From the West: My brother is a Rockets fan...what makes him happy, makes me happy too.

If the Rockets get knocked out....even though they are a bunch of classless jackasses.....the Warriors.

Yes, I really do not want the Spurs or Suns to win this year.

Sue me.

alexamenos · 05-04-2007, 10:08 AM

spurs.

endrity · 05-04-2007, 10:15 AM

No one, maybe detroit

xavier · 05-04-2007, 10:36 AM

i rather die a very slow death than cheer for the spurs. suns will win the championship

DevinFuture · 05-04-2007, 10:50 AM

Warriors? Bunch of thugs that just beat the Mavs.
Spurs? Too much of a Mavs rival.
Suns? I really don't want to see Nash get a title before Dirk.
Jazz? No way I root for Sloan and his thugs
Nets? I hate Vince Carter.
Raptors? Easy to root for; hard to believe in this year.
Cavs? I refuse to root for a one-player team.
Rockets? Maybe
Pistons? Maybe
Bulls? Yes! Luol Deng is breaking out and he seems to be a great guy too. Best team in Chicago since Jordan left. I'll go with the Bulls.

Dirkadirkastan · 05-04-2007, 10:51 AM

^Agreed. If we don't get the trophy, nobody in the West gets it.

mkat · 05-04-2007, 11:21 AM

i'd say either the spurs or the suns. doesn't particularly matter. i could never root for an east team.

honestly, i'd like to see Nash win one. not the rest of them, but Nash.
