NBA finals - who to root for?

[catland]

It's a difficult time to be from Portland, Oregon. LA Lakers are our arch-enemies (thank's to all the drubbings they've given us in play-offs in the past), but this year, the Detroit Pistons are benefiting from our Trailblazer cast-off, Rasheed Wallace, who was known as a trouble-maker in these parts and who many in town were glad to see traded earlier this season.

So that pretty much leaves no one to root for.:eek:

[DJFyrewolf36]

I'm a Kings fan...I don't think Im allowed to root for LA lol

[RICHARD]

I'll ignore the vote for the Pistons.......;)

[DJFyrewolf36]

Richard :(
Hey, my favorite team kind of stinks (Boston) so I have to root for SOMEBODY, besides I think its a requirement for us Celtic fans to root for ABLA *anyone but LA lol*
That and I live closer to Sacramento...I picked up the Kings virus :D
LA has won a lot anyhow...shouldnt someone else get a turn? :D

Don't ask me, I only play couch basketball.

I drink a six pack and dribble all over myself.;) :p :confused: :rolleyes:

[DJFyrewolf36]

I play couch basketball too...cept it only takes a three pack for me to dribble all over myself!

[Logan]

Go Lakers!!!!! :) Even in the South, Helen and I are huge Laker's fans! Helen has Laker's posters all over her room, and even an autographed Shaq Jersey in a frame!!! :D We MUST pull for the Lakers!!!!!!

[Cincy'sMom]

I have been a Bulls fan for years, and a Kenyon Martin fan since his days at Cincy (He plays for the Nets who the Pistons knocked out), but I have to go with the Piston's anyway. I'm only an hour from Detroit...gotta root for the "home" team!

[moosmom]

PISTONS all the way!!!

[RICHARD]

They should start the games at the usual 7:30
Pacific time...;)

[RICHARD]

:eek:

[ramanth]

Pulling for the Pistons. :) Though I admit I haven't watched a single game. *laughs*

Besides...isn't Kobe supposed to be in jail? :p :D

You may be right, especially since I never followed the case. :) It just peeves me that IF he did, the most celebrities ever seem to get is a slap on the wrist and a "don't do that again, okay?"

:rolleyes: :mad: :(

Oiy.

[RICHARD]

Good Luck to everyone tonight!

[Logan]

Who was that team pretending to be the Lakers last night??? :eek: Imposters, I say!!!!! :p

[ramanth]

:D

[aly]

I'm going for the Pistons all the way. Its been quite exciting!

[Catsnclay]

My husband & I have a bet going, he says Kobe is going to jail for a long time. :eek:

Me.....if he gets a day in jail I will be surprised...:mad: remember he has big bucks behind him, and the *rules* are different for him, both on and off the court.

We are Phoenix Suns fans, so we root for anyone BUT the Lakers!! :D

[ramanth]

:D

[Logan]

OK, I still think they will come back, even though I fell asleep during last night's game!!! Hehehe!!!

Go Lakers!!!!!!!

[katienoonan]

OF course that would be the Detroit Pistons(I'm from Michigan)

You are still my hero!:)

[Logan]

I tried, Richard!!!!!! :o

[RICHARD]

Dear Piston fans.

You broke my mother's heart and made her cry..

I spoke to her on Sunday and she said that she cried that the Lakers lost. I thought she was joking until I asked her again......

Yep, She admitted to crying because her team lost..I hope you all are satisfied that crushed a woman's heart and ruined her summer.:p

[Freckles]

Richard, with all the staff & team changes, I think she'll be crying next year too.:(

[ramanth]

Tell her to tell her team that they should learn some manners. Maybe if they didn't talk so much trash and actually tried playing as a team then they might of won. :)

[RICHARD]

Freckles,

Thanks.....
She pretty upset.

I guess that means the rest of the league will have to learn another cheer besides, "Beat L.A.".


I wonder if they are up to a multi-syllabalic challenge.

:confused:

hee-hee. One of my co-workers - a rabid Blazers fan - put her "BEAT LA" sign above her computer monitor. She hangs on to her sign and brings it out every year duriing play-off season. I can see it from my desk.;)

I hope it's gone for the summer.... ;)

And I hope we were a bit of sunshine in her otherwise drab NBA season....
