Personally, I have been and still am an A.B.M. (Anyone But Miami) guy since LeDouche took his talents took South Beach. I loved the way San Antonio played tough in the playoffs last year, love that they are a class organization that continues to maximize all their assets, and managed to get younger guys to step up just as the "big-3" are slowing down. Maybe not a big reach, but I'm routing for them.

As for biggest upset, maybe not a shocker, but I could easily see Brooklyn take out Toronto in the first round. They've been a much better team than their record since the All-Star break.
And nothing like a little success in BK to focus the Knicks minds next year, and hopefully keep lil' Jimmy to his promise that he'll keep out and let basketball minds run the show.

Seeing the Nets playing right now makes me want to set my head on fire. I do not want them advancing.

Not sure if the Heat have enough in the tank to win it again. Wade continues to slip, and Bosh for some reason has been relegated to a 6'9 tree point shooter. If the Heat are going to win another one, Bosh has to become a legit second option. He needs touches inside the three point line. Ultimately, I think the Spurs avenge last yrs defeat and wins the 'chip this year.....

It's bandwagoning- there was none of this Nets support talk when the Nets were looking awful at the start of the season.

I think the jilted Knick fans (the usual suspects on this site who jump in every thread to sh!t all over this team especially since Melo arrived) are pulling for the Nyets just stick it to the Knicks ...and its fans...

Props for what? This team has been bad to mediocre for a decade now (with the exception of last season). Every fringe to die hard fan knows this roster is uneven and is not very talented. So, on a logical level, predicting that this team will finish with with an average to slightly below average record is easy.

The problem that you and some others have is that you cannot apply logic to being a FANatic. Their is nothing logical about being a Fan. Fans hope, root, pray for their teams to do the impossible (whihc does happen on rare occasions). It was a beautiful scene in Toronto yesterday, a packed house of fans hoping and rooting for their favorite team to win. But if they were using logic, the place should be 3/4's empty because logic says that Nyets are better and logic says there is no way Rapts will advance....

So, you want props for stating the obvious...Here you go....

So it's beautiful to see fans root on their team in Canada, but in Brooklyn it's a travesty?

Okie doke. Fluck me and my borough of residence I guess.

If you love the nets so much just become a nets fan, you've been posting about your love for them non-stop and salivating over the ghost of Paul pierce. For real just become a Nets fan already.
