We're all diehard Knick fans but what team will you be rooting for on the side? Why so?

Probably the Warriors. Gotta love David Lee. And it doesn't hurt that they have Steph Curry, Allan Houston Lite and now Iggy, including others... aaaand they added Toney DWTDD Douglas!

But I'm also intrigued to see new teams like Houston, Detroit, Nyets, Pelicans. The Lakers too actually. It'll be refreshing to see them run without Kobe.

Nets. Old roots go way back to the ABA, Long Island and from Brooklyn as a kid.
NY first before others. Same way I pull for Yanks-Then Mets. Giants-then Jets. Rangers before Isle althought was a big fan of team when I lived on Long Island in High school and they won 4 cups in a row. They were a big deal!

Some "interesting teams" which I'll look in on with league pass like Spurs (the right way), Golden State (Dlee and curry), Rockets (Lin and those other guys) and The Knuggs with Gallo-Wilson-Moz.

Knicks before Nets but if Knicks eliminated in playoffs and Nets still going, I'll pull for them. I root for the knicks but will "pull" for the Nets. I'd rather Nets bring NYC a championship than another in Chicago or Miami.

Nets, lived in NJ, Brooklyn and LI. Besides I know everyone will be rooting for the Nets vs Heat. There is so much to like about the Nets.

Warriors are always fun to watch. I root for the grizzlies also because I like Zach Randolph but they're kind of boring. Nuggets were exciting, but I couldn't care less if they win or lose.

So much to like about the nets? Douchebag small forward, douchebag power forward, annoying childish catchphrases like "we takin' ova", the monotone zombie-like way they chant "Brooklyn" like a bunch of drones, bandwagon hipsters, an asswipe of an owner, and a stadium that looks like a penitentiary from the inside!

So much to love!

For some reason, unknown to even myself, I'm looking forward to watching the terribly named Pelicans. I don't like Eric Gordon, but I do like Anthony Davis and Jrue Holiday. I'm Curious to see if Tyreke Evans can actually be a good player.I don't think Ryan Anderson will have a good year- think he'll be dealing with grief from his girlfriends suicide for most of the season.

I've been wondering if the Warriors have been overhyped- they were pretty average in the regular season, had a big slump in the midst of it, then beat an injury depleted Nuggets team. It was fun and exciting at the time, but looking back it's not really that big of an accomplishment. Plus Landry and Jarrett Jack were important parts of that team, now they're gone. Does Iggy really fit? (I've never been a fan of his). It'll be interesting to find out...

Your right, but I have yet to see him play in brooklyn so it will be weird. KG is nearly as hard to "pull for".

Maybe a play on words but to me "root" and "pull" different.

Unce upon a time Melo was a punk cheap shot artist that was disliked by knick fans. Artest was a nut job (but from NY and ST jOhns so he gets a pass!), Rashweed was one of the most obnoxious players in the league and Z-Bo in portland was a punk. When knicks they become OK? So given that, I have learned to adapt.

Thru Reggie Miller I learned to not just hate on a player, but respect the body of work as well. Reggie almost became a knick and that would have been cool with most. Hated Jordan but mad respect and hoped he would be a knick, and same for Lebron.

I don't love Melo but he is a knick and I root for him.

With the new CBA more players will be moving year to year and for the most part because of this, and AAU there are few players that hate each other and rivalries that have any intensity anymore.

Nets depth makes them very interesting.

You like Melo you like JR Smith, these were Douchebags before they became Knicks players. You remember Melo with the sucker punch, JR still a douchebag but they are our douchebags.

Yeah, part of being a basketball fan is adapting when a player you don't like ends up on your team (Keith Van Horn!)- if it's any consolation, hopefully KG and Paul Pierce spend so much time injured, it won't even be an issue for you!

I won't be "rooting" for the Warriors, but I will definitely be watching that team play. They should an absolute joy to watch
