Help me pick an NBA team

cookieb · #1 09-22-2006, 11:49 PM

A bit about me-

I was a fan of Golden State in the Run TMC days

Live in Virginia, so the Wizards might be a choice, I love Arenas

Other players I like, in no particular order- Shaq, Lebron, Wade, Kirilenko, Brand, Duncan, Garnett, Yao, AI, Ray Allen, Dwight Howard, Chris Bosh

Love the ACC, hate Maryland

Help me decide what team to root for, convince me your team is the team, Wizards are the early leaders, I guarantee a visit to a game played ny the team I root for an an undying live for them

I don't want you to root for my team...you cant just pick a team! if you rooted for gs in the early days you shouldnt stop.

May I suggest the Toronto Raptors. A young team with a decent upside, plus Colangelo seems to have a magic touch. Added bonus: You get to claim you have culture because you cheer for a foreign team.

It ok to stop rooting for the trailblazers?

Not a foreign team, just a foreign sport. Besides which, we cut the hole in the peach basket first. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Bosh's solid, and he's committed to the build. Colangelo's going to bring an awesome focus to the franchise. And the corpration has deep pockets. I predict a 2-year resteal of the title within the decade. This Euro commitment in the early development might very well reap a gem like Nowitziki.

I HATE this attitude. The Warriors are doing nothing to improve their franchise, have the worst best player in the league (J-Rich), have two horrible, overpaid white guys (Murphy and Dunleavy), and they continue to let Baron Davis launch 6 threes per game at a 31 percent clip. What loyalty have the Warriors shown to their fans? If i were a Warriors fan, I would boycott the team compmletely until Mullin were fired as GM, and something was done to turn around that franchise.

I can see being a fan of a certain player, but being a fan of... the colors on the uniforms? That makes no sense to me.

Teams aren't bound to one location, they change their players, coaches, and owners regularly, and even build new stadiums. Hell, they even change the colors of their uniforms at times.

Why on earth would anyone be a fan of a certain team?

Thought I explained why this doesn't really fit. Cliff Notes- That was 15 years ago and haven't closely followed the NBA since
