Who is your second favorite team?

Miami is pretty cool aswell, only cause of Wade though.

and I would say that I enjoy watching the Oklahoma City Thunder. They have a really fun young core of Durantula, Green & Westbrook and when you add Harden into the mix…. they should be fun to watch this year. The team is young, athletic & they can score….. kinda like the Warriors #2.

On the other hand here are my top 5 worst teams to watch……
5.) Detroit Pistons
4.) Cleveland Cavaliers (with no Lebron they are #1)
3.) Indiana Pacers
2.) Utah Jazz (except for Deron)
1.) San Antonio Spurs (aka bore ball)

right now its probably OKC. I’m a sucker for young, unproven talent, but I’m really looking forward to watching them this year. There’s just a whole lot of guys on that team that I wish were Warriors.
- Westbrook is basically the guard version of Anthony Randolph with his ridiculous size/athleticism/skillset package.
-Durant’s lack of any contribution at the defensive end is holding him back from being one of the league’s best players but he’s ridiculously fun to watch too.
-I’ve always kinda like Thabo Sefolosha and he seems like a nice fit on the wing with Durant
-Ditto for Kyle Weaver, I was a huge fan of his when he was playing WSU, a guy I really wanted to see in a Warriors uni.
-I’m interested to see if Harden is really as ready to contribute at the NBA level as everyone says he is.
-Serge Ibaka is another guy I really want to see play in the NBA, he probably won’t contribute anything more than a few highlight reel dunks/blocks for at least the next couple years, but he could be fun to watch.
-I’ve always been a sucker for Livingston’s size/passing combination.
-I’m not really convinced any of Krstic, Collison, Mullens, or Swift are starting quality NBA big men, but if even one of them is that team could get really good really fast.
-Jeff Green is actually not a guy I’m real high on, but a lot of other people who know a lot about basketball like him a lot, so I probably shouldn’t leave him out.

there’s just a ton of flexibility and athleticism and fun in that lineup-
PG-Westbrook/Livingston/Weaver
SG-Harden/Sefolosha/Westbrook/Weaver
SF-Durant/Sefolosha/Green
PF-Green/Collison/Ibaka
C-Krstic/Collison/Mullens/Swift

I like watching them too, and you are right, Durant’s lack of defense is so painful for someone with his talent that it is completely inexcuseable. If he changes that, I may be pursuaded to watch them more often

I’d say the Magic are probably my second favorite team. I enjoyed watching their playoff run this year, there are plenty of ex-dubs to root for, plus my brother just moved to Orlando for Law School, so I’m sure I’ll hear more about them. Second favorite is probably the Blazers, there mix of youth and talent is hard to resist at times. I got love for OKC , but how do you even watch them with so few nationally televised games?

whoever the Lakers are playing that night!

I was a big Jazz fan, but they showed so little heart at the end of last season, it’s hard to care anymore. If they can start showing they actually are motivated, they will be my 2nd favorite again.

as a native of New Orleans Im admittedly biased but the Hive is the most fun place to watch a game outside of Roaracle, and they have Chris Paul. I wish the Jazz had never moved though. They need that name back because the Hornets as a team name sucks only less than the Raptors or Heat, which sound like American Gladiator names. Its hard to put a shirt on with that dumbass dribbling insect on it.

I can’t have a 2nd team

but if i had to, probably choose any team iverson is one(favorite playa), any team that plays the lakers, or the sixers/nuggets

die hard Warrior fan for life. It’s the only team i love. I couldn’t leave this team if i tried. When they aren’t playing i really just watch the NBA as a fan of basketball so i will watch any team and root for certain teams(Blazers, Thunder, Magic and others) but i only follow the Golden State Warriors

But in the playoffs, I choose by matchup aha.

Nobody better say the Lakers

When I was little I really liked watching the Lakers play. Who didnt love the Showtime team? I think I just hate Kobe so much that I cannot overcome it right now. Pao Gasol seems like a total jerk too actually. I have seen him act like a baby at the Roaracle and talk shit to other people for no apparent reason.

When Kove finally leaves, if the Lakers are still fun to watch and dont latch onto another asshole player, I have to say I might swing back around to liking them as a second team

For one reason… Kevin Durant!
