    The Raptors because of Kyle Lowry (one of my all-time favorite Rocket players of the past) and that if the Raptors win, it might make Kawhi stay in Toronto.

    i wanted the raptors but they cant beat the 6ers in 5, and dragging it to 7 games is worse for them than it is for the 6ers.
    thought blazers would beat the nugs in 5 too but the nugs role players magically flipped the switch in the middle of the po's.
    if milsap, harris, and murray dont suck they can give the warriors more hell than blazers.

    Raptors or Blazers would be "cool".

    Have a feeling it'll be Bucks v. Warriors.
    Old (but still favorable) media darling vs new media darling.
    Go Bucks?!

    From a Rockets/Harden perspective, could be looking at...

    West
    Nuggets--Jokic/Murray/Millsap/Harris getting a ring before Harden
    Blazers--Dame/CJ getting a ring before Harden

    East
    Bucks--Yannis getting a ring before Harden
    Raptors--Kawhi already got a ring but Lowry/Gasol/Ibaka
    76ers--Simmons/Embiid/Butler/Harris getting a ring before Harden

    (or the Warriors just keep filling out their hand)

    Harden gonna have to get up on outta here if he wants a ring. :eek::D:oops:

    I won't be watching basketball, but I hope GSW wins another ring because I want the Rockets to be the ones to beat them. And that's real. Denver Portland, Toronto, Philly, Bucks win a ring I will be pissed because it should have been the Rockets.

    I still can't believe the Rockets lost again..

    Being a Rockets fan and hating the Warriors don't have to go hand in hand. They are a great team, and the only team I want to see beat them are the Rockets.

    I want GS to come out of the West. I don't want someone else capitalizing on the Hell we put them through.

    Then I want them to lose in the finals. I don't care who beats them.

    Trap question. We still root for the Rockets!

    Beyond this, it is acceptable to root for Rockets legends like Kyle and Jeremy.

    you have to root for the team that beat you. and they better demolish all competition. yes they beat you but atleast they are the best. and i would be disappointed if someone else beat them honestly.

    Should've been an option for "no one".

    But if the Warriors win, great. That will remind everyone to be annoyed at them and Durant.

    I won't watch another playoff game as long as the Warriors stay alive. The last non-Rockets series I watched a game in was Spurs-Heat 2 in 2014. Screw the Warriors. Make the NBA balanced again. We watch sports for unpredictability, not so today's NBA Twitter-Tough-Guys can make themselves feel good.

    Maybe hope the warriors sweep the rest of the way and maybe you can take a little comfort that the rockets looked the best against them?

    This makes sense, too bad no one will realize it in the media.
