    It doesn’t matter because I’m done watching. No more rockets so no more watching.

    The nba has never been balanced and has rarely been unpredictable.

    Is your point to defend the Warriors or just argue with me?

    Honestly, the Warriors. What Curry did in games 6 and 7 made me feel excited for basketball again

    I wasn't even mad.. he has the heart of a champion I wish our players had. Except for PJ my god I LOVE that man

    Is to give you facts. It was real unpredictable and balanced when that Heat team made 4 straight finals.

    I'm going for the Raptors because I like Kawhi.

    Unfortunately I think the Warriors win again.

    I don’t give a **** about any other team. I’ll root for Toronto for two reasons only:

    1. Kawhi stays in the East
    2. Butler wants to come to Houston after getting crushed in game 7.

    I'm not watching either but I hope anybody but the Warriors win. The Rockets blew their chance and we had opportunities to beat them and choked. I would laugh if Denver beat them but am not watching any of the playoffs after that HUGE letdown. In still upset over getting my hopes up once again.

    To all you saying that you’re done watching once the Rockets are out, are you not NBA fans? There’s plenty of quality basketball to watch if you’re a fan of the game. If you aren’t, why even watch the sport at all? Seems kind of dumb to me.

    Probably not watching any of the rest of the playoffs. It hurts too much, man...every single year...

    Because I only care about the Rockets. I only watch the other teams and players in relation to my team. The rest of the NBA is just the teams that I want to beat.

    To answer the original question, I don't root for anyone else, I wish they could all lose and there be no winner. That being said, I would rather the Warriors win and sweep everyone else. At least we'll have lost to the champions yet again (if they win).
