As a Hornets fan, did you find yourself rooting for OKC?

I find it hard to, kinda rooting for spurs or celts cause they been there kind of done that with some of those players. With teams like OKC, they make me a bit more jealous as they are doing what we want to do so it makes it tough for me to root for them. They got such the young golden egg even though they got players like Durant and Westbrook and ibaka who you can hardly so the first negative thing about. Harden on other hand is a pussy and i can't stand him the more i watch him.

Most Hornets fans on this board hate OKC because they tried to steal the Hornets during Katrina.

Personally, I don't remember it being as bad as some here do and it's hard to hate OKC right now. They are new to the spotlight, seem like a really enthusiastic fan base and have likable star players.

Better OKC than Miami!

Out of the 3 teams left, yes I want them to win the most. I do think they are a model for what our future will be, so it is fun to watch them and imagine the Hornets in 4-5 years.

Yes, I'm pulling for OKC. I like Durant and Harden, and I like that they are a small market team built the right way and not having a "big 3" of some sorts come together because established stars want to play together and make it easier for them to win (Boston and Miami).

I've been a Hornets fan ever since the 100-75 beat down of the Jazz. That being said I've always rooted for OKC and hold no hard feelings for what they did because honestly we would have tried the same thing.

This.

I actually like the team and its management. I loathe the city and many of the fans. I understand the "great atmosphere" at the games, but they're a bunch cattle rustlin' rubes.

I hated OKC/YHT but somehow it all went away over the past few years. I was rooting for them all the way once the Knicks got eliminated. I just like their team and coach a lot.

Plus you can't help but be thrilled for HR's old friend Doug "Dawgz" Loadonback

I will say that girls and young women in OKC are . Dallas quality.

So - better women and better basketball team. That's not all bad. NOLA still wins by a landslide though

They lucked up. They got superstar who wants to play in a small market and I hope AD will be the same. And Yes and no I want miami to win because I'm a huge wade fan. I tried and cant be a full heat fan though if their is a team in my city I have to be a hardcore fan for it.
