Seems like they are getting a lot of attention and look like a fun team. From a team standpoint, boston losing could help the pelicans. From a league standpoint, theres a lot of hatred towards GSW, HOU, LA, Bos and it seems like they are the team to root for. Also seem they have the hearts of many small market followers who want to see Antetokounmpo and the bucks beat out the large markets and their agenda. Anyone have an opinion? I also wouldn't mind Toronto getting a shot.


Would be a good middle finger to the whole superteam mentality that appears to influence the pussy superstars of the league with LeBrun as their tampering ringleader

If that is your MO then you should root for CC since hardwn spurned the shite out of lebron and told him that he didn’t wanna join up in Houston.

Or you should pull for pdx and dame. Bc that guy is always vocal about being anti super team.

Yeah. Frick you to the big markets who are subsidizing small markets like the Bucks/ Pelicans who lost money last season even AFTER revenue sharing / luxury taxes.

Nice when snall markets stop the constant whining or give proof where big markets are dominating Free agency. It's demonstrably false.

Giannis is probably MVP but people that don't watch basketball have no idea who he is.

I'm actually going to disagree with this but just from my own experience.

I work in international markets so work daily with a lot of Europeans. Some in Europe (london, berlin, madrid etc) and some here.

because of the Greek Freak, a lot of people that don't even follow the sport (soccer being the main they do) know of him because he's European.

He's gotten tons of press because of where he's from with who I've dealt with.

Greek Freak best 2-way player in the game, submitting his best season yet, leading the MILWAUKEE BUCKS OF ALL TEAMS to the league's best record, he doesn't win MVP this season something's wrong

Im not hoping for that but once I saw Antetekounmpo and his bucks beat GSW I understood that it could happen.

Do you usually pull for the team of the current year's MVP? That seems a little strange. Harden won it last year but I don't think it was 'expected' until later in the season. Did you start pulling for the Rockets late in the year?

I think it would be cool to see the Bucks in the Finals, definitely would elevate Giannis into 'Best in the World' consideration.

Hatred towards GSW, Lakers ,Knicks & Bulls who pay the Lions share of revenue sharing to 14 teams who lost money last season( 9 even after revenue sharing)? I think big markets need to re-examine this supposed " agenda".


I would think Pelicans fans are rooting against the Bucks since they were fined for brazenly / publicly tampering with AD.

Instead of butchering his name why don’t you just go with Gina for short

Boom, outside of Houston, who do you favor? When LSU was in the dumps, my second team was always Kansas. Thinking about adopting 76ers for my second NBA team. I used to sweat the Clips before NOLA got a team but I couldn’t root for CP3.5 quarters or Blake. Please weigh in on this.

PDX for my NBA. Dame is my favorite player who isn’t a current or former rocket. And on CFB I like nova I have couzans in both sides the family who went there.

I LOVED Dame Dolla's comments rejecting the whole superteam approach because he wants to win his title with integrity and elbow grease and not take the easy way out, dude's old school, throwback player LOVE IT

Yeah, I mean AD.

It also applies to Paul George. Look at the shitshow called the Los Angeles Lakers

I am just excited the East playoffs will be a real battle this year

Hopefully someone can knock of GSW in the West (even if it is the Rockets)

I think the Semis and Conference finals in the East could be higher quality than in the West. Obviously the first round will be much better in the West.
