want to see LeBron bring the city of Cleveland a title. They've suffered enough.
While I think there is MUCH merit to this line of thought Atlanta has had its issues too. They have only a single championship in the past 20 years from the Braves. The last time the Hawks won one was 1958. The Falcons have only been to a single Super Bowl. That was the year they had a player win something like Sportsman of the Year only to be arrested for soliciting the day before the game.
I suppose Georgia Tech won a championship in 1990. And Georgia up the road won one in 1980.

I would rather Atlanta win. I'll take the good with the bad for either team

Given the choice between LeBron and Isis, I would have my Jihad foam finger on.
Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."

ha! love it.

I could root for Cleveland or any team Lebron has played for if all his teams didn't get to hang the whistles around their neck.

I think I have to go with the Cavs. I want to see the best basketball possible, and that involves the Cavs being in the Finals with the Spurs/Warriors.

I never want to see that city ever win a title.

Yeah, Boston could've gone further this season if they had just one more regular-season win, or if Bradley and Crowder and KO had stayed healthy, but even in a best-case scenario I can't imagine they would've advanced past the second round. It would've been great to see them go that far, but this season certainly wasn't a case of the Celtics getting robbed of a possible title shot.

In a best case scenario you can't see a healthy Boston beating Charlotte, Toronto (who barely got out of Round 1), and Atlanta?

You need to drink some of my green kool-aid, man.  Drink up, don't worry, there's plenty for everyone.  ;)



Maybe. But I'll keep drinking!

Would like Hawks because it will make us look better by comparison. If Hawks beat Cavs, then you could say we could have beaten Cavs. If Hawks are destroyed by Cavs, perception will be that we are much further away from competing for a championship. And keep the likes of Durant from considering us as suitors.

ATL.

If Cavs lose, they trade Love and we have another team that is looking to trade with us thus upping the value of our assets. Horford OTOH is a FA, so it's up to him and also rather have Love than Horford whom I'm not high on. Love's been underutilized because you have 2 high usage players in KI and LBJ.

Otherwise, I root for teams that beat my teams unless it's the Yankees.

see Atlanta has shooters but no inside or post presence(horford will never score down low on this team) so now they look like us playing against them, because they're all perimeter.

while it's obvious we need actual shooters and not just a bunch of guys that can make an occasional jump shot, an inside player must accompany any shooter we pick up.

it would be nice not to see Lebron in the finals for once.

Screw Dennis Schroeder and Jeff Teague. Go Cavs I guess. I don't like LeBron, but at least he has some class.

I can't stand Lebron but I still think he's currently the best. I think the Cavs would have beat the Warriors last year. I don't like seeing the best of one team vs another with their 2nd and :rd out for the series. I'd like to see them knock off the Warriors.
