If It's Golden State-Cleveland, Which Team Winning Is More "Tolerable"?

[18isGREATERthan72]

For me it's easily Cleveland who I'd rather see win, in convincing fashion even.  The Warriors are so arrogant it's disgusting.  For a team that didn't even have a fan base 5 years ago, they sure do talk a lot.

I respect Lebron, and I think he respects the Celtics organization... However I think Irving can pound sand.  I remember when in game 1 he pointed to the scoreboard when IT and Thompson got into some trash talk.... Like, this dude could barely get the Cavaliers over 30 games before LeBron came back.  I think Kyrie is possibly one of the most overrated and arrogant players in the league.

I think Kyrie is a tad bit overrated (not a superstar), but I don't think he's that bad tbh.

IMO DEFINITELY better than the likes of Draymond.

Klay irritates me too. Only fitting for him to sass Lebron last year ("he got his feelings hurt") and claim they are better than Showtime Lakers, and then blows a 3-1 lead...

Golden State.

I don't want LeBron to surpass Larry Legend at total number of rings.

Larry Legend, the best SF of all time!

Cleveland. It's not even close. GS winning would be the worst thing that could happen to NBA.

Seconded. I still have some dislike for LeBron, but Draymond's dirty, and KD spurned Boston—and the chance to be "the man" and carve out a great legacy—in exchange for being a hanger-on.

Not that I like seeing LeBron win, but he's already got a few titles, so what's one or two more?

Once the Celtics are out , I couldn't care less really,

I voted for Golden State , the only reason being that they at least had to play out most of the regular season in a tougher conference unlike the Cavs who basically went through the motions the last couple of months waiting for the playoffs, sad state of affairs the eastern conference.

Rooting for Cleveland and I don't even like Lebron.

[pearljammer10]

LeBron is my least favorite player and person in the world.

However, I rooted for the Cavs in the finals last year and if they get there I will be doing the same this season. That's just how un-rootable the Warriors are.

[the TRUTH]

I'll be rooting hard for Golden State. LeBron is the most obnoxious professional athlete I've seen in a long time, and as another poster said, Cavs fans are just as bad.

This is about the same for me too. I´ve hated Lebron before he even played a game in the NBA (because he was handed the keys to the league and he knew that at the age of 18 and acted like it). I still dislike him as a player, but I´ve grown to respect his game these last two playoffs. He is a perfect basketball player now at 32. J.R. Smith is a dirty idiot on the court.

Curry is SUPER annoying. Green wouldn´t be anything if he was drafted by Magic and he´s just stupid with a loud mouth. Zaza is a caveman, so I won´t say anything about him, might confuse him with big words. Klay and Iggy are nice.

I´ve always rooted for Richard Jefferson and Shaun Livingston.

Man eff-bomb both of those teams.

Cleveland.

It'd suck for Lebron to keep passing Bird, but that's inevitable, he's already drawing Jordan comparisons, might as well get it over with and have him get his 4th title.

Meanwhile, it would be one of the greatest NBA things ever to see Durant's confused, crestfallen face as the Cavs clinch the title.

[Green-18]

The Warriors winning after Kevin Durant goes down with an injury (nothing career threatening) in the Western Conference Finals!  This way LeBron doesn't win another title yet and Durant gets his first ring without playing in the Finals.  I still resent the fact that LeBron gets celebrated for returning to Cleveland when he essentially cherry picked the perfect opportunity to make it happen.  I believe he would have gotten over the hump eventually had he stayed the course in Cleveland.

You can't compare Bird to Bron. Different eras, The league was a lot tougher and called more evenly by refs in Bird era. Fouls were fouls then, not flagrant etc... Bird got knock around for whole games and no "hand check" rule etc... Bird would average 40-15-12 in today's NBA.Bird would go to the line 20 times a game. IT's just a much softer, star treatment league than it was in the 80's.

[csfansince60s]

I don't root for rivals of the Celtics ever....period.

The Poll should ask "do you root for GSW or The self proclaimed Chosen One.

Give me the players without the messianic complex.

James has been our main rival over the past 7-8 years.

No matter how dastardly anybody perceives the GSW, they never have been our rivals, so I don't have a beef with them. James I have beef with.

I'd love for the Spurs to steal a game in their house, and then proceed to come back and make Golden State blow a 3-1 lead LOL. Then beat CLE in the Finals.

That's the best for all of us!
