Boston maybe, just because the Warriors and Patriots are hated on the same level.
Probably Lakers fans. I've never met a Laker fan who didn't want to murder LeBron in his sleep. And I live in southern California.
Definitely Bulls fans. They gotta be ripping their hair out with everyone talking about LeBron surpassing Jordan.
Believe it or not, there are some OKC fans who want to see KD win. They have this ridiculous notion that he'll return once he's got a ring or three. I liken them to sad sacs who still want their wife back despite the fact that she left him to go bang some millionaire.

Warriors broke the Bulls record though, so don't count on that. I hate that more than talk of LeBron passing GOAT Jordan.

Kinda feels that way. I'm hoping LeBron and Cavs win it this year, and Warriors blow up their squad. Instead it is likely to be more of the same, I guess.
Five of these Finals in a row isn't crazy.
Weren't you saying how the NFL can possibly compare to the NBA and shiz though, for a number of reasons? Everyone I talk to, this is precisely why none of us give a flying fuck about the NBA (especially since the Lakes are teh suck), it's gonna be the same fucking thing for awhile.

Leburn came back for Cleveland, so there is hope? Nah, Durant didn't grow up in nor was drafted there so you be fucked. :arrow:

KD fans still in denial. Best to accept it and start hating.

Well, the NBA is doing a lot right and the NFL is doing a lot wrong, but the NFL will always have parity.
I must continue to point out the mythologization of the 1980s, when the Lakers and Celtics met in the Finals theee times and one of the two appeared in every single one. Being a star-dominated sport, parity doesn't help basketball in the same way it does football.

Also, the parallels between Magic Johnson coming in as GM and John Elway coming in as GM are pretty astounding.
Believe my brotha! We will be back.

Orgasmic first quarter. KD, LeBron, Steph and Kyrie all look great. Scary that GS getting so many offensive rebounds.

Nah, the Warriors being super villains + the vandalism incident at LeBron's home makes him more of a babyface than he's ever been.

Except KD is an all-time-great who played in OKC for 8 years, while Iggy was a merc in Denver for one year who is a role player now.
Totally the same though.

Iggy literally defected to GS DURING Denver's playoff series against them. The ultimate backstabbing.

That was a good call, actually.
This would really be an even matchup without KD.
