The Phoenix Suns. Love watching the way they use speed, movement and intelligent team play to counter size and strength. Was impressed by the Raptors passing and unselfishness, a completely different dynamic from last year. While I marvel at the individual skills of Kobe, DWade and the like, intelligent team play is what I find the most entertaining. Larry Bird's Celtics will always be the gold standard for me (and I suspect for Joe Dumars too).
How can a Piston fan have the Bull's as their second favorite team? That would be like me having the Wolverines as my second favorite. Taint gonna happen!
That guy is a little too excited to be waving a sharp implement. If you show up at an arena looking like that you're going to get tazered before you get through the gate.
I don't mind rooting for the Buckeyes even though I'm a Wolverine. Can't live your life hatin' on others. Those recruits playing for you could have have just as easily signed on to Michigan. And then you have the Ben Wallace situation. How can he stand to play for the Bulls? Probably because these guys don't have loyalties anymore. They play for the Benjies.
If I have to choose one...The Bobcats...and you know why? I love their defense...I think the most efficient D is in Detroit and Charlotte.
The Bobcats' defense is like Mo Evans': a lot of false hustle and activity that doesn't accomplish much. Okafor's a great defensive player, but Bickerstaff has the guards and Wallace chasing the ball and then trying to intercept long passes, which has them in the mid-20s in points allowed/100 possessions. Of course, the top 15 in that stat include Cleveland (!), Dallas, Denver (!!), the Clippers, Phoenix (!!!), and Sacramento (!!), so it's not a perfect indicator of a team's defensive weaknesses.
--------- Yeah and the dudes feet are on backwards. Some one should get Zoo99 are Porky Pig avatar. I think he has a thing for pudgy things.
