I was watching the Timberwolve - Nugget game. Neither team looked terribly impressive through 3 (bed time I'm afraid). Poor ball movement on both sides.

It struck me that the Suns fans have a rooting interest in most games, although some are close calls. I was pulling for the Wolves because they are a lock to get into the playoffs while the Nuggets are only a threat to make the playoffs but hardly a sure thing.

I guess my principles are:

-- Always root for the eastern conference team against any western team.
-- Always root for the obvious lottery team within the west against any likely playoff team
-- Root for the elite team against the marginal playoff team
-- Always root against the Lakers no matter who they are playing :thumbup:

I always seemed to root for the Western teams over the Eastern teams a couple of years back because I felt it made us look better and I liked the idea that the Eastern teams were bottom feeders after all the pub they get. Now I think I probably feel the same way you do...

-root for any team playing the nba's biggest crybabys. (melo, ai, kobe, etc.)
-root for any team that is working with a good group of players to improve themself. the bucks and suns and grizzs (would be better if they got rid of jason williams).

Don't forget to always root against Chicago except when they have one of the worst 3 records. In that case you have to root for Chicago.
