|||The raptors....the nice guys, the underDOGGZ, the SH'T!!!|||Anybody other than the L.A. Lakers because Kobe Bryant is a ball-hogging jerk and the N.Y. Knicks since their general manager is a racist womanizer and a jerk.|||I am a Laker fan but I hate Kobe. I would root for the BOSTON CELTICS because of kevin garnett, and ray allan!!|||just root for the team you live closest to.|||the warriors,nuggets,lakers,cavs,heat,celtic鈥?and suns are all good teams to root and they're fun to watch





do not watch spurs or mavs games,they will make you fall asleep. you can root for them, but dont watch their games!|||The Phoenix Suns of course!!! Go Suns|||I would say the Spurs. They are the current Champions and have some of the most UNselfish players in the NBA.|||You could root for the Pistons with me!





You may find you like the Detroit Pistons; They are one of the better teams in the east and are likely to play deep into the playoffs again this year. They won NBA championships in 89, 90, and 2004. Before they were the Detroit Pistons, before the NBA was even formed, back in the 40's and 50's they were the Ft Wayne Pistons.





Back when they dominated things in the late 80's before Jordans rise to power, the Pistons were known as the Bad Boys. Mainly because they indimidated their opponents with hard fouls and reckless play.





Currently they are known for their defensive play.


Peronality-wise, their team centers around the animated but fiercely intesnse Rasheed Wallace. Even at his age (33), he is one of the best players at his position in the league. His temper gets the best of him every now and then and because of that he leads the league in technical fouls. Unlike some teams, Detroit reliese not just on one superstar. Other major contributors include 'Rip' Hamilton, Chauncey Billups, and Teshaun Prince are all all-star calibre players who could each lead their team on any given night. Look for Jason Maxiell to make a name for himself this year with a breakout season.





Everytime the Pistons do something good in a home game, the loud speaker announcer yells out: DEEEEEEEEETROIT BASKETBALL!!!!!!!!!!! And the fans go wild.|||Lakers|||the one closest to you.
