Taj is going to be a star in this league... He reminds me a lot of Dhoward with much better touch! Just hope the Bulls realize it and don't let him go over keeping boozer

Can't Edit post anymore.
When did I ever admit that I jump from team to team? I like specific teams, and dislike other specific teams. Yes, I do follow certain players but that doesn't mean I like the team they play on. I don't necessarily like the Heat, but because Lebron is there I'd like to see the Heat win (for Lebron's sake).
However, unlike most people, the teams that I like are not a result of the city I grew up in or peer pressure.
Edit: If in my earlier post I indicated that I switch teams every season/off-season, I did so inadvertently. Many of "my" teams have not changed since I was old enough to understand/follow the sport well enough to develop opinions about them. I'm more a fan of sports than of actual teams. Personally I find it hard to cheer against the more exciting teams to watch because those teams, despite how I feel about their management/coaching/players, are the ones that make the game fun.
Keep in mind that the most exciting teams aren't always the best (or worst) teams out there. The Lakers, for instance, aren't very fun to watch, but they are still one of the best teams in the NBA. Similarly, the Miami Dolphins are really fun to watch despite not being very successful lately in the NFL.
There is a difference between "my" teams (like the Chargers) and teams that I like (like the OKC Thunder).
I'm sorry STLG but I can no longer really respect any of your opinions (or how about I will just take them with a grain of salt). The fact that you admit you jump from team to team with no remorse just is something of a "pet peeve" of mine.
Anyways I am rooting for a good series (which is a 4-0 sweep by my standards) but 100% know that on any given night the Heat can put up a TON of points and create a lot of havoc for the bulls (hence the first 6 minutes). That being said, this is a team sport and I think the Thunder proved how 1 man (westbrook) no matter how good can not carry a team to victory!

first of all this is NOT his rookie year! Second of all I guess the fact you grew up on an island where surfing is the states past time you really are not educated at all when it comes to the NBA (i'm afraid to listen to you once football starts)....

Not crazy at all... Just one game, and if the Three Queens are as good as they think they are, the loss last night should light a fire like we have never seen before!
