If the Vikings had won the superbowl a couple times recently, would you stop liking them and rooting for them?

Haha, well Im a die hard Raps fan. But since I know the Raps are a growing team that is still building, the Spurs are my post season favourites.

hasn't that been the case for like, a decade?

Not really, they used to have good players and just be a bad team. Since they got rid of Babcok and got Collangelo, they've gotten to be such a better team with pick ups on guys like Anthony Parker and Jamario Moon.

UGH!
I despise the spurs! They eliminated my favorite team (Phoenix) every year for the past 3 years I believe, I hope they lose to New Orleans adn I hope the Hornets go to the finals,

The Lakers are just head and shoulders above everyone else. They have everything, youth, experience, defense, offense, shooters, big men, coaching, a star player, an excellent bench...

Without Kobe they are crap....That's a fact.

Please tell me that you're joking, they've got one of the best front lines in basketball without Bynum and great bench scoring. They'd be competing for the 7 or 8th seed in the West without him. Hardly something to be laughed at.

well explain that to their dismal performance without him, they are terriable, the front line isn't that great compared to otehr teams in the western conference, the bench isn't deep at all. If Kobe is injured this team will be terriable. Lack of ecpierence because it is still a fairly young team doesn't boad well for them. If you look at teams liek New Orleans Chris Paul is the star player but he gets everyone involved and makes them better, same Lebron James, same witha bunch of other teams. Other teams have star players too, just they make the surrounding cast look better.
