Not sure if these types of posts are allowed so apologizes if they aren’t. I’ve been a diehard San Francisco Giants fan my whole life, my dad grew up there and baseball is the only sport I usually watch. But, the past few years I’ve really missed watching games in the off season, I’ve been watching Olympic basketball and I’ve really liked what I’ve watched so far. This lead me to trying to decide on a team to root for, my first thought was the Blazers, as I’ve lived in Portland my whole life and I plan to stay here as long as possible. But, every team I root for is from the Bay Area, Giants, Niners, and Sharks, so that lead me to thinking about the Warriors, which is also the team my dad rooted for growing up. Sports have always reminded me of him as he coached all my teams when I was young and some of my best memories are at Baseball games with him. I know the Warriors are on the decline right now so I was also thinking about the Kings, as the Giants have their Triple-A affiliate in Sacramento and I end up driving there once or twice a year to see games. If anyone has any insight that could help that would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance
blazers 1000% - not everyone lives in a city with an nba team, enjoy it!
since the blazers won’t be in playoff considerations and will probably lose a lot, my suggestion is to pick a good team in the east to secondarily root for so you can be invested in the playoffs without having to support an in-conference competitor. and it should be the knicks… :) but seriously, ex-blazer josh hart is extremely entertaining to follow
you could also pick the bucks bc of dame lillard, which could be cool too (i guess). that said, i don’t know how blazers fans feel about dame - josh was traded straight up, but dame requested a trade so there might be some lingering ill will in portland. either way knicks are arguably more buzzy and exciting to root for at this particular moment, and the vibes are historically good right now
