    I'm just sharing some fond memories.


    I'm also excited to see that Bledsoe is back. Hope he's in playoff form.

    They fixed your brain when you were young.

    Ok, looking for some guidance.

    I used to watch basketball religiously growing up. Being an 80s-90s kid, and having parents who were already Chicago sports fans, I fell in love with the Bulls. Such a fun team, and it just made sense. When that team went their own ways, I lost most interest in the NBA and just became a casual fan and have kept up with all the big NBA news and played 2K every now and again.

    I'm looking to dive back in with the games coming up and am looking for a team to make my new team to follow and want some guidance on who would be a good team to choose.

    I want a team with some exciting players and is overall a good team, but not like the "fan favorite-shoe in to win bandwagon team.

    I'm a diehard Washington Capitals and Chicago Bears fan, so I don't really have city allegiances; although I'm from Maryland. I'm tempted by the Bucks, because of their logo/jersey/colors.

    Bucks are the front-runners right now along with the Lakers. Jumping on that bandwagon now definitely applies to jumping on a bandwagon.

    The Nuggets, Mavericks, Pelicans, Kings, 76ers, and Grizzlies are all good teams if you were going to start rooting for a team now.

    I was a Nets fan growing up, then they left NJ and I've been teamless for awhile. I've been trying to pick a new team to follow too.

    Pick the Sixers if you want constant heartbreak and love being let down.

    I thought the Bucks had a history of being really good, but choking. So I kind of felt some Washington Capitals vibes there, which is part of why I related.

    The Pelicans and Grizzlies were also on my short list.

    The Sixers are a really cool progressive team that are so pro gun control reform that they refuse to shoot.

    You should just choose the Bucks if you already feel a link towards them imo. No need to force it

    Bucks are dope, I love that team. I liked that team for reasons I can't explain, but they have two time b2b MVP Giannis rocking right now and he's 25(?) so it's a bandwagon jump akin to rooting for LeBron on the Heat.

    This got me. Even though I was born in PA, I've always semi-disliked all PA teams. Otherwise, I'd actually been pretty interested in the Sixers.

    It comes with the added bonus of being able to follow Giannis to Charlotte next year.

    That's kind of similar to how I feel about the Raptors. I liked them a lot as a team when I was a kid because their jerseys, logo and Jurassic Park ruled.. So I was inclined to lean that way, but know they've been pretty good lately, so don't want to risk that bandwagon.

    At the end of the day, it's entertainment. Don't stress it. Just enjoy the weirdness of the playoffs and figure out which team play style you like and then just keep following!

    Pick the Celtics if you enjoy overplayed jokes about how a soon-to-be-star is only 19 years old.

    An added Perk (get it) is that every 3 years we get to have a reunion of a team that won one championship and thinks itself a dynasty! But one of the stars still isn't invited FYI.
     
  23. Pretty much anyone but the Lakers and you’re good imo

    I agree with Pelicans, Nuggets, Mavs, they’re going to good for a while. I’d also say the Heat and Blazers.
