I need help! I'm not talking physically. I really need help this time!(some of you have known this for a while) Since the Spurs sucked it up in the first round, I don't know who to root for! Do I root for the team I hate? Or merely the team I severely detest? I'm really confused this year.
Most years, I have a healthy dose of apathy when the Spurs aren't playing in the finals. This year, I can't even work that up. On one hand, we have a bunch of overpaid, whiney-ass "professionals" playing a kids game, wearing blue. On the other hand, we have a bunch of overpaid, cry-baby "professionals" playing a kids game, wearing red.
One team has Mark Cuban. Enough said. The other team has LeBron "everybody watch me" James. One team has as it's spiritual leader an admitted wife beater. The other team was once coached by Pat Riley. You see my quandary.
On one hand, I feel like I should root for the team from Texas, kinda, almost a home team. But then again, Mark Cuban has made some pretty disparaging comments about San Antonio in the past, plus I just think he's a spoiled-ass little punk.
On the other hand, Miami was coached for a very long time by Pat Riley, who I'm pretty sure was able to soak up the entire Gulf oil spill with his hair. There is also the LeBron factor. I wasn't a real big fan anyway, but when he pulled his entire "I'm gonna hold all the NBA fans hostage just cuz I can" spectacle that overshadowed every other thing that was possibly happening in the World at that moment, it got under my skin!
I know both teams probably have some redeeming qualities. I'd like to Dirk win a series. I also kinda like Dwayne Wade and Mike Miller from Miami. But I'm really torn.
So I need your help. Please post comments on my blog with who you think I should root for. I'll root for whoever gets the most votes. Whether I like them or not.(probably more of the not, but, hey, a deals a deal)
Sorry, I am not a sport person! :o/
